Great thread, I was actually thinking the same as honda_boy911. I have about 6k and no car yet, but I have a hold on this 93 Civic EX with over 200k miles for 3k. Those have the D16Z6 engine in it. Because of the miles and not knowing if it was rebuilt I was thinking about just swapping with B18c1, but I'm only looking for a DD with 250hp (I currently drive a 06 Altima with 3.5 v6 w/ 270hp). The car already has a black cat exhaust, so one less thing I have to replace and the interior is extremely clean like it was redone.
Should there be any concern about the stock tranny? Can you split out the parts list for a DYI turbo kit or is there another thread with that info? Putting 250hp into a civic is there much concern about the suspension?
I was also thinking about getting the swap anyways and setting the D16Z6 aside to rebuild it as a spare. Another thing to think about is you can always sell that D16Z6 motor and recoop some of the cost of getting a B16 or B18c1 especially if you rebuild it before hand. Some needy person will come along after boosting their stock motor to 15psi or more.
