Try searching this forum for your answers. This topic gets asked probably once every few weeks and has been covered at least five times I know of off-hand.

"How fast do you want to spend?"

of course if you put more money into the Civic engine, it'll be faster--you've put more money into it.

Not if you put the same amount of money into both engines :icon16:

*shoots all of you.. especially MLE*

Ok.. the civic Si engine is a b16... and the DOHC VTEC Sol engine is.. *gasp* A b16! *dies*

You need to do a LOT more research before you TOUCH the idea of swapping an engine, and DEFINITELY get a shop to do it... don't destroy a sol trying to do it yourself.

And now that I can, I'm gonna have to agree with Jon. Randomracer... search around not just this site, but also yahoo/google, and the Team Sol International site. If after that you still can't find the info you need, then come back and ask the question again.
