Civic Engine Swap.

[Yablokov]

Ok, so if i dun sell my civic, then id def. wanna swap the engine. cause i wont mod an engine that is 127hp 111ft. torque -.-

Has anyone ever swapped a Honda Civic EX 1998 engine?

couse i know its possible to put another engine into it, but i dunno what kinda nor were i could obtain one(cheapest). ^.^

if anyone could please help. id greatly appreciate it.

This is off topic and I dont mean to be a bitch but a civic is an economi point A to point B car. It doesnt need anything extra.

With the money you'll spend on a Civic, another engine plus the swap you could get your self a little sports car like a Miata.

Plus what will you gain from an engine swap? It will still remain slow, and it will still be a Civic...just my advice.

Take it or leave it.

What are you swapping into it?

EDIT- How is this off topic alex? he wants to know about modifying his car. And unless the english language has changed, the subforum IS called Car Problems and MODIFICATIONS Help.

not sure
but i have a friend that has a 2.0l DOHC vtec engine from a prelude in his.
and that little car. will knock ur socks off.

imreally not sure what kinda engine i could put into it(what will fit).

SFMDALEX, i cantget a miata, as i am 6'2. i barly fit into the civic
only "sports car" i can afford atm is something like a nissan 240sx or something like it. but iv liiked everywere, and none are selling that are 1. stick shift 2.lower miles.

P.S. alex, iv also already purchased the civic. i paid for it with cash.

^Id keep looking.. At least start with something rwd. Theres plenty of old 240zs around here..
Also try older bmws, camaros, ect..

If you're looking for a low mileage jap engine, forget it. You aren't going to find anything under 100K.

It's going to be hard to snatch up a Prelude motor for cheap. It's highly sought after.

What city are you located in? anywhere in AZ and i can give you the number of a shop that could really help you out.

[Yablokov]

ya i def. want something rwd, because im absolutly crazy about drifting.
does anyone know a good looking sports car from 1991-2000 that is under 10k USD?

it was pauring down rain few mins ago, so i decided to go and drift my lil go-cart XD

it was soo much fun. till i almost crashed >.>

[Yablokov]

nah im in washington state.
o and i would go n do the whole head switching thingy. but i got a SOHC -.- so there really wouldnt be much point to it

[ZfrkS62]

well, find a 240SX, or 300ZX. The Z's are insanely fun Maybe an RX-7 would be a good choice.

[graywolf624]

camaro z28, corvette (just about 10k), rx7, z cars, 1st gen miata(though know you said you were too large for one), fiero, mr2, supra, early 80s bmw, ect....

well I can tell you this I can get you a discounted RSX type-S engine (K22 I believe) only problem is getting from Chicago to Washington but I guarantee it will fit and it starts with 200 hp probably the best engine option aswell.

shipping it won't be horrid. honda 4 bangers aren't that heavy

true considering I picked up a V6 short block from a TL today with no trouble.
