Re: Engine Swap Specifications
We might need to separate these into the civic generations that they fit into. Someone is bound to ask can I put a b16a2 into a 2005 civic? Legally and within reason they can't. I don't think we need to promote someone into putting an illegal engine into their car.

Re: Engine Swap Specifications
I totally agree with you, that was next on my list... its going to be a little difficult to seperate and dont want to make too many duplications... so what i was thinking was listing engine years instead of gens they fit into. That way people know if its legal or not.

Re: Engine Swap Specifications
I think listing engine years is the best way to go about it. I couldn't come up with a different way that would be not complicated. Just need a statement saying you can only swap engines from the same year or newer. Transmission options might be something else to include.

Re: Engine Swap Specifications
Adding years will get insane, I vote we go by models with an asterisk at the top that says you can't swap in older motors due to emissions regs.
We could have a really broad swap guideline for the general section, with more specifics in the gen forums.

Re: Engine Swap Specifications

Re: Engine Swap Specifications
Swap guide for EFs, its the most massive detailed one out there..
To detailed for a general swap thread, but this should be stickied in their forum and info can be pulled from it for this sticky.

Re: Engine Swap Specifications
For the time being instead of putting years or models I'm putting the last year the engine was manufactured. its a pretty good reference for people to guy by when theyare deciding on a swap... until i can get the car models in there... which might take me a while.
I think I have the B series finished.

Re: Engine Swap Specifications
hmm.. all im trying to do is make a list that people can sift through.. then search the engines online to see costs etc. what you have there is an engine guide.. not quite what im trying to do here.

Re: Engine Swap Specifications
Yea, but keeping it local on here.. and only including the swap-worthy engines... after that people can search up on whether their OBD will work and if its a legal swap etc. .. we can link it directly into our performance gain thread.

People like me, who dont know engines, and those who look at a car and go "hey, nice K457546 swap"
I just go
