Default how sweet would this make my car?

i've got a 93 civic dx hatchback that is completly stock, i want to swap in a B16A2 SIR2 engine. how good do you think this will make my car?

and off that subject i need an opinion, should i put a wings west bigmouth kit on my car and paint it black, or should i leave off the kit and paint the car a metallic pearl blue?

How good? well, it will definatly make it faster if thats what your asking. B-series are the best powerplants for Civics IMO.

I personally think all body kit pieces should be painted before you install them.

Man How good will it make your car?
I would let my momma bitch slap you for asking that question.
The best thing you could do is leave your car stock and give me the B16A2 for free .

haha, no problem, send me your adress and i'll send you one, but as you can probly tell i don't now much about engines right now, but i am trying to learn as much as i can, so by the time i can afford the new engine i should be able to put it in with the help of some knowledgeable friends, and if i paint the car black the kit will be black also, but if i paint it blue i won't be able to afford the kit also

Whatever you do, don't paint a car with a bodykit black. You'll hardly be able to see the kit. I think you should take all the bumpers off and add some chrome curb feelers on both sides

If you are serious about sending me one, than you're one rich ****.
You'll catch up quickly if you read a lot.

if you painted your car black and put a body kit on unpainted the car would be shiney and the kit would be a flat black. and yes, a b16 would make your car alot faster, 108 vs 160 and 2000 more revs, cant go wrong.

i would never put a kit on my car that wasn't painted the same color as the car, the only reason i'm doin the body first is cause i'm in a collision repair class so i could do it all myself while just paying for materials, and because i'm going into that field for a career i figure i could take a really crappy looking car and make it look awesome so i could have a driving resume.
