Hi guys,
I'm new in general to Civic and such and I'm looking at putting together my own project. I have the knowledge needed to accomplish the task, but I need some help making sure that I get the correct parts that I need.
I am looking at a 1993 Civic EX that has a 1.5L 4cyl with a TON of miles on it, so it's fairly cheap. The body is straight, has a sunroof, and is in really nice condition which is why I'm looking at it for a project.
Now, according to the Engine Swaps 101 article on here, I see the B16A2/3:
"1. B16A2/3: Completely bolt-in Swap, VTEC needs to be wired, SIR II, Hasport shift linkage. Del Sol VTEC for the del sol"
And the
"4. B18C1: Completely bolt-in swap, VTEC needs to be wired."
Both of those engines are in the 160-170hp range, which is around what I would like.
I'm looking for advice one which one would be an easier swap into a '93 Civic, Possibly what extras I would need to have (the B16A2/3 mentioned SIRII, Hasport shift linkage, ect.), and maybe a recommendation for a site that sells engines at a good price (I've found a few, just wondering if you guys know of some good ones). Will I need to change anything like the Transmission? (I believe this car already has one less than a year old in it)
Thanks a lot for your help. I know I'm a complete newbie, but I'm intereted in this and I'd appreciate any help/advice. ^_^
