I just bought a 2000 civic ex coupe 5 speed, but want to change the motor whats the main difference between the 2000 civic si motor and the B16B civic type R and which one should i get?

 

higher compresion for the type r and more HP over all a lot better engine since its a JDM not USDM. if you have the $$ go for the type r. for example i used to have a usdm b18c1 and it was nice , then i swapped it for a JDM b18c and its even nicer , feels a lot better and responds a lot better that the USDM engine

should i get a b18c over the si and juss save the money that i would of spent on a b16c civic type r engine. and if i get a b18c which 1 should i get ??

 

i think u sould get a jdm b18c its cheaper than the type r and a lot better engine

 

wats the price difference between the b18c and the 2000 honda civic si engine cuz i wanna spend about 2k and how much would it cost to have it professionally installed?

 

quick question could you put the B16Bengine into an 05 ex or is it to big?

 

The engine in the 2000 honda civic si is a B16A2. I doubt you'd be able to get a b18c for any less than $3k. I can't answer your question about the labor costs.

For 2k, you may barely have enough for a b16 swap if you get a great deal on everything you need and do it yourself. Just save your money for now. From what people say on these forums, I gather the b16 doesn't offer that much power anyways.

 

my other friend said he will sell me a b16 civic type r engine for 2k should i do that instead of the b16a2???
