Honda Car Forum

I recently bought a 1995 Honda Civic hatchback and i want to do an engine swap on it. I want to put in a JDM Bi8c engine on it but im afaird that it wount fit. And if cant fit in my car then what other suguestions do u have?

Any B series motor will drop in without much problem. The B16A or B18C1 are both really good choices for this chassis. Some idiot will undoubtly say "Get a K20" well this swap will run about $10,000 in your car. So stick with the B series and you will not only be happier, but your wallet will thank you later. A B series swap installed will only be about $3,000 and the HP difference between the K20 and B18C is only 30 HP at the crank, which for another $3,000 you can get a Greddy or Turbonetics turbo kit and have a 50-60 HP advantage over the K20 and still be $4,000 under the cost of the K20 swap by itself.

yeah what he said^

Im a Honda Technical Trainer and Hondab16 is talking a lot of sense good advice.
