Civic EG

I am very new to this civic thing. lol. I know i could search and i have been searching but i was wondering what would be the most easy and cheapest way for a swap. I am into drag racing it I know run 17.6 i would like to be somewhere into the 13's. I have a 1992 HB with a d15b7 that has a horrible knock. Should I either build my d15 or buy another motor and swap it out. Thanks.

What's your budget? Do you want N/A, Turbo, or Nitrous?
whatever you do, don't waste time building your D15b7 for 13's. If it's ready to go, then what better time to swap in something DOHC
Or SOHC turbo is another option, but I'd use a D16 as a base for that route.

i would like to stick with D because i know these cars came with a d16z6 in them. Turbo is probably a distant possibility but n/a for now. what about nitrous i was thinking a zex 75 shot with the d16 and a cam. Where do I shop for stuff for the d series and where could i find prices on turbo kits.

also about b-series where could i find one. what should i look for for problems, will it swap right in and how much are they compared to d16z6.

my budget is small haha. im looking for way cheap on this build for now.

D15B cheap and simple swap, decent power

b16 cheap ... decent power

small budget and 13's N/A D series . My opinion is if you have a small budget save up to buy a decent engine, don't build cheap it'll be more expensive on the long run, less reliability. 13's is very duable but with $$$ and some help, but luckily honda engines have a good market of performace parts that others don't. Search, search, and search some more and decide what you really want. A b series engine has more potential to reach the 13's N/A i think with less money than a D series.

-Much more simple if your engine is knocking and the hatch is your daily just buy a d16z6 and save up to buy/build your new engine.
Good luck man

D series and N/A don't really go together. It can be done, but you'll end up spending alot more in the log run than you think. You'll also be running a high compression motor to get good #'s which means higher octane gas.

If you're gonna build a boosted D for 13's, then that is very possible. I'd use a D16z6 and a mid size turbo. I don't really know much about nitrous setups, but that would be your best bang for the buck I'd think.

if you want somthing cheap and you wanna go DOHC go with a LS swap. it will cost less then 1k and give you a good amount of power and lots of torque. i had a ls swap that i picked up for $600 and threw it in my hatch. I was pretty happy with it. the only thing is that you wont run 13s more likly in the 14s. Im sure if u put some more money into it you can get it in the 13s

That's exactly what I'm trying to say, he wants to stick to a D series, dont want to use turbo but is thinking about using 75 shot of zex and has a small budget.

D on 13's very possible but with big budget, not pocket change is a lot easier to build a dohc and more close to his goal.

All motor b16

ls motor + nitrous...13's easy

well thanks guys and gals ive made the decision to go dohc but where to find motor and whats the ls swap and where could i find one for cheap
