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.

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.

    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
    • Assuming that they will come off without damage at all.... i would have thought just pull straight up off the spindle with a something or other than can reach underneath. Have you searched for youtube vids of people doing similar on R34s or any other Nissan from the same vintage? They should be the same technique, in all likelihhood.
    • Keeping in mind that sandblasting is really aggressive on softer metals like cast alloy, and you can do damage that you might regret. For trash wheels, not a problem. For wheels with value/scarcity issues, etc.... perhaps a less aggressive media is a better choice?
