So, I have a 1992 Honda Civic CX hatchback that's bone stock. I'd like to look into doing an engine swap. Since my car is all stock, I have the original D15B8 that unfortunately only puts out about 70 HP. I would like to build something able to put out around 200 HP. I know there are alot of options for engine swaps so I'd like to be able to know what works well and what doesn't. Also, any thoughts on turbocharging the original D15B8?? Any ideas or comments would help. Thanks

JDM H22a. 200whp with a nice exhaust manifold, 2.5-3" exhaust, and a 3" intake going to a 68-70mm TB with some tuning will get you to 200 whp no problem. I am currently sitting at 195 whp/165 wtq.

Otherwise, You could turbo the current motor you have. Costs for a decent turbo set up and tuning will run you about the same amount as the swap I would think. I spent about 3k (maybe closer to 4k since I went with higher end stuff) on my swap.

 

Is the h22a directly compatible. Like drop in and bolt it up or will i need a mounting kit?

 

Research the swap.
