i want to know what is the BEST engine i can drop in my 99 ex and potentially the MOST horsepower i can from a civic???? feedback please

 

next time try a search

but a k20 from a rsx type s will get you the most power, but also cost the most. a b series is very common so parts and engines can be fairly cheap. a h series is a road less traveled but good torque and performance options, and the engines are usually cheaper than a vtec b series, but require more parts to make the swap work

 

how much more could i get outta the k20 compared to say a b18c5 which is the typr r engine i believe?

 

n/a a typer engine can get between 210-230 whp fully built. you could be getting over 230 with just cams and a tune in a k20

 

is it the k20a2 that i should get? where can i find that for a complete swap?

 

try k20a.org great forums for info and classifieds for K-Swaps

 

i would go wit a B18c1(GS-R)....it has 185 hp..but u can turbo that bitch out!

 

B18 is the only honda motor I've seen pushed over 900 HP. K20 and H22s should be able to match that if not top it with enough work though.
