just a note- it's harder to switch out newer engines from hondas because you have to have all the evironmental stuff intact (IE OBD II, etc...) and also afaik you have to have the key cylander and sender module to get the ECU to work (antitheft etc...) may be wrong though.

if you don't even know what obd means, why are you asking about a swap? give us a break,geez, we all know you couldn't even change your own spark plugs, so why do you ask a question that you wouldn't understand the answer, no matter how simplified we tried to make it for you?

Your best bet is a '94-'97 B18C1 GSR motor if you're looking to do this swap. Your car was designed for OBD1 and the motor you're thinking of is OBD2. The swap's possible, but there's extra sensors, wiring, and a different ECU to factor in to change your car from OBD1 to OBD2. OBD is basically just an environmental system and the second generation ODB had more junk to it. The '94-'97 GSR motors are OBD1, so it'll be less of a headache to install.
As for which motor is best, well that's something entirely different. If you really want to know which motor to get, you have to look at one thing and one thing only: what is your ultimate goal with the car? Drag car? Reliable daily driver? Really friggin' fast? Moderate gains in power and handling? AutoX?
Have to figure out what you want to do with it in the long run and then build your plan from there. The B18C1 is a strong motor though - a good upgrade for your Civic.

Well you're not your dad so don't talk shit. All you've done is prove that you're an idiot and talk shit to people over the internet. Like I told you before do a search and find out for yourself what you need to do for the OBD conversion, if you can't do that much on your own then you have some serious problems and don't belong here. My advise to you is to leave the forum and come back when you grow some pubes little boy.

You would have gotten help a little sooner had you not come on here with your immature attitude. You come here insulting people and not many people will be willing to do anything other than bash you.

dude, someone's already tried the "i don't know but my dad knows more about cars then you do!" bit, and it still smells like BS.
(i do believe this has been said a FEW times around here, but)... basically, you can swap any engine into any car, given enough effort and money. There are VW rabbits rollin with lincoln towncar v8s, and at least a couple of focus's with cobra engines in them... a skyline engine into a 300zx is probably possible, but you would probably need to fabricate motor mounts, widen the transmission/drivetrain tunnel (not sure...) and do a bunch of other things. why bother? the stock turbo'd v6s that came in a lot of the 300zx's were great engines that could be modded easily.
a sb chevy engine swap is pretty popular into older 240sx's, and i'm sure it could be done to a 300 also.
tell me again why you are asking this in the HONDA CIVIC forum again?
:rolleyes:
