chris_agu28 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 It all depends on your budget, I say get a h22 from a prelude, The "big" block from honda. it is torquey motor that is a 2.2 liter making about 200hp and 163 lbs But that is me. I like the phrase there is no replacement for displacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lceah Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 b18>b16 imo...why not start off with something bigger...0.2 bigger... passwordjdm is good/reputable... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_agu28 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 The b16 is not too bad, it can still get up and go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkm345 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 wells the b16 has more torque thens the b18c but the b18c has more top end power, or else u can just go ls-vtec or cr-vtec..it all gots power and go, some just has more then others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex37211 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Man, there are literally thousands of threads concerning the pros and cons of different motor swaps for civics. Of course it depends on how fast you wanna go and how much $$$ you wanna spend. If your just looking for opinions, I say B18c is a good middle-of-the-road swap. It's a good bit easier than the h22, but not quite as powerful. I like b20's too. If you want cheap, b18b or even d16z6. Less power, but less money too. It's a trade-off. If you got money out the wazoo, K-series is the shiznizzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 wells the b16 has more torque thens the b18c but the b18c has more top end power, or else u can just go ls-vtec or cr-vtec..it all gots power and go, some just has more then others Uh, no. You have that WAAAAAAY WRONG. A b16 makes about as much torque as a bolt on d-series motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben. Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 K20 swap in an EF wouldn't be too hard. You wouldn't need to boost it either as you'd be well into the 13's and probably cutting close to 12's with just the bolt on's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_agu28 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 That k20 I would like to have in EG del sol but it is might expensive but I already bought a h22 so I figure I would work with that then find a stock k20 and start a k20 del sol.
