Hey, I have a 1991 Civic and I am going to do an engine swap soon, but i can't decide which the best engine for me to swap in would be. I can't decide betweem a b16, b18, b20, H22 (J-spec), an LS V-Tech or even an engine i haven't thought of.. What engine might you guys suggest for this car if I want to get the max horsepower and speed. (Please don't think of it from a cost point of view, just best power options).


Also, what shops in and around the GTA would be best for doing engine swaps?

K20

And do it yourself...Honda swaps are rediculously easy. Especially if you go B series.

Jamez

K20, thats the S2K motor right? I never really thought of that one.

*** the k-series. Too muck work/money still. For the 10K you would spend doing a K-series swap (especially in an EF) you could build one mean boosted b-series.
IMO i would go with a b20vtec or just a b20.

K = rsx and 2006 civic si

Best bang for your buck would be the GSR, proven time and time again. Built properly and add boost in that light chassis.....

k20 :thumbsup :thumbsup

Jamez

is that a K20 in the pic there?

Jamez

and what about an F20C motor, too much cost?

k20 is a peice of junk, rods are weak, valve springs calapse, over rated message board motor, yet everyone thinks it is superior

D/B/H proven many times over and over again.

Agreed.
Not to mention over priced.
For the price you could build a monster b20vtec.

yes sir.. :thumbsup and swaped h22ef ain't touching it...

Jamez

and what about the F20 motor from the S2000, just a waste of money? cause i still can't decide what the best motor to go with is for max hp and speed, etc.

TurboSupra12

well for starters, and S2K is RWD. your civic is FWD. Either way, it's gonna be a HELL of a lot of work.

Jamez

yea, probably not worth it.

F20Cs are perfect....if you hate torque
