Hi guys, Im here to ask you sumthin, I currently drive a 91 honda Civic and have almost done it up mostly over a year or so, but the last thing i wanted to do is put another engine a more powerful one in, So wat i am saying is wat can i put in and wat cant i put in? and also any good cheap peple to fit it for me, Any offers please pm or just reply with them, and if you can help me with drive in, drive out service over a couple of days, its currenlty a 1.5l so anything bigger would be greater, and preferably non turbo but if good price will look at it.

Thanks guys

um... shouldn't u b askin this on a honda forum? coz its close to impossible and financially retarded to swap anything but a honda engine into your car.

If i were you i'd look at putting a BA16a (or B16a i think it was called) engine. Its a common swap for many swaps, and the engine you can import from japan (or buy a 1988 CRX with one in it and bring the car down, swap your engine into it and sell the car).

As for costs... hehe how much have you got? Its not cheap.

In my opinion, I think you are asking on the wrong forum. The best engine to transplant into a 91 civic is a 454 chev big block 'plug & play' package. It will bolt straight in on the standard engine mounts and will mate up to your standard gearbox without the need for a custom bellhousing. It should take you less than 3 hours to do all the work yourself. The tools required for the job are (1) shifting spanner (2) phillips head screwdriver (3) flat blade screwdriver (4) big hammer (5) small hammer (6) band-aids (7) jack (8) KY jelly (9) 9 volt battery (10) goat (11) jumper leads (12) nipple clamps. A step by step guide to the conversion is available at www.noidea.net complete with pictures.

LOL

Maybe a FWD SR20DET (maybe not available, but I know CA18DETs are) or SR20VE. Both are pretty good engines. Personally I'd sell the Honda and buy a Nissan, but that's just me.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
