I have a 91 civic hatch dx with a d15b2. I bought my car from this dealership and the guy gave a list of engines that this other guy gets from japan, there all gaurenteed under 30k miles. So hmmm, I can get this b18 for $750 and the place next door will do the swap. I can probably just get enough money (this is my graduation present for high school). Im not to sure how much there going to charge me for doing the swap but the guy said its an easy swap.

What do you think? should i go through with the swap or change the head in my d15 and do other stuff or what?

post comments or suggestions -thanks-

 

Don't forget the price of the parts you need too. mounts, axles, shift linkage..etc

 

Id port and polish the head,cam,cam gear, and intake manifold and start building it for turbo.

yup.. in my opinion, a 1.8 is SO much more fun than a 1.5. i'm more for torque, but like 90civichatch said, turbo is also a good way to go. Here in CA, I'm wanting to make it legal, so turbo is pretty much out of the question. thats why my vote is for the 1.8. I'm not sure what your laws are over there, but that might also play a big factor in your decision. i know it did in mine! hope that helps.
