i have a 95 civic lx non vtec, and im thinking about getting an engine swap. i have about $1000 right now, and im going to be making some more soon. I dont really know whats out there and what kind of power they put out. i was thinking about a b16, but i know there are several different kinds. if anyone can help me or has a site about it thatd be cool. also, is there anything else i need to buy to do it? and is there anything else anyone would recomend me getting with it while i have the car apart for some more hp? i need to get a new engine soon.

 

if ur on a budget, get a b16, theyre very cheap and easy to come by...

 

which one, and how much hp can i get out of it?

 

Get a second gen b16a, or usdm b16a2. Basically the swap with the hydraulic tranny.

As to how much horsepower, n/a or turbo?

 

u can get however much your wallet allows...stock is 160 fly HP though

 

no turbo, dont have that kind of money right now.

i was wondering if i could get a little more hp with the new b16a. ive thought about maybe a lightweight flywheel, but im not sure if that would help much. Also, my friend told me i could get new adjustable cam gears. what would that do?

i have a full cat-back exaust too, should i consider new headers? or should i do anything with intake? i have an aem cold air intake now. any ideas or info apreciated. thnx

 

flywheel wont do **** for ur setup...just get the regular Intake header and exhaust...

 

i already have a cold air intake and cat back exhaust

and what about cam gears? what would that do?
