the B16 would be no good in our cars, they are only good in like CRX's.. b18 can be done, its gunna cost u a bit more in the long run cuz you will have to have custom mounts made since no one makes them for our cars.. k swap is the way to go, the b series wont be around 2 much longer.

$6,000-$8,000 for the k20 swap.

My swap cost me around $17,500

this is a federal EPA law. it states that no older engine can be put into a car that is newer than the year the engine was produced. i.e. you can't even legaly put a 2001 d17 into a 2002. it is all about emmsions. if you get caught with an older engine, b18, h22, etc. first they TAKE your car, not impound, but TAKE. then you can be assed a fine up to $10,000 plus up to 6 years in federal prision. stick with a k20 or k23. it'll save you problems in the future.

for your car it would have to be fom the k series line. no other engines can go in due to strict emission laws. read up before you jump the gun.

Best thing to do would be a k swap, a k23 would be nice but no one makes mounts for it.. A k24a2 (TSX) with a rsx s 6 spd trans would be the best for a em2.

weren't there 2001 honda preludes? so if you have an 01 vic you can swap an h22 in? plus there were a few 2001 integras no? so you could technically do that. but yeah, $$ is an issue since everything will have to be custom.

Yes preludes had h22's in them so i guess you could swap it. On the other hand integra's never had H series engines in them only B series . like i said before you could do a k swap and be better off better power and a lighter engine then a H and about the same wieght as a B

aye, i know they had the b series, im just saying that there were a few 01 integras. so if you really want and have an 01 you could throw a b in there, but i do agree that the k is the best way to go.

i begg to differ. there is plenty of power to be made in a b series.

come to think of it you could also swap in a b20 from a crv c0onsidering they were also produced in 01. b20z makes good power and if you swap a few parts around from an ls motor you can make good power. not to mention doing a headswap from a b18c or b16 and little mods can make 200whp on a b20

people tend to go for the k24 out of the crv's for the extra displacement/power over the b20.

i realize this but the op doesnt. he wants it done cheaply. even though we both know that in the long run the the k series would be the best

I think it was more of a idle inquiry than anything else. There's a reason people don't habitually swap B-series into EM's and ES's.

turbo the d17 if you're not planning on adding more power to the k20, you'll save your self a sh*t load of money doing turbo for about the same power.. i think you'll be happy w/ d17 t3 turbo or even with a smaller t25 will spoolquick
