Civic EG

i have an EG hatch and well i didn't really blow the stock D15b7 i actually blew the head gasket but its been blown before and the head cant be machined again and i got some messed up piston rings im burning oil and smoking like a diesel just blue lol. anyway my mechanic told me i needed a whole new engine and thought it was a great time do do my swap but i have a very low budget of like 2000 and want to slam a b16a in it and mess with that any better ideas?

ya, put a LS in it and roll on B16 swapped hatchys

much cheaper too.

ya but iv seen a b16 hatch surprise a b18c in a hatch and thats more hps than a ls
how much did your ls swap run you?

btw i want something with VTECH!!!!!

the b18c hatch just needed a driver mod

why tranny problems or just performance?

My 99 Spec jdm b20(same as usdm b20z) has less horsepower then both b18c GSR's as well as b16's. However my B20 with a b16 transmission will beat both in a race. Why? I have my power from 2000RPM and dont have to wait for VTEC.

you can get a b20 or b18b from a wrecking yard for less then 500 bucks and pick up a b16 tranny from any Delsol VTEC or a 99-00 Civic Si. If you do so you can be the one surprising b18c hatchs and effortless pulling away from b16's.

purchase price + rebuild + random bullshit



it's a GSR tranny w/ Type R LSD and final drive
