hey guys,

i got a honda civic vti coupe 98' and i want to do a Vtecengine swap.
What vtec engines are able 2 fit my car??

thanx Gianni

 

Any vtec engine will fit in your car. It's just how much work does each one take to put it in.

Easy swaps
-D16z6
-D16y8
-B16
-B18c

Harder swaps
-H22
-F22
-K20
-K24

"Good luck with that" swaps
-F20c
-C30a
-C32b
-J30a1
-J32a
-J35


There's a reason most people on these boards have never heard of half the engine codes from the "good luck with that" category... nobody swaps them in due to the custom work you'd have to do.

Also, I probably missed a few vtec engines... there's a lot of them

 

thanks man,

with the easy swaps wat engine will give me the most preformance and where can i find these engines?

also which 1 of these engines are the cheapest???

 

well it just depends on how big your wallet is theres different set up that will give you different power numbers at a different price how much is your budget

 

well i dont want 2 spend more that $5000, but the thing is my dads a machanic and i wont hav 2 pay 4 installation. what engine do u recomend??

 

I'd get a b16 and build it or buy it built. And if you have extra money, boost it. I'm strongly leaning towards buying a built b16 for my car(currently have a d16 with lots of miles and it's time to get rid of it, but keep the car ). I don't know how to rebuild an engine and I'm sure it'll cost a lot to get it done locally, so all I have to pay for is just taking out old engine, putting new one in.

 

what do u mean by "boost" it?? what does that invole?
i hav also been looking around for an engiine and i found a b16a at a honda rekers for $3500 + installation. good price or not?

 

boost=turbo

and the engine I was looking at is at dh-racing.com
It's the b16a2 long block for $3750 shipped. I don't know much about turbo's, but I think it may put too much wear on the engine, as it's my daily driver.

 

Just gotta shift before the turbo really kicks in. Lots to turbo DD's just depends on how you drive it.

 

well if you dad has a lot of knowledge about honda motors id prefer an ls/vtec and build it
