i just blew my pistons of my 99 civic si and its goin to cost roughly 2000 to fix it, and i was just deciding too just do a swap, someone told me to get the gsr block and put my old engine heads on it, but any other engine suggestion that i could fit into my car? someone please list me, i am so sad =(

 

That sucks man. Heres some info on possible swaps....http://www.hondahookup.com/info/engine_swap_faq.php

 

How much are you looking to spend? Youve got tons of options.

 

somewhere around 2500$ , im thinking of gettin the b16a2 2nd gen si-R, i think that is what it is, im a newbie =(, but it shows 10 more horsepower then my orginal b16a2, but i was thinkin of gsr swaps and such, but i dont know the final price with all the labor and mounts and stuff...

 

thanks man, great help!

 

man, if you've got a b16 head then do a homemade type R build up.

get a GSR block and slap the b16 head on it, then get some aftermarket type R cams, new valve springs and retainers, hotter cams, port and a polish and you'll be screaming down the highway in no time.

you just need some money and a little bit of elbow grease.
