Rep Power: 0 F20c swap?
ive been researching cool unheard of swaps like b18 in place of D17 which apparently is illegal. and i came across this while researching a video game lol. It was an F20c swap into a 2000 integra i looked it up cuz i hadnt heard of this particular engine code and was curious. Apparently its the 2.0 S2000 RWD motor and i saw that it had been swapped into a could of 5th gen civics which i so plan on getting one soon i love em. Anyhow would this be possible in the 7th gen or is there truley something that special bout the 95 hatchy. any howi think this would be a dope swap imean a RWD civic .....NICE
ok off topic how the hell do i add my sig to my posts i realize i did it wrong any help sorry ty

with enough moeny and resources, you can put any engine in our civic.
people have put the LS7, s2000, J series...etc in the civic.

Not sayin I would I love my d17 like I said I was just looking for outlandish swaps and came across that I alot of times come across great deals like a b18 in good cond. for 300$ I drove it and it was perfect just needed a fuel rail the gas in NH is still leaded so it tends to junk stuff up but I thought should I come across a deal id take it

Someone gave me a running b18. it's sitting in my closet.
The issue with swapping in anything except a k-series is that you need to make custom parts and not many of us, myself included, have the resources or skills to do that. If you swap in a b18 you'll need to custom make the exhaust, mounts, modify the intake, work out all the wiring yourself, figure out what subframe to run and possibly modify it.. i could go on. The reason kswaps are actually not that difficult is that those engines are stock in cars fundamentally similar to ours, besides, b-series are dated and you can buy cheap k engines for $500.

then you should check out this site, there's not much in terms of simple pictures to ogle but it is truly an amazing project. Carbon brakes, magnesium wheels, penske dampers...

Exotic swaps - they don't ask how to do, they simply go and do it. Fabricating and stuff included, so you are a step behind just for having asked
