Currently i have a 97 Civic EX. Should i swap to a b18b (ls swap) or just keep the d and turbo it?

 

Depends on how deep your pocket is. Turbo it if cash is a little thight right now, swap if you got enough. At the end, youre going to get them both, right?
Run that bitch until it blows, then you got a reason to get a B18

 

lol. pockets are deep enough for either. i was thinking about doing the b18b swap then turboing it later on.. but havent had much luck finding a b18b or a decent shop to do the work

 

youre d series with a decent $1500 turbo kit will make almost 200whp and cost maybe a total of $2k after tuning and everything. youre b18b swap with basic bolt ons is gonna cost about the same but make only 130-140whp. but then again the b18b does has a lot more potential later on down the road compared to the d16y8.

 

if you get all the stuff. ill swap it for yah....lmk if your interested.

 

any ideas where to get a decent motor? i want it to be obd2

 

TURBO! FUN. i just got mine done last night.

 

nice.. i think the b18b is the better route.. my friend has the new cobra and i need to keep up with him... doubt the d series will take it that far

 

try hmotorsonline.com i got a motor on the way from them right now. if you want local try ace used auto in tampa. i got an ls swap from there a while back. its still running.

 

how much would you charge for the swap and anything else i would need?
