hey whats up i recently got a 97 civic ex 2dr as a hooptey and kinda fell in love with it ,now i wanna hook it up i already changed all the exterior lights put in a full cat back , added tints and an aem intake now i plan to get a kit ,rims vertical doors and a paint job after that i would like to work on the engine i saw this : {F20C 2.0 16V DOHC VTEC PGM-FI 1997 240hp@8300rpm 153tq@7500rpm '00-'02 S2000} and i wonder is it possible to install this engine in my civic and what would be the price to purchase it also what mods would need to be made in order for it to work properly.


i would welcome any suggestions as to engine ,turbo,fuel rails etc.. also would like to change interior

please help!

 

That is the S2000 engine. With enough money anything is possible but the benefits of putting it in are far outweighed by the price and the extreme amount of custom fabrication to get a RWD motor into a FWD car. I would swap a B18C in there and turbo it. That setup would have you running circles around the S2000 all day.

If you take a look at my car, I kept it looking stock because I love sleepers. I wouldn't focus so much on the exterior as I would on what is under the hood. Leave the body kit and doors for last when you can actually prove the car is as fast as it looks.

 

thanks input taken how much would the B18C in there and turbo aprox cost? and how much hp would it put out?

 

also i kow im asking alot but could you give me a list of shit to do to this car to make it faster i mean a real list like part by part? thanks!

 

You're asking too much, research! This website is great for that.


And as for the price for a B18C turbo, a WHOOLLLEEEE lot cheaper then an F20C rwd conversion.

 

which one would be better

B18C 1.8 16V DOHC VTEC PGM-FI 1797 178hp@7600rpm 129@6200rpm '95-'97 Integra SiR (JDM)

B18C1 1.8 16V DOHC VTEC PGM-FI 1797 170hp@7600rpm 128tq@6200rpm '94-'01 Integra GS-R

B18C5 1.8 16V DOHC VTEC PGM-FI 1797 195hp@7800rpm 130tq@7600rpm '98-'01 Integra Type-R (JDM)



By the way arent i researching?

 

asking questions is good. asking redundent questions that have been beat to death, then beaten again, gets old quick. so in the future do some searchs before you ask a question. chances are its already been asked and answered.

to answer your question, get the one in the middle.

 

Depends on what you are doing to it. Search and you will find.

 

why the one in the middle?

 

It is the most versatile because the compression makes it good for turbo as well as all motor applications with plenty of aftermarket support and high power output.
