dd_biggy Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 I've got an '89 civ w/ a cai, though I don't really have any other mods done to the engine. The body isn't in great shape, and I am looking to up the engine w/out a swap, though the original engine is still in it w/ ~190,xxx mi. Any suggestions?

Guest that1chrisguy Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 seriously, swap to a b16a, 1500 bucks, some time and some tools, and your car will have 160 hp... other than that, Just get bolt ons i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dd_biggy Posted October 31, 2002 Author Share Posted October 31, 2002 have been thinking about a swap, though not sure what car I am going to have in the near future. on talking about the b16a swap, would an sir1 swap be just as easily modified as an sir2? Though the sir2 has an extra ten horses, it's usu. about 1g more, and I can hardly afford the sir1. NEED FEEDBACK ON THIS ONE GUYS. ~thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optional187 Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 save the pennies and get a b18c5... j/k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dd_biggy Posted November 1, 2002 Author Share Posted November 1, 2002 hah, could be a lot of fun, though if i went w/ the b18c series engines, i'd get the b18c1, better for forced induction later Oh, and if any of you would like to loan me a few, um, thousand....

0verb00st Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 if you have the money get an engine from PAECO. they can build a honda 1.6 to produce 242 HP N/A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dd_biggy Posted November 2, 2002 Author Share Posted November 2, 2002 if you have the money get an engine from PAECO.they can build a honda 1.6 to produce 242 HP N/A that's some impressive numbers, 1.6 n/a at 242.... damn, wonder what they could pull w/ a 2.0 L h22 or b18c1...... ordered a catalog, probably not going to be doing a lot to the engine until spring, too much snow and ice on the ground to really make it worth screwing with right now... i guess that gives me a little time to save up some money... w00t thanks for the tip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest that1chrisguy Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 I dont know anything about the Sir motors.. I'm sticking with my b16a idea... 160 is plently stock for me.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dd_biggy Posted November 2, 2002 Author Share Posted November 2, 2002 I dont know anything about the Sir motors.. I'm sticking with my b16a idea... 160 is plently stock for me.. the siR engines are basically the generations of the b16a engines, i.e. 88-91 b16a is the first gen. siR, and from 92-95(?) is the siRII. pretty sure that's the correct years... anyways, just to kinda help you out, someone correct me if i'm wrong. ~on a side note, what is the real diff. in the civic si and the ex, lx, or dx besides engine strength?

Guest that1chrisguy Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 thanks, SiR, here i come :) and with the DX etc, lol, I've only noticed creature comforts besides engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dd_biggy Posted November 3, 2002 Author Share Posted November 3, 2002 omfg, sign my ass up for training at paeco !!! how are you catching all these numbers man? i couldn't find anything but how to order a catalog online...... your technical knowledge of cars is breeding the question, "what do you drive, Overboost?"
