| is a B18C1, V-TEC a good engine to swap in a 1992 |

| Yes, if its a cx or dx hatch it should run low 14's with a decent driver. Will take most stock or mildly modified cars without any mods. |

| i'd say one of the best N/A honda engines? second probably to the H22A, so if it's cheap go for it, it'll haul ass and there is tonnes of aftermarket shit for it :thumbup: |

Uhh.. No offence to any prelude owners.. But H-series Motor's Suck balls..
And Yes a B18C1 is a fair choice motor to swap into a 1992 Civic. All you need is Some motor mounts, shift linkages, ecu/conversion harness, and some Misc. Other stuff...
PM: 'Jasonsir' If you are Not comfortable doing the swap on your own.. He will let you know everything you need.. and how long it will take... :thumbup: :thumbup: |

| Seriously.. stop talking out of your ass.. my friend has a h22a in his hatch.. and ran 13.7 with intake and exhaust.. and he went at it with a b18c5 hatch.. and the type r just doesn't have the torque to keep up. I'd run a b18a/b and just run a rediculous amount of boost on it. |

I have to admit, the stock H series doesn't like boost like the B series does....but after a "proper" sleeve job, it is just as good. Compare torque for torque and the H will outperform the B series. But after seeing another boosted B18a......I would recommend doing rods and pistons/stock sleeves, and boost the hell out of that.....as previously stated.
Just that much more fun....and driveable.

yeah, i wasnt even thinkin that for a civic though :D and yeah i guess the C5 outdoes the C1 by about 30 HP... but either one is still a decent swap for the civic, and the C1 is probably cheaper. also.... i agree that its probably better to boost a regular nonvtec b series motor :thumbup: |

That's My point..
If you wanna make More power from an H-Series.. and you plan on new Pistions.. You nearly HAVE to Resleeve it...
And Plus.. I've seen all kinds of Preludes Smoking/Burning oil,.. Even New Ones.. 98+..
My point is.. .. I'm just Jealous of the bigger displacement.
But.. The King 'D-Series' Still Hump's out the Pony's.. :p
AKA.. D-Series For TeH WiNNiES! |

I'm going to build a ls/vtec for my 94 gsr. We'll see how much hp AND tq it can push out.
It can be cheaper than just a b18c1 swap too! |
