Hi... I am getting ready to swap my d15b7 on my 92 civic LX.... I have heard b18b would be a good replacement...
Would anyone recommend something better to swap it with since I am going to have it out anyway .. ... any recommendations ? Thanks

B18b is a good choice... You could always go B18c5 though :twisted: It all depends on your budget and what you plan on doing with the car.

I use this car for normal use.. home-work-home..
What year/ model b18b would be a good choice? do I need to replace the transmission as well...

There are ways to mate the D transmission to B series engines and vice versa. But it's a pain and expensive. Besides B trannys are better than Ds.
