B16A on 2k5 civics 4dr
as far as we know, D17 engine for 2k5's civics are not impressive in regards for power, is that possible to put a B16A (I prefer B16A coz 1.6 DOHC VTEC) on the 2k5's civics (4dr) and if yes, which stuff do i need. thanks.

i saw a guy at the track and he had a type s with basic bolt-ons that he drove to the track from LA, bolted on slicks and skinnies and hit twelves.And i was talking with the head engine builder at Comptech and he said the k-series was the future of Hondas. they are just better than the b-series. and i say this as a person who has/loves a hybrid civic.

the piston speeds would obliterate that motor in a matter of seconds. the stroke is too long to handle an 8k redline. its possible with a full build, Skunk2 did it, but i dont have as much money as they do, i dont know about anyone else...

The current K series motors are without a doubt the future of Honda technology. There are really three options when doing a K series swap.
1) Go with the K20A2- Go all motor.
2) Go with the K20A3- Use its low compression for boost.
3) Go with a K24 block and top it with a head from the K20A2- CRVTEC has been done before. Youll have a torque monster but you will have to give up some in the top end.
What you do depends alot on what you plan on doing with the car. Is it your daily driver? What racing (auto-x, road racing, drag racing) do you plan on doing with the car? Some sites that might be able to help you are 7thgencivic.com and hybridracing.com.
