Please, do not take this personally. But by the sounds of this message, I highly doubt you are ready for a swap like this. Not to mention it's rare as hell, and WILL break the bank. Use the search feature, there was a threaed about this going on just yesterday

Very expesnive, not DIY, you're better off buying an S2K

Yeah, for the $12-20k you'd end up spending, you could just go out and buy a damn S2000.

Thanks boys, so what do u suggest i do 2 get my civic running amazingly quick, all i done to her is put an k+n induction kit and a cobra straight through exhaust, i'm d only girl round my area with a civic but d lads well got cars from rx7, supras, 200sx to colts, etc i want to get my civic up 2 a good standard. Give me an idea on wat 2 do n wat 2 get PLEASE.

if you wanna swap look into a USDM B18C1.

Shes from the UK, so a USDM motor would be harder to get. get an integra Dohc Vtec motor and swap that in. anything later than a 94 integra would be a great upgrade for you. if you have the money, an integra type r motor would abe a huge upgrade. its expensive though.

i vote for a DOHC V-TEC motor and a turbo

Buy a supra and a boost controller lol.

ok whatever the EDM equivalent of the B18C1 is.

If you're in the UK, pick up a civic type R motor ( B16B ) and throw that in.

^^We didnt officially get the EK CTR, (But we did get B16a2's in our EG and EK hatch's.) there are quite a few knocking around but all of them are jdm imports, same goes for integra's, we only officially got the ITR...Oh well I can live with that.

i agree. ur best bet for power and still have money in the bank is engine swap and turbo or all motor....i dont think i've seen an s2k engine in a civic yet, i'd imaging its reeeeally damn hard and some big bucks. if u got the money, time, extensive knowledge of both s2k's and civics, then i'd say give it a shot, tho it'll prolly be a long one.

b18 w/turbo. it's reliable and consistent. if you have to ask the question about the s2k swap, you probably do NOT want to even attempt it.
