new engine
 

Hey everyone proud new owner of a 94 civic and was looking to get some power out of it but i have heard that swapping the engine to a more powerful one is not that hard, just wondering which engine would be best and can still bolt up to my manual tranny, thanks guys.

RE: new engine
 

what engine/car/model/year do you have right now?

RE: new engine

There is a lot of good info here

Looks like good info but not sure how to read it lol. do you know which engine will bolt to a stock 94 manual tranny?

RE: new engine
 

lets see if i can help you with reading that page

your 94 civic presumably falls into this category (assuming you have a US market car instead of a Japanese domestic):

5G ’92-’95 Civic Si USA EG/EH D16Z6 1590 9.2:1 125hp@6600/106lb-ft@5200

So your car's Chassis number starts with either the EG or the EH. Your engine is a D16Z6. It produces 125 peak (brake) horsepower and 106 ft-lbs peak torque. These two numbers are what you'd want to compare with other engines to get a measure of what sort of change you'd see.

I *THINK* that any D series engine will bolt up to (almost) any other D series transmission. You should wait for someone to verify this or shoot me down before you go out to buy your parts though :D If that's indeed the case, then you could drop almost any D series engine into your chassis, bolt it down, and you'd be good to go.

so would there be anyway for a h22a to fit in and bolt down?

RE: new engine
 

it looks like it's possible, but it won't be an easy swap. You'll have to do more research to find out what you need to do

RE: new engine
 

yeah but it's a lot of work. The B-series engines are an easier swap, you'd need a B-series transmission though.
