im wanting to but a 98 civic ex with a d16 sohc non vtech and i was wondering if i can make the head swap for a b16 dohc and possibaly make it vtech and i need some advice or if it would just be cheaper to make a complete engine swap with a b16c or b18c

 

You're in luck! the '98 ex is d16y8 sohc vtec already.

Just an fyi before you get flamed.. vtech is a phone and you can't put a dual overhead cam head on a single overhead cam block.

There are lots of great swaps available. use the search

 

there are alot of junkyards around here with alot of hondas would it be possible to make it dohc if i got a block, head, valvetrain, and cams and just make a block swap with out haveing to drop a whole new engine in it? and if so what kind of block would i need?

Like Daedus said, its not possible to put a dohc head on a sohc block.. You can get a zc motor which is a dohc non-vtec d-series motor or you can go to a b-series motor if you want dohc..

And why do you want to go dohc anyway, there are plenty of cheaper ways to make your sohc quick..

thanks you guys are great help .... but i want dohc and vtec but its not like im going to go out a build a 600hp boosted 7sec car working at a damn grocerie store all i need is decent set of headers intake and exaust and to beat my friends
93 gs teg with an overkill intake an a nice heavy system in the trunk an to show all the damn rednecks at my school that think their daddys busted 69' chevell and think that the best thing in the world is dual cherry bomb exhaust and a rebel flag in their back window

ill suggest a homemade turbo kit and you can peice it together for under 1000.....check out homemadeturbo.com and go to turbo projets.

 

A 69 Chevelle would own your Honda

 

its gonna take alot more than a motor swap to beat sum rednecked muscle cars. wit the money it would cost u to put together a swap motor you can just go turbo wit your sohc.
just my .02 cents

You.. have a lot of reading and researching to do before you tackle something such as an engine swap or turbo install. Btw, there is no B16C.

you will not do a swap, you will turbo your d.

Lets see gsr swap with bolt ons 190whp if your lucky---$3000 ATLEAST

Custom turbo kit on ur d good for 200-220whp----$1000, you do the math.

If you sleeved a b18c and only bored it to a 1.6L then it would be a b16c..

But I dont think that is what he meant..
