engine conversion

[GTRboy]

Hi guys, Im here to ask you sumthin, I currently drive a 91 honda Civic and have almost done it up mostly over a year or so, but the last thing i wanted to do is put another engine a more powerful one in, So wat i am saying is wat can i put in and wat cant i put in? and also any good cheap peple to fit it for me, Any offers please pm or just reply with them, and if you can help me with drive in, drive out service over a couple of days, its currenlty a 1.5l so anything bigger would be greater, and preferably non turbo but if good price will look at it.

Thanks guys

um... shouldn't u b askin this on a honda forum? coz its close to impossible and financially retarded to swap anything but a honda engine into your car.

If i were you i'd look at putting a BA16a (or B16a i think it was called) engine. Its a common swap for many swaps, and the engine you can import from japan (or buy a 1988 CRX with one in it and bring the car down, swap your engine into it and sell the car).

As for costs... hehe how much have you got? Its not cheap.

try the VTEC engine from an EG6... very strong and durable..

The ultimate NA setup is the Honda CRV bottom end with the Vtec head off the 1.8L Integra.

Im pretty sure its the 1.8L head, may be the 2.2 or 1.6L head, but one of the Vtec heads bolts on, and the conversion has been done before.

yep, my mate has a CRV block (2.2L) waiting to go into his DC2 Type-R with the 1.8L head.

Should be a rocket N/A!

In my opinion, I think you are asking on the wrong forum. The best engine to transplant into a 91 civic is a 454 chev big block 'plug & play' package. It will bolt straight in on the standard engine mounts and will mate up to your standard gearbox without the need for a custom bellhousing. It should take you less than 3 hours to do all the work yourself. The tools required for the job are (1) shifting spanner (2) phillips head screwdriver (3) flat blade screwdriver (4) big hammer (5) small hammer (6) band-aids (7) jack (8) KY jelly (9) 9 volt battery (10) goat (11) jumper leads (12) nipple clamps. A step by step guide to the conversion is available at www.noidea.net complete with pictures.

LOL

Maybe a FWD SR20DET (maybe not available, but I know CA18DETs are) or SR20VE. Both are pretty good engines. Personally I'd sell the Honda and buy a Nissan, but that's just me.

the hardest bit of a honda engine swap is getting it back out of your basement afterwards
