What engine conversion should i do?

[Perry]

I've been hearing about different engine swaps but dont know which engine would be the best choice for a EK civic

[[[d a n n y]]]

EK?

u put in a b16a it will go fast as a EK4 aka VITR
then u can put in a b18c (teg VTIR)
or u can put in the b16b (Civic Type R) and make ur own CTR
B18c5,B18c7 (JDM&AuDM ITR engines)
your car will pretty much fly.` :P
or u can get the unltimate b20/16 hybrid (CRV/VTIR)
this 1 will cost ya lot of money.
it tuned right..this 1 will kill...

lols...go the frankenstien

danny...is it true that the b20 can't really handle high revs ??

by it self no.

u need to mod the internals in order to with stand that much.

that's why it's costly

[Weq]

b18c of some sort is ur best bet.

Perry, I take it you have a CXi or GLi base model EK. Best thing for you to do is use the Search function, read through the multiple threads regarding this subject, then raise any questions you might have. That will probably be the easiest way for you to understand and choose the path you'd like to take.

hey jon...whats so funny bout what i asked ??

[MRVTEC]

the real question is how much u got to spend
@ 5000 ull get full transplant of a b16a
@8000 ull get the b16b type r
@9500 ull get the b18c type r
@11000 ull get a b20b race motor


i recon go b16a then when ur stable enuff slap on a turbo

[MTX BOY]

b18c of some sort is ur best bet.

:nod:

[EK7]

I reckon u should sell yur whatever now.... and get a Type R or VtiR....no use wasting time and money on the conversion.....Anyway, U are going to spend the same amount of money in the end

Ahh I see. There's a Hasport kit. Interesting.
That would have been a funny comment if I'd actually been after the info for myself. :?
I drive an Integra, not a Civic.
