hey guys not sure if this is the right thread so sorry if it isnt. im looking to buy a new engine for my 94 eg 4dr sedan civic and just wondering what kinda engines would fit into the car without any problems? if its possible to put other engines from other hondas? thanks guys
Have a search around buddy... you'll find plenty of info on here about different engine swaps been done...
short answer is if you have the money... you could swap whatever honda motor you want into it...
but to be more practical... another efi motor from a civic, crx or integra would be fine... aslong as the motor was built after the year your car was built!
plus... a swap without problems depends on your mechanical skills... any swap could be easy if you know what your doing!
hope that helps!
with money you can put any engine into the car. what are your goals? daily safe driver? track monster? etc etc.
as said, have a search. there is so many threads on here about it its not funny.
just to get you started, theres the sticky:
Motor Change Guide for EG
how much are you looking to spend though?
before you start giving people advice make sure you know your shit firstQuote:

anything is possible if u have money... legalities and problems are also likely to occur :P haha
basically to answer your questions first im just looking to add a little more power or even an engine which can be easily turbo'd later on down the track not sure on how much engines cost and installation so maybe just around 3500/4000?
what EG sedan do you have now ?
GL, Si, VTi ?
pretty sure its either a gli or gl
have you got a pic of your engine bay ? or know your vin number ?
vin number starts with jhmeg ( not sure if u wanted the numbers ) and the engine no is d15b followed by numbers
vin number is jhmeg ( not sure if u want the numbers ) and the engine no begins with d15b
so with any decent swap... will have to convert to fuel injected... add a little more cash for that!
d15b4 ? what's the number after the b ?Quote:

if you blow it, it's cheaper to replace a d-series engine compared to a b or even a k
you won't need to convert it to EFI, as it's already equipped..
if you do get more power, what you should look into, is getting your rear drums replaced with discs, and get bigger front brakes..
but if you insist in doing an engine conversion..
b-series engines would be one of the easiest to do..
compared to other engines.. e.g. k-series engines
but replacing the d with a d-series vtec would be the easiest..
but you'll still have to rewire your car for vtec..
so you still have a bit to mess around with..
but as i suggested before, just boost it.. bang for buck..
ok if i look to boost my car, what should i be looking at getting? and what kinda work am i looking at and price?
and where could i possibly get one as no hondas come stock turbo so ive been told that i would have to modify a manifold intake? and also what turbo's would be the eaister/cheapest and best for my engine?
help anyone??

engine swaps are for girls.
you're lucky to already have the best engine ever produced by man kind - the d-series!
All you need to do now is Turbo the sucker and NO ONE on this planet will be able to beat you!
sucks for people like me on their Ps, turbo is so outta the picture :(
