do it...the D16y8 is only like 90 sum horse at the wheel before all your mods and you are probably looking somewhere in the 120 range now. The B18c offers alot more parts, potential, and a hell of alot more durabilaty. As long as you are getting one that runs good and getting all the stuff you need to swap I would do it in a heartbeat. Yeah your uncle is getting an already modded motor...but you are getting a stock motor with more horse and a hell of alot more torque.

 

by the way good looking ride...dont know about the gold wheels...but to each his own.

 

I don't have the dyno sheet but i've seen one of a stock y8 that made 108whp. Your probably making around 115-120whp with i/h/e.

To the OP: the swap is up to you but stop typing in all caps, it makes it harder to read.

 

you're not very bright if you don't take up on that deal, and please see the forum courtesy video before you post.

 

How many miles are on the D16...and how many miles are on the B18.....cuz that would make the decison a lot easier...I WOULD DO IT IF I WAS YOU....

and Nice *** civic....LOVE the gold wheels...they look good with your car.....+1 for a clean EK

 

Real nice civic, and maybe your brother was talking about gas mileage? but if your looking for better performance yes go ahead and swap with your uncle

 

Unless you've also got a miserly moto to ride, I'd stick with a low-mile D16Y8. It's got enough power to scoot a Civic pretty well at anything resembling legal, and GAS ISN'T LIKELY TO GET MUCH CHEAPER IN THE FUTURE.

 

gas mileage won't be increadibly different from a mildly built d16 that's cammed

 

forget the gas milage it wont be that different....and besides if you are worried about gas milage you dont do modes to you civic....you might as well go buy a metro if gas milage is on your mind....but if you want better performance and a load of options to upgrade with...take the swap....the only killer for the swap would be if the b18 had alot of miles and was rode hard and put away wet. another thing....do you have some one that can do the swap or can you do it yourself? cause i would look into the cost of that if money is an issue.
