Civic EG

hey guys, i'm a newbie to the site i want to get an EG civic but im confused on which engines which cars came with etc. What the difference between the B and D series engines and am i right thinking the ESi came with the D16Z6 lump and only the VTi came with the B16 lump. also is the d series engine tuneable and how much where can i get parts for the d series engine and where is the best place to buy a EG civic im on a budget at the minute only want to spend £1000 max any help is warmly taken cheers

D series has one camshaft and B series has two.

B>D

Is correct up to the point where he says B>D lol im more of a fan of getting the most outa the D rather then spending alot on a B

Now to answer your question you will probaly be able to get something using craigslist or ebay or search your local market ask around but you will for that money not be able to get a good B swapped Eg there will most likely be some issues like rust some corners cut etc... but dont fear thats why this site is here just dont get something that you think may overwhelm you in the end.

And as far as B and D motors go both are great motors and offer different values parts etc. out of the box easily the B will win anyones vote but with the right tune and a ncie turbo or high comp build a D can really be a nice motor. and as i always say the less stuff the less that can go wrong ....1 cam compared to 2 etc etc.....but heck really the motor option is up to you this site has alot of stuff and alot of nice features sorry to be the one to say this but one of those features is the search tool in the forum drop down menu great for answering questions like this

I have more wrenches though! lol

just playing. right now I'm reppin' the D15B8 hopefully soon to be B18b

d series all the way ... dont get me wrong.. b series are faster.... but for some reason.. i have more respect for the built d series... b series are heavier... fatties... .. (just messin O.o)

if your on a budget d series is the way to go mini me swap aren't that much but b series is my goal i respect both its just somthing you need to read up on and decide but a d series build gets a lot of respect

i like my motors the same as i like my women... D's are better then B's

D series FTW
B16 fanboys are annoying

Drop in a B18C and leave it completely stock. Drop it into a four door Civic with the stock plastic wheel covers and a "baby on board" sign in the window. Get one of those JDM drift stickers and put it next a "child of the month" sticker.

That would be hot.

You get a D and you'll never be happy with it. It's a money pit. Then you try to get the car looking nice... but for what? So idiots can rev on you on the traffic saturated, heavily policed streets? Then you get the H badges jacked off your car. And for some reason your key wont work in the driver's door anymore. GREAT.

Nothing is more fun than a sleeper. Some bitch tries to road rage you... or some idiot wont let you merge on the freeway. Put the pedal down on an old Civic with a GSR engine. They don't see that shit coming. You'll be feeling good after that.

Torque-less D will make you feel like you're small in the pants (or small up top for you ladies). But if you insist on a D I suggest you start with some high compression pistons and a mild cam. Don't bother with an intake/exhaust until you have that and some engine management. Otherwise it's just another fart can with euro lights. Loud and buzzy but slow as shit. There's plenty of that crap on the road already.

Amen, that's pretty much my goal except with a B, dissapoint so many people down a drag strip and on track with 'that wrecked POS civic'

Only time I think OTT styling is called for is when you got something rear wheel drive with a beefy turbo and a million horsepower.
