J30A1 into my 93 civic hatch..is it worth it?

[93civicwidebody]

i just recently put a b18a1 into my 93 hatch, but i had this great idea to put a j series motor into her instead.. is it worth it? advice please

no, the 4 banger will smoke it all day long

yea i was thinkin that too, it might get a little front end heavy and restrict some power, i just figured 200hp in a widebody hatch would be serious

what's the j series motor from?

 

[LightWeightChamp]

even if the j30 made more power (im not sure if it does) thats all you will get. there is NO aftermarket support for j series not worth it at all imo

Comptech did make a supercharger and headers for it back in the day, so there was after-market for it at one point...I'm not sure what's available now though...
