OK so ive got a 97 civic HX it has the D16 SOHC non vtec, 5spd trans
raised in a family that knew nothing about cars now im moved out and am really getting into my car. I've looked around a bit and I have my mind set on a B18 turned B20 and (none picked out yet) all new internals, turbo (some where around 25lbs and yes will build the engine to take that much) stage1 clutch short throw shifter and the list goes on... have 4 questions
1) how hard is this, I do have a a couple friends to help me (2 that have built the car they drive) but noone has done this swap and anyone who has done it before please anything would help at this point
2) what B18 model has the best block to build off of, i assume that the blocks are all the same but i want to try and think of everything
3) to those who have done this, what all is really needed to do the swap to begin with (all my other mods will have to come later this will be a long term project car (have a 5mo. old and school bills)) will it mount to my civic trans? will it really match the engine mounts? did you have to bend anything?
4) I kinda want to do twin intake, no reason really but just want to anyone know of any premade twin intake kits if so where and how much?
Thanks
