Basically, if you want an auto DOHC VTEC your only option is a B18C1 from an integra with an auto tranny. Am I wrong guys? Maybe there's some other one that comes with auto that I haven't come across yet. Maybe the H22?.. I don't know much about Preludes.

 

hey i got a 1996 Honda Civic EX 2 door, and i was wondering if i can change my STOCK V-TEK engine with a RSX Type R engine in my car...would that be a good choice?...will i have good performance and handleing?...

 

v-tek? thats a new one.

 

You'll have damn good performance, and only slightly hampered handling, but you'll also have a nice large debt. Putting 7G engines into anything other than 7G's is pretty rare, and costs a kidney, since the cars were pretty much completely overhauled after 6G. But it'll cook. I myself would recommend something easier and more common... B16A/B or B18B/C.

 

why get those engines?...do they have the same performance for lower cost?

 

less performance, less money, less headache. its not quite as much performance, but theyre cheaper, and will cost less to actually drop in. it takes a lot of time and patience to put a 7th gen engine into a 6th gen car...not to mention a lot of know how and a large bank acount.

B18C1 is where its at

 

i already found that engine used for3-4 k with only 55k miles on it

 

Add about $2,000 (safe guess) unless you're doing everything yourself and are getting free parts.

EDIT: Wait, you found a used B18C1 for $3k-4k? Because that's a f**king ripoff.

 

im talkin about the RSX type R

 

whats the diff between DOHC and SOHC...?
