I had asked what engine would be best to swap into a 90 civic hb. I can understand a little bit but what is ODB or whatever it was? Im new to this hookin up honda thing and i need A LOT of advice! If i get an Si tranny will i have to adjust anything to make it work correctly? or will it just work? I also wanted to know what engine would be best to put into my hb, im lookin to go for power, accel., and top speed. That narrows it down doesnt it...lol :cool:

You asked what engines would be good to swap? If you plan on swapping an engine in then forget about the lame ass Si tranny and get a new 5-speed tranny with whatever engine package you choose. ODB is old dirty bastard, OBD is on board diagnostics and it's basically what type of ecu you have. No your little staement does not narrow it down. What narrows it down is how fat your pockets are. Tell me how much green you got and I'll tell you what is the best you can get with it. Take your time and research. All your questions have been answered somewhere in here before over and over.

Alright with 2g's you can get either of the SOHC VTEC engines. The D16Z6 125hp(92-95 Civic EX) or the D16Y8 127hp(96-00 Civic EX). You might be able to get a 1st gen CRX B16A swapped in there for that much. Search for em. Goodluck

Yeah I'd go with the 1G B16A. You can get a complete swap for like 1200-1400 then you got to buy a mount kit which will be probably another 500-600.
