Here is a list of all the best engines that can be used for a swap. I will try to cover brief spec and the pros and cons of the swap. Pictures are included but may not represent the engine exactly. All information is a result of my research. There will be conflicting information but I have done my best to get the most trusted information. Please enjoy! :bigsmile:
Any D Series
- Civic
- Most have around 109 BHP (highest is 130 BHP)
- Have potential (200 BHP)
- 103ft/lbs torque (not much less than a B16A)
- Non-VTEC
- Don't respond well to bolt ons
- Only way to get power is forced induction
- Enough if you aren't looking for high power figures
B16A
- Civic VTi
- 160 BHP
- 113ft/lbs torque (not much more than a D series)
- VTEC
- Inexpensive in comparison to other engines
- Good transmission
B16B
- Civic Type R (6th generation)
- 170 BHP
- 117ft/lbs torque
- VTEC
- Almost as expensive as a B18C5, but less power
B18B1
- Integra
- 142 BHP
- 127 ft/lbs torque
- Non-VTEC
- May as well get a B16A for a less
- Longest B series transmission
B18C1
- Integra
- 170 BHP
- 121 ft/lbs torque
- VTEC
- Huge potential
- Common swap (making the swap easier)
- Expensive as they are becoming rare
B18C5
- Integra Type R
- 195 BHP
- 134 ft/lbs torque
- VTEC
- Best (factory) tranmission on a B series
- Huge potential
- Best swap for a Civic (my opinion)
- Common swap
- Very expensive
H22
- Prelude/Accord
- 190/200 BHP (conflicting information)
- 156 ft/lbs torque
- VTEC
- Weighs more than a B series engine
- Very expensive
- Harder to install than a B or D series engine
- Less common swap (meaning less inforamation)
K20A
- Civic Type R (7th generation onwards)
- 212-227 BHP (depending on model)
- 149-158 ft/lbs torque (depending on model)
- I-VTEC
- 6 speed transmission
- Responds well to bolt ons
- Most have low mileage
- Incredibly expensive
