Hey im in the process of buying a 2000 civic si with the b16 in it. Is it worth it to do a swap to a b18 or just build the internals on the b16 and boost the $hit out of it?

b18 is better, but for the cost its just not worth it to swap......

the b16 is already a good motor so stick with it and boost it

Definately keep it and boost it, my buddy's got one in his civic, even with only 5 psi it screams. You wont be dissappointed.

u already have a sweet motor..... but if you have the money there are better ones out there (b18c) but if your like 99% of the people here, you dont have much money and the money u do have will be best spent on your current motor

yeah so fuck that guy he sold the si to a guy who walked up with cash...prick. so now i'm lookin at a 99 dx fer 1500 with skunk 2 coilovers and a couple other bonuses. should i go with the swap? or build up internals and boost?

Either there's something wrong with the car or you're just lying off your ass about a 99 DX for 1500 bucks, so I'd hold off on getting that one.

what exactly is the mini me swap? i'm still pretty new to the honda scene...i think i'm going to do a b series swap though...but i'm still open to other sugestions

yeah it needs a few cosmetic things including front fender and front bumper and it has a theft title with no radio

mini me is a non vtec bottom end with a vtec head. ya do a b series and fix the cosmetic stuff... and youll be happy

Yeah i think i might go by a junk yard or somethin and do the mini me set up while i'm saving up cash for the b series block...any idea what a vtec head would cost me?

in my opinion... if your gunna do a b series swap dont do a mini me... thats more money to put to a swap.... uut a good d16z6 head souldnt run any more than $250. and youll need a P28 ECU...which can get kinda pricey.
