If you want something fast i would go with a B-series engine. I am considering doing a swap for my 93 civic DX. Good choices are B18C1-178 HP,B18C3- 195 HP,and B18C5- 195HP. they can cost high tho. Another good alternative is the B16A-160 HP. or try using a B16 block with a B18 head. strong engine which should handle boost well. I'm in the same boat as you and am trying to do a swap. I've been doing a lot of research

 

If you feel like really going over the top, there's always the option of the K24 from the RSX Type-S, but that requires quite a bit of shopping for special parts...

...but either way having a titanic engine in a small car is always lunacy...

...and yes, I'm the Jeremy Clarkson type person that always adds "MORE POWER!!!"

 

thanks for the tips, a lot of info and research to be done. but i appreciate all the input. I wanna start a new post please check it out. i would like as many people's input as possible!

 

any other suggestions

 

anyone heard of a f23a1 swap into a civic? i think i read about a f22, but i could not find anything about f23. thanks

 

I am doing engine swap into my 93 civic lx as well, i thought Id let you know that i am going to go with a b18b block and a v-tec head off of a b16. This allows you to have a b18 v-tec with lots of power. If you want more than 200 horses than i would suggjest sleaving the block. this give alot more strength to the cylinder walls, it will be able to handle closer to the 500 horsepower range then. The v-tec head is not very hard to wire, if you want touse this headI will walk you through it. Good luck man.

 

thanks mclane, i'm still in the works of researching everything. but now i have another way to go. i'll hit u up about wiring thevtec. thanks again
