Rep Power: 0 98 HX Coupe best swap?
Got a tired 98 HX Coupe 5-speed. D16Y5 1.6L SOHC VTEC-E.
195,000 miles. Love my car.
Noticed a little smoke the other morning.
Still get killer mileage 38+. I drive 70 miles a day, 5 days a week.
Need to get a plan together. Looking for the easiest swap VTEC OBD2 with a little more power. I have 15" wheels so I could use a little more torque to get things rolling.
Ideas on the best engine swap?
Who is the best engine dealer on the west coast in or around Sacramento Area?

Well a lot of people will say there opinion.. there is no best swap if ask me.. it all depends on goals and price range. I personally like my b18c1.. it has decent power stock and is not a huge price tag.. but other people will say something else. So what are your goals.? And price rang?

My opinion would be the b18. That's what I had in my ek before it got stolen, they took everything motor turbo body parts ect.
The rebirth of the civic, I gave up the life of my 97 prelude with JDM fully built turbo swap motor Ive been working on the pasted years.
So now it's a beast on the streets with 538whp
I was JDMpreludeKing on preludeonline
