whats up guys
i have aquired a 88 civic EF hatch and have been doing my research here and there and being some what new to this (honda family) i really would like to build a reliable fast daily driver that i can even take to my local autoX. i had owned and sold my 2007 Honda Fit that was fun to drive and great contender when i was autoX'ing it.
i really like the small 1.5 SOHC, and the 1.6 DOHC that honda offers. here is an article i read about the D15B VTEC engine: D15B 1.5l SOHC VTEC i really liked reading up on this cause i am very fond of SOHC motors. what my question is which would likely be the easier swap for me. i am diving into this with a friend of mine and with my budget i want to get a motor that will perform well and can take a beating. I have read all about the "mini me" here and in honda-tech forum. that to me sounds like a direction to go to.
And when it comes to the B16 swap is the B16A the easiest one for my here. i bought the vehicle with hasport mounts for a B16 swap. I just want a motor like i said that will perform well.
i am not looking to better my E.T. cause i am more for autoX. you know 130-150HP range.
any advice will help.
one thing i like in the Honda world is that there are many swaps out and i know there is one that will fit my need.
Also which is better for my need the D16Y8 or the D16Z6? will that be an easy swap?
