Swap.
Although repping a D series would be cooler.

i have a 4 dr 98 civic with a y7wit autook so i was wondering if i could reach 200 hp with a superchargerand withstock internals. or would it be easier to swap to a b18b and reach it with this swap?? im tryin to make it as simple as possible and be able to pass emissions here in cali. any ideas or possibilities?? thanks

i dont know about 200 sc whp on your d with stock internals but definatly doable with some internal modification....might want to look into a turbo...a fewpeople here have 200+ hp d turbo set ups

k i just barely bought a 1989 civic hatchback.. the pistons in it are messed. So i talked to the guy who owned it. He said do a mini me swap. I kinda get the basics on with the whole v-tech. Is it worth the money for the power upgrade. Also what would be the best way of going about it?

watch your step kid............
200whp on a D is defintely possible, but idk about stock internals. Sov is runnin 210whp i think on his y8, but that things totally rebuilt.I dont think 200whp on neither a D or a B is really safe with stock internals, you might have to rebuild on both.
To keep it simple, i say rebuild your y7 and turbo it, i think it'd be simpler than finding a new engine, getting all the mounts/shift linkage/etc. of the swap. The y7 has potential, just no VTEC, which sucks [&:]
