7th gen...gli

[fki11a]

ummm forgive me for being so stubborn

but....would any other civic engines fit on 7th gen civic sedan???

yes,
you can put pretty much whatever you want,
depending on how much money you are willing to put out,
but with the Bseries motor , it wouldnt look as nice in your engine bay because ur car is big, IMO if ur willing for fork out some money + the GO POWER go for either, K20A from the DC5R, or the K24A or why not go the best of both worlds and get a hybrid, k24a block with a k20a head..

hope that helps

thanks very much for the help!

im still deciding what to do,,,,

imo for the money spent on engine swaps, id rather buy dezodz t3/4 turbo kit. cheaper and a lot of good feedback on the product is available on 7thgencivic

what is the point of a turbo kit installed when his internals are completley stock,
thrashing that car around for 2 weeks running on 8psi max would fry ur motor completley.

in the long run turbos will eat ur motor alive,
it is up to him to do what he wants by all means but at least tell the guy what the consequences are b4 he goes out and turbo charges his car.

it wont be as easy as just taking the exhaust manifold off and bolting on the turbo manifold , you need a new computer, drill holes for oil lines all so messy, its alot more complexed then just doing a simple conversion which you will just buy the half cut and install, in the long run will save you more cash, less problems occuring etc.

there are kits made for stock engines, which are as reliable as having an na engine..

as with an engine conversion.. you'll need a new ecu, possibly new harness, maybe buying new mounts.. etc.

i'd find that you'd have to spend more cash for an engine conversion..
you'll get more power for the same money from a turbo kit, you'll be able to resell the car easier (just take the turbo kit off) rather than having to sell a converted car.. and just as many problems can occur with an engine conversion as with turbo.. it all depends on who does it.

yes you would most probably have to get new engine mounts but , ecu and wiring should come with the halfcut. unless i am the only person in au that can get it ( being sarcastic )

even tho its is made for a standard car with no internals
u thrash it for less then 1 month and i guaruntee u will fry ur motor regardless,

i have heard of some storys from a good friends workshop, where stupid teenage kids think just throwing a turbo kit at a car will gain HP. and not think ahead about whats going to happen if u thrash ur car every day

in the end he came back 1 week and a few days later
saying theres oil all over the place,

had a check and the motor .. :wave: bye. bye..

with the sale of the converted engines YES, it would be a bit harder to sell
but u can keep that car for many years to come.

i was just stating that if it were me i would go with a turbo path simply due to the costs. :p and the dezod kit has had heaps of good feedback with no blown motors as yet lols.

to the thread starter, you should read this link, it will tell you everything you need to know about turbo vs swap for your 7th gen.
