torbs, i agree with blake on this one (EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT I AM GOING TO CHANGE MY MIND), if you can find me a b16a2 or a b18b for that cheap, with everything need to do the swap, and it has only about 35,000 miles on it, let me know ASAP. Honestly you dont think im goint to buy a b-series, put it on an engine stand, and build it this year do you? if you do you are way off. I dont plan on doing internals for a while if i even do them. Plus you get a 100% start up garantee if you order one from a respected sight over getting a junked vehicle. Plus you dont know the tru condition of a junked motor, it could have a cracked block. now do you get where im coming from?
Ah harwood I think your dreaming, time to wake up.

Like every one has said, your looking to spend around 2000 at minimum for a good b16.

I would do it, but i cant find any either. and i am NOT buying on off of ebay. Plus it has to be in great shape mechanical wise. I have found a couple that are just a longblock and need rebuilding. I dont want one of those.

  1. B16 swap for 92-95 civic requires hydro transmission. Minimum motor price around $2200 w/ trans. $2500 with LSD.
  2. Car does not require ANY aftermarket mounts.
  3. Car requires 94-up Integra axles.
  4. Car requires 94-up Integra shift linkages.

And B16s fucking suck anyways.

as i said...i dont know shit bout honda's really just general knowledge...those were gusses (however, did see a whole b18a setup for a CRX sell for like $650 on MNSC...somthin like that)

btw, i would like to find a JDM motor due to the lower miles usually and the higher power and compression numbers.

if you are serious about the b series swap, do some indepth looking, it will cost you a lot more than boosting your stock engine. not trying to steer you away from it, but it isn't cheap. personally, IF i were going to swap anything into a civic, i would find a b18c1 and leave it stock. when it comes timeto upgrade, intake, exhaust and cams will help a lot, and then n2o on top of it all will make you very quick. honda-tech has a lot of info about this stuff

My car is a long temr project and a d-series doesnt have any potential unless it is boosted. I was going to do an NA d series because it was cheap, but no power would be there. i decided instead of spending the money i would building a d i would just buy a b16 and build that in the future and be a little more patient.
