Wich 92-95 civc hb modelbest for engine swap?

I am going to buy a 92-95 hb and later swap the engine maybe with a b18c1. I need to know which model is the best for the swap besides the si. Do all of them have power steering and a tachometer.
Thanks in advance

The Dx and Cx didn't have Tach or Power Steering, the Vx had a tach but probably not power steering. And they're all good for a swap.

I believe the Si and VX are factory-wired for VTEC so that may make it a little easier

The si & ex came with rear disc breaks personally that would be the model I would go for. Oh and get the 92's they did not come with dual air bags only driver side air bag.:smoker2:

Well the CX is the lightest(no VTEC, no tach), the VX is second(VTEC-E and a tach), DX is 3rd(No VTEC, no tach) and the Si is the heaviest but has VTEC(D16Z6) and a tach. You can have lighter with no VTEC(might be harder for wiring) or you can have it be a little heavier and easier to hook up VTEC.

what the hell is "Passenger Assist Handle" ?

Probably the "Oh Shit!" handle.

ahh.. ok ;)

hey hey i got a 92 civic hatch (CX) with a b18c1 (LS) no vtec but with a GSR Tranny and it can smoke MUSTANG .... and i can beat GSR i havent race a TYPE R yet but after my vtec come in i have confident that i will ... cuz with the GSR tranny i have red line quicker then the regular LS tranny but it worth man im a real RICE BURNER with my 94 LS / GSR tranny but it really up on you what you want and what you like .... and how much you wanna spend my next project is my b20b on my 2000 hatch ....



HONDA-FREAK
:flash:

The B18C1 is the GSR engine code. The GSR has Vtec. The B18B is the LS engine which is not Vtec enabled. And I highly doubt that with a whopping 140hp you can SMOKE any mustang.
