I have been doing my homework for my 95 Civic, and I've decided on a LS motor turbo'ed. I am wondering where I should buy my motor from? Any good reliable websites?

Also, what else do I need to purchase with the motor? Any belts, hoses,fuel system stuff, ECU, etc....?? If so, where I should purchase that stuff and about how much should it run me?

Thanks.

BTW, what kind of oil should I use in my D16 motor? I use 93 gas. I need a oil change, and want to know what to replace it with??

 

when you buy a motor swap it mainly comes with everything you need. axles, ecu, and hopefully mounts, just make sure there integra mounts. and the belts should be on there to as for hoses you might need to get a top radiator hose. also the price verys id look around salvage yards first before having to pay shipping and crap. so good luck to ya

 

Why are you using 93 octane on your D16??

 

87 is fine dood. anythin more on the stock d series is waste of money.

 

:werd:

 

I would use 87 but my d16 has been fed 93 since new. I tried using 87 so I could save money, but the car doesn't run near as well as when I use 93. Any ideas of how I can "wean" my D16 off 93 and back onto 87?
