w3sty Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Last friday i blew the engine in my 1997 civic vtech.... and i was wounder what everyone thought.... would it be worth it for me to put a new engine in it... and used engine or just scrap it and buy a new car.... the car has about 116000 miles on it with new ground control coilovers, aem intake, and a few other little mods... Let me know what you think or would do in this situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBirdSucks Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 it's VTEC. I'd just do a swap. as to what engine, I don't know your goals with the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

..SSR.. Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 B16B's are a waste of money, unless you are going to race in a displacement limited class and plan on cheating and stuffing a big crank in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTskater Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 How exactly did you blow an engine? These cars are pretty reliable. Please don't tell me you've been racing with an auto transmission... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I'm guessing a spun bearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackdelsol Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 maybe you ran out of oil. when was the last time you checked it? btw, the manual switch will probably not be enjoyable. pedals and cruise and all that stuff are a pain to change over. get a b16a(2?)

nicholsm04 Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Well that sucks you blew your engine man, like was said before, I'm not sure of your goals with this car, but if you want something worth your time and money, plop a B18C5 in there, my friend dropped one in his 95 Del Sol, its wicked fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBirdSucks Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 it has become time to make my "CR-VTEC > B18C5" post, so: CR-VTEC > B18C5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
