Civic EG

Is a B18a1 worth buying for 300 bucks? just the motor (no tranny)... i have a D16y7 in my car now. Also wat else wuld i need if i bought the motor to swap it in my car. I havnt rlly researched much on engine swaps. Thanks

unless you really know/trust the person selling it or can see it running.. I would stay away from a B18a1. thats a 19-22 year old motor.. only reason i would get one would be just for a complete rotating assembly to start a build with (forged rods/pistons/complete rebuild) but i wouldn't pay $300 for it.. especially when you can get a JDM B18b/B20 w/ low miles and a warranty for a couple hundred more.

there are THOUSANDS of threads out there that completely outline how to do a B swap.. even a few on here

Alrite... thanks!

...from HMO's website a B20 costs right at $800 shipped. as for the age comment, the SIR1 B16's are the same price and tend to go for a lil more cash off HMO.

If you're able to do a compression test on the engine, and the test results come back good. then I'd buy it for $300, but of course I'd try to talk him down.

to make the engine work in the EG, you'd need a 94+ b series hydro transmission, motor mounts, 94+ Integra axles and intermediate shaft, rear mount bracket, shift linkage, OBD1 ECU (PR4, P75 or a chipped P06/P28).

JUICE is right, there are a few threads on the internet on how to swap an engine into your car.

You may be new to swaps, but you're still able to search the internet...

I'd stay away and save up for b20 more torque more hp to if you get the 99 spec and b20vtecs are better then lsvtecs I think but that's my .02 cents
