    Default engine swap?

    I just bought a 1997 Honda Civic DX. It has somewhat high mileage, but I want to swap for something faster and preferably VTEC. Any suggestions, considering price (purchasing and installing)? Thanks

    well if you are worried about price just buy you a replacement d-series motor such as the d16y8 since you want vtec and build it up. you can get plenty of power out of the sohc for less money than swaping in a B, H, or K motor. D-SERIES!!!!!

    B18C1 FTW. DOHC fo LYFE

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    B18c1= $3200 great for any way you want to go n/a or boost

    H22= $2200 LOTS of stock power but a ***** to swap
