FWD-RACINGCIVIC Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Hey, I just bought this '98 Honda Civic Dx with a 1.6L non-VTEC in it but it is a 5spd and at only $6000CND it seemed like a good deal to me. But god knows I need more power. So my questions are: What Engine(s) can/should I swap into it? and Can it be VTEC? I have enough money for everything I've seen.

airjordan223 Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 yes you can swap in an engine with VTEC, common swaps are the b16 or the b18 gsr. what part of canada are you in? we have a member on here who just swapped in a k20 (rsx type s motor) into his civic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick B. Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 a good motor to swap in would be the b18c1 (gsr). with very few bolt on mods you can expect to have at least a 200hp car. i had one in my civic and it was tons of fun. you cant go wrong with it.

Would I be able to put the rsx motor into my civic? I like the sound of the b18c1 if not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 K-swap would be a little harder to do in the EJ8 because of the mount issues. It can be done. Just takes a little more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWD-RACINGCIVIC Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 What about the prelude engine the H22A? just over $2,000 Canadian and 200hp? Could I swap that engine into my Civic?

FWD-RACINGCIVIC Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 I guess I'm looking for a complete changeover to ensure the drivetrain will be solid, Would anyone know how long that changeover might take even for a pro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLAZZER Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 no u dont dont want an h22 they are freakin heavy and not worth the money a b16 or b18 would be a good way to ( a complete swap from my experince from a shop usally takes 1-2 weeks i guess depdnding on what exactly they need to do) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
