Default Honda EK9 Civic Type-R Motor Swap

Alright i have a 95 civic and i was interested in getting a type-r engine swap in my car but the car im getting it out of is right side drive and i was wondering if i would need to make my car right side drive as well to use it or if it would be fine with regular side drive. I would appreciate it.

the b16b is the most overrated swap in the history of history...IMO it beats out the b16a.

If you have the money for it and thats what you want I say go for it. A B16B is a very rare and beautiful thing. Not forgetting its the engine out of the last 'real' ctr, and the most powerful N/A engine for it's size ever put into a production car (although I did read somewhere about some mental 1.6 N/A jdm Nissan engine that make's 190bhp!) which make's it very special
In terms of building a more powerful B18 for less money then yeah it seem's a waste, But its not always about that.

if you wanna do it just to say you swapped a CTR engine in then go for it...but you can get a bigger...better...more tunable engine for cheaper.
