Hey guys ive got a 1993 civic gli sedan, not sure what it is exactly but its the 1.5 non-vtec motor pic below.

Basically the engine is not cutting it for me anymore and i want to replace it with a vtec. The engine i have in mind is a B18C2 from a Integra and i was wandering if it would be able to fit into my Civic. I plan on buying the whole front cut from the intergra incl ecu.
Thanks upfront. :)

I'm just wondering how is the weight going to affect your swap? Is that going to be a race car?

Weight really should not matter. Although it will probably weigh a couple hundred kilos more but nothing that you will notice. The horsepower will make up for the difference

The whole B-series engine and gearbox doesn't weigh a couple of hundred kg. The difference won't be more than ~35kg.
