EK Swaps - motor swaps?

What do u think is the best motor swap for a 98 4dr lx? How much should i be looking foward to paying?

B18 or B16 if you want my opinion. Will run around $3000 - $4000. Depends on mileage and condition??

Thanks for the info. Do u think either will mount up or will i have to do some mods? what do u think about the b20 or the h22 or 23?

the b16a2 or 3, b16b, the b18b, b18c1 or 5, and the b20b or z, will all basically drop into your car with the proper mounts. give hasport a call @602.470.0065 , they are awesome for info. regardless of which motor you choose, youll need a hydrolic transmission. go with something OBD2 for less hassle. where do you live? is smog legality an issue? and what are your plans for your car?

you might need a few harnesses, but they are pretty cheap and not a big deal.

i live in alabama so theres no smog really just a hole lot of humidity. Well i plan on making my civic a show car. I have a body kit on the way r34 front, evo rear, and boxer z1 sides. I will probably hold off putting it on until i get my carbon fiber hood, trunk, and mirrors so then i will get my car painted. But i have plenty more ideas so i dunno yet. Does anyone knoe abot the new gen Frankenstien motor swap and if i could get it? Its a K24 block/K20A head.

Hasport (http://www.hasport.com/Products/Mount%20Kits/Mount%20EKK1.htm) has done the swap and has what you'll need to mount it. Maybe you should check this out (http://sportcompactcarweb.com/features/0407scc_hassportcivic/).....;)

if you have to have a 2.4L I-VTEC, go with the TSX motor. the piston speeds in the k24 from a crv at 8000+ RPM will send pistons flying through your hood. you could always build it, but you're getting pretty deep into the 5-digit range already.

The usdm 98 lx is gonna have the d16y7 sohc 1.6 which needs as much help as it can get.......[&:]

The k swap will not be cheap.

THANX FOR THE INFO. DO YAW HAVE ANY IDEA WHERE I COULD MAYBE GET SOME INFO. ABOUT A 98-01 B18A TYPE R. WHAT KIND OF TRANNY SHOULD I GET I WERE TO GET IT. HOW MUCH IS IT TO SWAP A AUTOMATIC TRANNY TO A STANDARD?

Which is why I recommend a 99-00 Si b16a2, a 94-01 GSR b18c1, or the 97-01 ITR b18c5. Either those or you could rummage through www.hmotorsonline.com for JDM motors.

But it also depends on waht he plans on doing to it. Turbo? NA? track car? autocrosser?

turbo/track car do a b16a2 or a b18c1, for NA/autoX go with the 97,98,00,01 ITR b18c5

Also: as I stated unknowingly, the ITR doesn't have a b18a, it has a b18c series motor. go to the link and you can get a JDM b18c Type R motor

IMO id go after the b20 just for that added tq to get your 4dr moving. although i have seen some fast sohc turbo 4drs. actually saw one whoop on a b18c in a crx.
