EK Swaps - 96 hb civic swap

I just got a 96 hb civic. I'm not sure if its a dx or cx or whatever but i know its all show and no go. Can I easily swap a b18c OBD1 94-96 gsr motor? What's the best full swap for around $3000 Or do I have to go with a OBD2 swap?

You will need to go with a 96 or newer engine, in order to pass emissions. I believe a 96 is OBD2, so you will have to go with an OBD2 swap. For the price, you can't go wrong with a B18C1. As you all know, I swear by the K20A2, but those are just a tad pricey.

*Correct me if I'm wrong, guys. You know I deal mostly in newer Civics.*

HOLY S**TBALLS! It's Se7en... Did the other guys kick you out already? ;)

Nah, you can do an OBD-I in it... but yes, an OBD-II would make emissions testing a lot easier (if you do that kind of thing...) And yes, a C1 is just about the best thing you could do for your car... And yes, a swap is under $3,000.

mwahahahaha! C1 it is, I just need to sell my 95 si now. . . .

If you have power windows/door locks...you have a CX. If you dont have power windows/door locks you have a DX. I have a 96 civic hatch DX

actually, in the US there were not any 96-00 hatches that offered power windows and locks. you have to convert them over from SI or EX gear, or order them from a JDM civic.

What? I know someone with a CX....with power, and i know he didn't power it b/c he's cheap :)

then the previous owner did. its hard to tell because it all fits perfectly, and looks stock.

Dx= rear windshield wiper
Cx= No rear windshield wiper

dx=rear top wing same color as car, AC, radio with speakers, hub caps(not steelies), rear cargo cover

cx= non of that stuff and Dotcomx is also correct...
