hey guys, had a quick question. Im buying a nice 95 civic dx for pretty cheap. Only problem is the miles is about 150k. its a good idea to swap it, but i havent a clue. I was looking for a nice vtec engine maybe a b16a2, something not that expensive since i have only 1500 to spend on this, any suggestions?


-thanks

as much as i hate saying this you can only afford the b16 package if your welling to spend 1500. get another g then you can the b16a2 good choice tho and welcome to hcf

 

thanks for the welcome, yeah i guess its best if i save up another grand. Another question, how much would swapping cost, done my a professional, anyone know the rates?

 

if you know any thing about Honda's, 150k isn't that much. If it was reguarly maintained, oil changes etc, you should go 250-300k easy. Put more miles on the motor, and save up some more for the future swap, and maybe even a turbo

 

500-1000. unless your in sacramento, then i can beat that price.

 

what you guys think about putting a b18b, instead of a b16a..im looking at it towards money wise. its not vtec but still has potential
