swap question
had a question about engine swaps.
first off, what's the stock engine for a 95 civic coupe EX?
and 2nd question is, if I DO get a swap, what should i swap too? and how much would it run me?
just getting some more info for the future :thumbup:

Most people go with B16's or B18's (Civic SI and Integra GS-R, respectively), because it is a bolt-in job on a 95. Expect the engine to run between $1000-2000 depending on condition and origin, and labor depends on where you can find to do it for you. Of course, you could DIY...

Just use your D16Z6 for a while until you get your feet wet, and really know what engine you want. Read the forums here and search alot to decide which direction you want to go.
I wish people would stop saying that and just answer the question.... that's what I'm doing right NOW!
I don't have the money for anything expensive right now lol,
I'm just asking questions.
and people keep telling me to ask questions, yet when i do they say ask more questions and dont answer me

Stock motors suck... a swap is ALWAYS worth it in my opinion UNLESS you already have a B-series... since you're running a D series like me, go for the swap. B18c1 is what i reccomend for most power and easiest bolt in. I cant talk just yet though because my swap doesnt happen til next weekend. Also check out the b16's...
oh and to who said it.... 1000-2000, shiyat... where you get your B18C1's at?1?!?!?!?!

Aaah, so maybe 2000 is a little low for a b18c1. Closer to 2500-2700 for a good one w/ an LSD. b18c5's run what, 5k? Craziness... You can always check eBay, there's usually several. Also depends on if you want JDM or USDM.
