yes its possible, but there are more practical options around...

[J2daW]

yeah i thought so. just window shopping, you know. i just found a bargain motor for $2000 probly sold by now but. How much easier for a b18c?

[ECU-MAN]

shit loads easier

[J2daW]

friend tried the h22a swap has to keep doing his cv's.

How much easier for a b18c?
As much easier as walking across the street is compared to running a marathon.

HAHA

pretty much an S2000 runs a North/south (RWD) engine configuration, where as your eg civic runs a east/west configuration

the B18C (as seen in DC2 integras) also run a east/west configuration, which explains saxmans above post

[ECU-MAN]

still very posible


here are some pics of a ledgend V6 in a EG

anything is possible, just aslong as you have alot of money and time.

the s2000 engine is an inline 4 motor though

and from memory i heard the gearbox in the s2000 pretty much sits between the drive and the passenger in the cabin.

so would it be possible to mount the engine and box sideways in an eg engine bay?

[chicken8]

ok just saw the pictures

the gearbox is mounted pretty fricken far back

i'm leaning towards "possible" now

Yeh a B16A or B18C will be the best way to go. A K-series swap may cost more than what the car is worth..


Although the 96kw D16A8 ZC goes hard when in good condition, recondition it and add a small turbo ftw, that may work out cheaper than a complete engine swap...

[IZY-10]

not worth it. I've seen it done not sure on which forum ozhonda or honda-tech. The guy i'm pretty sure only ran a 14.2 with all his sound equipment in the car. Personally your better off going the b18c better fit and much cheaper

[VTi_b0i]

k20 FTW lol

[chicken8]

14.2 only?

thats slower than a stock s2000
