Civic 2001 Hybrid

supz,
has anyone tried a B16/B18 swap in the 6thgen Civic?
I have a 2k2 Civic EX Coupe. I want more power. What type of engine setup will be the best for this car?? What motor is in the RSX Type R or Type S?

You have a 2002 civic...isn't that already 7th gen?? All I know is integra engine fits without adjustment in any 6th gen or younger, tranny lines up perfeclty

I don't think you can swap in B16/B18;'s etc into a 7th gen (01+) civic. The RSX motors are K20s.. Look in the FAQ at the top of the page for the link to the thread with motor threads.

What about the 2002 CRV motor into a 2002 EX?

yes, my mistake. 7th generation civic. Does the D17 motor have any potential?
Anyway, has anyone heard of coil overs made by Tom's Motorsports? anygood?

i think a h22 can be swapped in with major suspension work..saw it in import tuner, or scc...really dont remember the magazine

[Rice-Rocketeer]

It was in SCC and it was a a 5th gen, not a 7th.

ok....

I doubt it, the new civics are ODB-3, correct? If so, dont even bother with it...

The B16/B18 will drop into a 5th gen+ without any mount kits, etc...

THe new CRV engine is bad ass... 160hp, 160ft-lbs...but the intake manifold and exhaust manifold are on different sides of the engine bay than that of a reg. civic.

All the Kseries i-VTEC engines are mounted this way, making it VERY difficult, and a waste of $$$ to try and swap one in...

People...let's try and stay focused on the question. I believe he was asking about swapping a B16 or B18 into the 7th Gen Civic.

You can't do that.

However, you probably will be able to swap the RSX engines and the new Si engine into your car.

As for serious performance, give the developers some time and I'm sure some things will come out. You might want to look into nitrous...I've seen a few 7th Gens with N20, so that will give you some power.

If I recall, Tom's makes some very nice parts for Toyotas. Didn't know they made anything for Hondas...but it's probably not a bad buy.

ok well folks, heres the thing, u can swap a b16 or b18 into the 7th gen civic, im actually getting ready to put a turbocharged b18 on my 2001 civic lx. the b18 works with the new axles, and wont require any suspension work like the h22. what u dont want to do is get a k20, with those ull have to reverse the entire engine compartment seeing as how the transmission in the k20 is on the drivers side, and then ull need mount kits, and ull have to reinforce the engine compartment in certain places so it can handle the weight of the engine due to the location of the new mount kits.
