ok, i have a 95 civic 1.5..... lame i know.... but what would be the best most cappatable swap i could do, for the hp and functionality?
i want to get a turbo and stuff like that, but is my 1.5 worth it?

 

and how much hp do i have now? is it 125, i have a good exhaust and an aem intake, maybe some other minors, but im not sure....

 

will this work in my car....

B18C5 1.8 16V DOHC VTEC PGM-FI 1797 195hp@7800rpm 130tq@7600rpm 98-01 Integra Type-R

 

it is a little pricey but worth it because it has an lsd( which is always good if u race)
some that will be cheaper but still good are the b18c1, b16b, and b16a

 

yeah, and yours has 102 stock. ill give you another 10 for the mods, tops, considering the mileage.

 

If you're going for a turbo engine, I would go with a B18C1 (GSR) engine. It has a lower CR, so it won't require as serious of a reduction to adapt for the turbo. Basically, the only advantage the Type R engine (B18C5) has over the C1 (if you're planning to add a turbo) is the stock LSD. I wouldn't even consider a B16 for turbo applications (unless you plan to tear it down to a drag strip car). Plus, you'll probably save enough on the cost difference between the C5 and the C1 to pay for a turbo kit. Bottom line: Go for a GSR engine. You can always add an LSD later.

 

what does the 92 civic cx 8 valve motor have for hp, it has a cold air intake, ignition wires, pulley, and wires, and exsaust. i havent put her on the dyno though but i am curious i have taken on 16valve manuels and my hood was at there trunk and tehy wernt going nowere. so what do ya think

 

ummm, 92 hp if i remember correctly. get a 16v. even a d15b7 would be a big improvement. and a 16v will take to mods better than the 8. and you should be able to get a b7 for damn near free, then get an ex tranny and throw it all in there at the same time. it will make a huge difference in your car.

 

The stock CX is pushing 70 hp and 91 lb/ft.

 

oh yeah, its the vx running 92. my bad.
