i found a b series engine

k i found a b series engine its a b16b for a civic type r. its from jdm and is 3450 would that be a good choice for my 97 civic ex here is the web address http://www.torontojdm.com/lite/cart.php?target=product&product_id=3292&category_id=120 just wanting to know if it would be worth doing the work or if i should go with a different engine

So it's "from JDM" huh? Well shit, it must be good stuff then!

Anyway, this section of the forum is for questions regarding 2001+ Civics, so I'm moving this thread to the correct forum for you...

k ty lol wasnt sure where to post it and yea completely built by jdm im just waiting on purchising it cause i want to make sure it will be good to build from for a riping civic lol was going to do the h22 but dont want to do all the modifications and renforcing the front suspension

I would stick with the d series, they are cheaper to replace, since it seems you like to blow up engines. Doesnt matter what engine you have, if you dont know how to drive, they will all blow up. Its actually somewhat difficult to blow an engine. How did this happen?

 

[sjmccullough2009]

iv never blew up one i got the car off a family member he has blown up 2 engines how i do not know lol and the car came with an engine and he told me the bottom end was good but the cam chewed up the head so i replaced the head but he didnt tell me he stripped out a bolt hole for the head in the block and im just tired of driving around sohcs i had a b18 dohc im my old integra and want that feeling back again the car is a project thats the only reason i bought it

If you have time and more importantly money you would like to invest into your project, go K20a. K stands for, killer motor. There is none better, in my opinion.
