Whats the best engine swap for my 95' civic ex???(3.5k-under)

[CivRacer95]

Well, I don't know a whole lot about engine swaps, but I hear that the 98-2001 GSR engines are the best for your Civic. I don't know. Hope I didn't mis-inform you. Some would say to look on Ebay. There seems to be a lot of good motors for a pretty decent price there. People have their own opinions though. Late...

hey u still here??

[CivRacer95]

Yeah, what's up?

[Kuntry_Boi06]

u got an ex also?

[Kuntry_Boi06]

i looked on ebay they dont have any u no how much they generally run?

[CivRacer95]

Yes sir, the EX model is the only one I would choose. Plus I think the 92-95's look sleeker than the 96-00's. But I would say that most would average between 2k through 4k. Let me find one and I'll post it when I do. late...

by that little whistling thingy that didnt do him any godd u mean a turbo???

[CivRacer95]

No, it's a little device that goes in your exhaust and creates the BOV sound. It's ridiculously stupid. OK, go to Ebay motors, and just look up B18C. You'll find some GSR motors. Hope it helps, any more ?'s just ask. Late...

hey man can i add u to my buddy list im kinda a dumba** when it come s to cars and ur helpin out a lot !!!
hers a new question how do u set the timin on a civic i jus puta new distributor on my car and now the timin's off and it wont start!!!

[CivRacer95]

Sure, I don't mind if you add me to the list. As for the timing belt, I've never actually dealt with the problem. Just start a new thread. But for you, take it to the Honda forum section. You'll see that there's a section in there for 92 on Civics/ del sols I think. A lot of guys in there know a lot about your honda. I'm sure you'll get a snag. Late...

[CivRacer95]

If I remember, they are at 180+HP. It should say in the auction if you are looking in Ebay. No I don't have messenger. Sorry. Just send me an email sometime. I check it throughout the day. Here it is:

Your options are:

B16A1 - 160hp and 111 ft lbs of torque for around $1600.
B16A2 - 170hp and 116 ft lbs of torque for around $2300.
B18C1 - 178hp and 128 ft lbs of torque for around $2700.
B18C5 - 195hp and 130 ft lbs of torque for around $4500 (too much).
H22A1 - 200hp and 161 ft lbs of torque for around $2000.

If you know how to modify stuff, get the H22, a lot of power but it needs new motor mounts, etc. For a simple swap and speaking from experience, the B16A1 is a great engine, sounds great, fun to drive, and there are many modifications for it. you could put all that money you save towards a turbo or supercharger.
