im think of buying a motor for my eg but i want it to be a dohc.... my question is what motor will drop right in and be the easiest swap to do for my car

 

manual? auto? what motor do you have ATM?

 

any obd 1 engine should be fairly ez

any obd 0 or obd 2 is a little different but not impossible

i like b18b
decent horse good platform to boost

b16a2 wouldn't be bad either

really up to what want to spend

why not just boost your motor?

 

Well if your in a 5g you might as well go B-series, since there really isnt to many DOHC ZC 3g's availble (obd1) So, go with what ya like or what you can get for cheap. The B18a/b LS are pretty decent (with a turbo ofcorse) but in stock form they feel kinda like ----, and sluggish. Thats why alot of people go with B16a's they put out more power in stock form, and love to rev. OR if ya got a bit more money Go LS/Vtec or a simple B18c GSR/Type R swap.

well my d15b7 was boosted but i snaped a rod and bent a valve and i wasnt really satified with how much power it yeilded.....thanks guys

 

If you are going to do a b series, I'd go with a b16. Most bang for the buck. It's a good motor for boost too. The B18 doesn't put up with boost as well.

 

go with the h22a, its a good drop in with little or no modifications with aftermarket motor mounts

 

the H22 is a ------- lame motor to put in a civic. it just doesn't belong there, civics have B/D series motors, H's belong in preludes and accords, and the occasional RWD mid engine Del Sol. god thats a ------- RICE thing to do, waste a bunch of money one a h22 in a god damned eg that'd go faster with a ------- turbo D. GRRRR

 

Its not as easy as you think..

 

Or maybe its not as hard as you think
