What would be the most successful swap for a 98 civic with a stock B16A?

 

That all depends on your goals for your car and your future plans..

Be more specific of what you want out of your car.

 

More power
I want to put turbo on but I'm afraid it will blow the engine I have.
I don't know much about Vtech's can you swap a Vtech into a car that didn't use to have one? That probably is a dumb question

 

wats wrong with the b16 u got? its good to add mods for more power...

 

Adding Turbo wouldn't blow it?

 

Depends on the motor and if its built for it or if it was beat on....

how many miles?

 

For the record, there's no H in vtec

Anyway, the B16 is a great engine for boost. Do a compression check, and if all cylinders are within 10% of each other with somewhat healthy looking numbers, you should be fine, provided you don't want something crazy like 500whp. I think the b16 can hold something like 250-300whp with the stock internals.

*ninja edit: oh, and yes, you can swap a vtec engine into a non-vtec car. You just need the ecu for the vtec engine and you need to run a few wires.

 

Only about 125,800 It belonged to a lady who used it as a daily driver

 

If I were to swap out for a Vtec would there be good difference?
And how difficult are those wires to run.

 

If it is a B16, it's already vtec. Check the stamp on the block (here's what to look for) and let us know what it says. The B16 didn't come stock in USDM/CDM '98 civics.
