noob
Ok im new here, lol so here we go:

Yeah so I have a piece of crap 1994 civic VX 1.5l vtec-e.
I think this is the weakest engine, lol. It was made for good MPG.
I like the body since its light as hell and what not. I think the motor is a d15z6?
But here's the deal. I want to swap the motor, and have friends that can help with this but I don't know to much about all this crap, so here is a question.
Which motor is better for the $$
B16 or B18?
and also I know theres a bunch of different motors under the 16 and 18 like b18c1 or w/e
so please people let me know what you think I should do, I only have about 1grand right now. How much do you think I can sell this motor for?
anything.
ty
 
well its gonna take another grand on top of what you have to do a motor swap to a b16 or 18 and you might can sell your stocker for a few hundred bucks. i like the b18 myself more torque.
 
What does the b18 come out of and also the b20b?
 
the only b20 thats any good comes from the honda crv, and the b18 comes from the integra

you mean crx?
the crv is a SUV lol.
and now the b18, theres a bunch like b18a1, b18b1, which one are u refering to when you say b18?
this crap confuses me.
and so i should save all of my money and not order anything for this vx engine right?

yup thats right crv suv engine b20, but i like the b18c the best and if your just gona do a motor swap dont put any more money in the vx motor
 
i see....
so people actually use the SUV motor for civic swaps? lmao, thats great.
and what does a b16 come from?
 
ok sweet, thx for that link.
my brother has a 2002 civic SI
that has a k20a3 right?
and how good are those in comparison to a b18c1
and b18 is JDM right? so its harder to get right?
and the difference between b18c and c1 is that the c1 is USDM and has 10 hp less right?

There's no way in hell that you're going to put a K20 in your car for a grand...not even close...

Shit, if a grand is all you have to spend, you're not really going to be able to afford anything besides another D-series engine...

well i can get more money, but my brother might give me his motor from his 2002 civicSI, and that is supposed to be a b16? I though it was a k20, haha
damn this shit is expensive.
Anyone know where to race for cash around here in kenosha, WI?
or chicago.
i wanna race for $$
 
correct the 2002 si ha the k20a3 in it the k series is the best motor honda makes but it will take about 3 grand to get it into your car above the cost of the motor and tranny.
 
I think you should avoid doing anything at all . if youe so uninformed . Many here would disagree with me , but the first upgrades you should do to any car Honda or not , are Brakes and suspension , all the power in the world means nothing if you can't stop or turn
 
and all the braking power and handling is useless when you have a slow ass vtec-e thats like 90HP that wont ever go above 115mph and its 0-60 in like 15 seconds.

so even if i have the motor and tranny and what not, why the hell would it be over 3g's+ the motor and tranny? holy crap!
now i feel poor.
 
you have to have alot of new custom stuff axles motor mounts shifter and linkage new fuel lines new hydro lines new radiator ext ext and new ecu

wooooowwwww
screw the k series then, umm
there is a 2002 civic SI
with 80xxx miles for $8.5k good condition,
is that fair deal?
So this is that it comes down to, B16 or B18?
and anyone, please give me pros and cons for your choiceof motor.
 
really all the braking and stopping power is useless with a low powered car. thats pretty funny , i understand you want for power trust me , my 95 came with a carburated d15 and an auto , i live in thailand , you want a good swap, b16sirII , but up grade the brakes to match ,
