b16a+dc=FTL

DC's are heavier than Civics which means they need a wee bit more torque to get going. a b16 isn't gonna do that for it. If you can find an ls block and do an ls/vtec setup I'd say go for it. But if the major thing wrong with it is the paint I'd say go for it.

I'm not very machanically inclined to succesfully complete an ls vtec swap, not sure if it would be in my budget.

Think I could possibly pull off buying it then a DIY turbo kit?
the guy above has no idea wtf he is talking about

My friend has a 4dr Gsr w/ B16(has a 2.0 in it now) and he dailyed it for ever..the car ran well and pulled good being just the 1.6 also surprisingly beat a lot of other cars on the normal street driving. He even went on and put on a t3 turbo kit on it and it still ran good. he dyno'd 260whp @ 10psi. motor never had a problems, blew a little smoke but what turbo car doesnt

civic coupes - dc's are about 200lbs difference, hatchs are about 3-400

But the car will be fine with the b16...hell ive seen DC's driving around with D16s

Experience> Reading.

That doesn't seem to be a bad deal for that car.

Whats the trans code say? Usually there is a stamp that says LSD in black righting on the transmission casing.

2500 dollars doesn't seem too bad.

Where are you located? I sold my turbokit recently to someone on here for a B16a in a 92-95 civic. with little modifiacation to the charge piping it should work. It was 100% complete even with the oil pan. Hes intersted in selling it now because he got worked by a c5 corvette in his mustang or something like that.

Depending on where you are, I could help you install it.

And to the dude who said b16+dc=ftl... ironic you got a gs-r w/ a LS swap

:heres your sign:
