Suggestions on Cheap Engines

What Engine goes hard for an EK 1 But doesn't hurt my wallet?

As far as i know you could do the mini me swap, put the 1.6 single cam vtec head on your block. Dont quote me on that though

Depends how much you got in your wallet? whats your budget.

yeah, budget is important. b16 is relatively cheap if u call $3k cheap, in and out

Is that for a New B16 or Aftermarket one?

Lol? That question there shows you need to do a lot more research before just asking questions man. start be reading up on the noob guides about engine swaps, they're very good and very useful. Cant buy a new b16 (obviously) and aftermarket? Since when is there really such a thing as an aftermarket engine?

Haha funny question aye, but we were all there I guess.

Poplular non vtec engines -
d16y4 - stock ek1 motor ~ $1,000 max
B18b - stock integra gsi motor ~ $1,500 max

vtec engines -
B16A2 - EK4 motor ~ $2,500 max
B18C2 - Dc2 Vtir ~ $3,500 max

fitting charges - depends where you get it done $1,500?

So you have a few choices, you want something that goes hard, you have to work hard to get the money (obviously). But if i were you, I'd start from searching at auctions, buy a wrecked honda ek civic that hasn't got a damaged motor. for an example, my best mate bought his 1998 Integra VTiR facelift for $2,500 from wreckers, damage was front end but engine was fine.

Hope I helped, good luck

Or H22A even

Please find me and everyone a place that will install a b16a ....running including all b series parts needed for $3k in and out.

[najdi]

go pick up a d16y8 or even d16y1 sohc vtec...fairly cheap and with the right mods they can keep upto stock b series but then again if u got the money ud prefer b series anyday

this is ozhomo, where everyone thinks getting a b16 or b18c is cheap as chips. $3k would be the engine itself, and labour is for free.
i guess this is why people never expect to get a fair price for a converted car
