its vtec, not vtech, that's a phone company. and i assume by that you mean the best vtec ENGINE to swap into your car. well the best would a k20a type r swap but that'll run you about 10 grand. so how bout you figure out what kind of budget you have to work with then go from there. and are you able to do the work yourself, or will you have to pay someone to do it. most people on budgets who want a quicker setup then their stock d-series go with a b18a1 swap. from there you could go with b18b1, b16a2, b16a jdm sir II, b18c1, gsr b18c, jdm b16b, jdm b18c or usdm b18c5 type r engine. progressively more expensive as you move up the list.
Not to mention "best" could mean one thing to one person, and something else to another. if best simply means fastest then purchase the best engine that you can afford.
B16!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can only swap an engine of a Civic Hatchback with an engine of a newer car. Its only legal to swap in engines of the same or newer OBD series. So the Civic engine you swap with has to be a 94 or newer but any of those engines will fit.
depends on what year. whatever the f8ck yuh want!~
yes with a little customization, very common swap look into it. any Bseires will swap right in no problems. Specially if get an obd1 motor basically plug and play. Just gota change the rear mount in most cases.
will a h23a vtech work in a 92 prelude? what extra will be needed or changed besides a chipped p28 ecu ..? I have a 92' Honda prelude s.i. with a h23a1 non vtech and im going to swap, but i need answers before i buy this engine..
Nothing, go buy a Chevy and put a Corvette engine in it.
The 97 Honda Prelude motor (h22a) will fit into a 2000 civic with custom mounts (available to purchase online), however you will need the h22a transmission, shift-linkage, axles, and ecu (full swap). The h22a motor will not work with the stock d-series transmission.
engine swap
to answer your question is has endless possibiltys but i would say the best is h22a prelude engine
yes
Yes. The engine can be replaced with a different type, usually with better performance.
It's possible to swap in a B20 series motor from a 3rd gen Prelude to a 5th gen Civic. However, it would be more practical (and easier to swap in) a D-series motor which there are multiple variants for the Civic between the late '80s into the '90s.
