I just need a little, help, which swap will be the easiest, overall? I have a pretty much bone stock 2000 EX with the D16y8. I want to swap my motor with something more powerful, maybe a B16, or B18, I would think the B16 out of a SI would be easiest since honda actually makes it that way, how much harder would a B18 or B20 be? To help, I used to have a 91 NSX, (totaled) and I would like my civic to be as fast or faster. (my best time was a 13.6 1/4) Any help is appreciated. Also if you know where I can buy an engine at a good price I'd love to know. Thanks again.

 

The easiest would be a taking a si b16a out of a si and dropping it in your car. It would already have ek mounts and wiring harness. I would save for a 1.8l vtec motor, either the b18c1 or even a b18c5. B16's are gutless. Using an integra motor you will need a si rear L bracket and put the d series timing belt mount on the b series motor. You will also need to change the wiring harness. These swaps are all very common and there is tons of information if you search for it.

 

why you gotta be dissin on the b16a...
:cry: :fawk:

 

Sorry...its just um.....yeah. :fawk:

 

Thanks for the help txhatch, I'll look into it further.
