hey
i'm thinkin of doin an engine swap on my civic but i'm not too sure what engine i should get. alot of people have said i should get a b16. what will be a good engine that i can get? i have a 1991 civic standard hatchback. i want something that will give me a good start up point in make'n a mean racer. any advice will be great. thanks

 

search it is your friend. cost wise a b16 cable is a good way to go. but, any engine will fit any car. search and see what you want. there are many options.

a B16 in that car will run its *** off no doubt. If anyone can back me up on this one dosn't hasport or someone make a hydroconversion i prefer the feel of a hydro tranny i don't like the way cable trannys shift.

 

do u think a b18c5 will fit?
probably might have to cut a few things to make it snuggle
i know an h22 will fit a 92-95 hatch

This may sound really stupid and off topic.....but....how does a cable tranny work as opposed to a hydro? Is it just that the hydro uses hydrolics to change gears from the shifter? Maybe i should go look under my car

Thanks,

B16 sweet for sure but there are alot of things that will drive up the price on you. For ex. you have to buy a new motor mount and I believe they are 250-300 bux alone...

I went with a d16Y8 from a 97 ex in my STD... just about 130hp. dropped right in with stock mounts.. (have to use one mount from the STD motor...) I bought the motor and hydro trans from a guy for 500...sold the tranny for 200... not exactly a b16 but it is a HELL of a lot faster than it was...and MUCH cheaper...plus parts are really easy to find...
