xxscaxx Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 b18b, b18c1. b18b is a cheap swap but imo lacks power, but is good for f/i. b18c1 is what most people will tell you but is kinda on the more expensive side. you can get a b16a and turbo that like i did. no matter what engine you decide on, your going to be spending a good amount of money, especially if you want to go forced induction, so keep that in mind. i spent 2550 for the full swap b16a SiR II swap from hmotorsonline, and then the turbo cost me about 1300 (piece it together if you go that route). and i still have to upgrade my injectors, and fuel pump and get new exhaust, plus something to run the injectors. and thats just basic. im going to be building my motor so ill be spending a good amount, but just for the basics its still not cheap. so just keep that in mind.

..SSR.. Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Civic EX transmission (take .7 off your 1/4 mile time). Turbo kit for an EX. The HX head has the roller cam and makes lots of power on the topend. If you do swap, sell me the HX head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
