Civic EG

I wanna talk with a few people about engines swap, thinking of doing one and want to hear some opinions, not gonna be a track car or street racing just a daily witch a kick, I like that feeling of a really fast takeoff my engine ATM is a d15b7 so what do u guys think I should do to get what I'm looking for, someone said gsr something one time but I can't find the post

How much do you have to spend and how much power are you looking for?

I'm hoping to stay under 3k for just the engine and honestly idk how much power anything better than my stock engine lol

well if you stay D series you wont have to buy another tranny, set of mounts, ect.

if you go any other series youll have to buy pretty much everything.

What do u guys have?

A b16 or a b18 is a nice swap and fits wel in budget.

I have a GSR engine swap, and i love it!


Engine
Transmission
rear mount
shifters
OBD1 alternator
ignition connectors need to be changed(i put in a OBD1 wire harnas)
i already had a sohc vtec wire harnas dash and motor so i only needed the IAB wire and a retune of my ECU.

If you have PS, you need a 92/95 EG B16 ps pump.

Does the b18 require a tranny swap? And someone told me that a gsr would be good for what I wanted ,what exactly is a gsr?

Yes you need a different tranny.

A GSR swap is a B18c1 with 170bhp.

A GSR swap is fairly easy to do and would suit you well I'm sure. Maybe a h22a swap down the road.

I swapped a b18b1 into my '95 coupe. I originally wanted a b18c1 (GSR motor), but I picked up a wrecked '94 Integra with 98,000 original miles for $300, so that's what I did. With a b18b1 you will be impressed at the power over the d15b7. For a little while. Then you'll want more. Quickly.

Recently I acquired a '98 coupe with a b18c1 swap and, although i haven't driven it much, I love it! I picked it up for $1500. i originally bought it just for the GSR swap for my '95 coupe, but have decided to keep it as is and do a h22a or k series swap in the '95 down the road.

For 3k you should be able to get everything you need to do a GSR swap. Unless of course you get the swap from say, hmotorsonline. If you could find a wrecked GSR with a good motor and tranny, that would be the way to go as you'll have everything you need right there.

I have a H22A4 swap and I love it. Definitely a little more in depth than a B swap though.

My brother has a GSR in his CRX and it's quick too. Hard to go wrong either way.

I'm not a B16 fan though, tbh.

I have a d15b7 in my sedan and a JDM d15b in my coupe. both with DX transmissions. its a hell of a difference between the 2. its not like holy crap snap your neck fast but the sohc vtec is alot more fun than a b7. i had an EX tranny with it at one point and that was even better
