Did you get a full swap? Did you get a 1st generation B16A?
Y1 or S1 tranny?
Oh..here's a good question...
Why is a post about a 1990 Civic in the 92-00 Civic forum?

You will be looking at about 165-168 fwhp. You will need mounts, axles, a "new" ECU from an older Integra, a tranny and a wiring kit to convert from DPFI to MPFI. There may be other things so check the 1st-4th gen forum.

165 front wheel hp?
WHAT??
Those generation B16As only had 158 flywheel hp.
A header and intake won't bring it up to that my friend!
B18C5s make about 167whp....

A tad bit of misunderstanding. I meant fwhp in the fly-wheel hp sense. I thought I had the abbr. right :/.

oh..hhahahaha
It's all good yo
Correct Abbr. - BHP (brake horsepower)
it seems like that would be at the wheels (at the brakes) but it isn't..BHP is flywheel hp.

i mostly found them to run about 1200-3000 is that the average price? or are there better deals out there? if so where might i look? also the clutch i have now is acting up, it seems to slip sometime when i take off, like the engine will rev but im barely going, thats the clutch slipping right?
