im geting a 92 civic hb and it needs a engine, im going to be a every day driver to work and stuff so i need relable engine. im realy in to the custom and perfomance cars thats y i wont to get a civic. I still wont my civic to have some ***** and be able to cheep up with my bros vr6 and stuff...SO buds what engine u recamend would be the best 4 me??? thanks sean_rze@hotmail.com

 

Any thing better than the single cam. id recommend B18c1 or a C5

 

b16 would be ok. If lucky try to get your hand on b18c - jdm gsr i think .. or get an b20 will some 50 shot nitrous.

 

do you wont one or do you want one?
first get that decision
next either find a usdm gsr or a si motor swap
b18c1-gsr
b16a2-si
full swap will give you a very noticeable difference in horses and torque
youll love the b18c1
trust me
pEaCE

 

every buddy is saying go with a gsr but they dont have much torque 126 lbs and a 180hp that does not seem like a good balance? what whould it be like in a hach .. would 0 to 60 be good ?

The ****?

Then get 94 MR2 Turbo. 200hp/200tq

 

u think it would be beter for me to trubo a d16z6 motor than get with a n/a gsr?

By this do you mean better as in more reliable, or better as in faster? No doubt a n/a B18c would more reliable, but a turbo D16z6 should be faster, depending on amount of boost. If you already have a Z6, it would be much cheaper to turbo it than buy a gs-r engine.

hah. welcome to honda-tech - where everyone is searching for this ellusive thing called torque. if you want torque h22 is what you want. or maybe a b20 or b20vtec.

there is so many options to consider for a swap. i'm in the same boat as you are now, trying to figure out which motor is best for my needs. figure out exactly what you want first (hp, torque, saving $$$, etc etc). once you know exactly what you want, you should know which motor is best for you. it's not an easy decision though - make sure you know what your getting into before you just go by some parts that you don't want or need.

 

yea im looking 4 relibley and speed the car needs a new engine . im not realy in to going 200 and stuff i just wont a engine will giveme some good power , 0 to 100 and be able to keep up to my bros vr6 lol
thanks 4 reading

 

i would do b18c5 but ab18c if you do not have a boatload of money

 

ok i'm gonna say it: cheap, reliable, fast. pick two - you can't have all three.

 

Ok, first off it sounds like you really dont know alot about what your getting yourself into and you sound kinda young (i really cant talk cause im only 17, but ive been into Honda's for about 4 years now)...so im just saying is do some research and figure out excatly what you want, because there ALOT of possibilities out there. well good luck

 

I have a GSR in my hatch for daily driving. Pretty damn quick!

 

no i dont have a boat full of money lol
i cant aford a type r or h22 but i can squese in a gsr engine with the money i have i no some stuff about the engine but not enoff do they have go exal. or only high speed? thanks all u guys are realy helping me out

 

i would go with the GSR if you have the money and want reliability, not a SOHC turbo.

 

H22 are cheaper than B18c....but everything is money!!
Sometime how much money you have.. will only allow certain engine or mods!!
For example if I buy a complete motor right now, my funds will be enough for a B16a2..but if I wait til spring I could have enough for a B18c.
So how deep is your wallet??...
oh..yeah a turbo kit for your stock d16z6 will be cheaper and faster than a stock gsr but you're pretty much done when you turbo it....but a stock N/A b16 or b18 will still have room for more more speeds mods!!

 

just get the b-one-eight-c-one

 

Build the D series. for 1500 you can murder B series powered cars

 

depends how much you have to spend......you can go either of these routes....

jdm itr/usdm itr/cdm itr/CTR
LSVTEC
B20Vtec
Poor man's itr build (b18c block/b16a head)
LS TURBO

or even sohc turbo is FAST!

 

All depends on how much ur willing to put into it.

Personally, B18c1 or c5 or B16B

While you are still undecieded, start saving up money... Then when you finally reached a decision you have a good amount of money to start with unlike buying your way that you want to go. You have plenty of information on this tread recommending which setup you want to go. It all depends on how much you want to spend, goals for the car, and how fast you want to be. Have fun and good luck

 

what is your budget? are you installing the engine or is a shop?

 

this is covered to many times. just search and you will find everything your heart desires. its not that hard.

 

thanks 4 the help every one.. i was thinking of a engine swap for this car i was going to buy that needs a engine but u never no what your going to get when doing that .. so right now i think im just going to spend some cash and get a good runing si d16z6 civic and save up for a turbo.. or even in the years to come a gsr motor thanks for the help guys
