  • We're doing an engine swap in a 1994 Honda Civic GSR. It was built with an $8,500 budget but now it's time to up the power. We're taking out the 1.5 four banger and swapping in a 1.8 twin cam GSR engine from an '95 Acura Integra.

    Man, I’m glad I’m old. Three to $4000 for the engine now I think I spent little over 2500 to swap the GSR transmission and engine into my EG hatchback about 15 years ago prices on these motors gone insane. I dated a girl back in 2008. We swapped the F20 C into her Toyota Corolla for about $6000.

      Same here @43yo I’ve done this numerous times I got into Hondas when I was 16 so around 1996 and it gave me my career! Doing this swap actually was my first taste of tuning, then Went to work for American Honda! Now 20 Hondas and 15 swaps later I still keep a toy or 2 in the yard to hit some curvy backroads of North Carolina! There was no greater feeling than that ride in your first swapped Hb or coupe, it was worse than a drug habit, spending every dime possible to get parts or replace tires, but I would t change a thing well maybe I would have kept a SI or 2 bone stock and put them up Function before Fashion always!

      Old head here too: Things have definitely went up but only a little bit if you check it with inflation calculator. Still cheap to run and maintain though the K is the way right now unless seeking oldschool B series for (insert reason)

    • @drevil5546
      @drevil5546 Місяць тому

      I think its because things have moved onto K series, and the B engines are relatively old, more rare, and less supported. Support goes where the money flows.

    Bruh, homeboy's mullet is KICKIN! I did this same swap into my 1997 EJ8 Civic coupe with a fully built PR3 CTR head, Skunk2 Stage 3 NA cams, fully modified valvetrain and S2 LMAs (Lost Motion Assemblies), a S2 Ultra Race 3.5L intake manifold, a S2 90mm throttle body, along with WAY too many mods to list in a UA-cam comment. Tuned on a P28 ECU with Hondata S300 V3 with a Rywire tuck engine harness and a modified 1.06 AR exhaust housing Garrett GTS3582 dual ball bearing turbo with a billet compressor wheel at 34 psi it made 709 wheel horsepower through a GSR trans with a LS 5th gear and a modified OBX LSD. Talk about a bad Honda. My buddy across town had a EG hatch with a B20VTEC that made 832 whp at 38 psi.

    Oh how times have changed!!!!!!!!!
    Back then would have never imagined I could get almost 200 hp out of an a NA NATURALLY ASPIRATED all motor D16Z6
    I have a 1995 Honda Civic coupe EX TRIM MODEL unlike the DX in the video I got the single overhead cam vtec d16z6 1.6
    I remember back then if you could get almost 200 hp out of a B series you felt pretty fast!
    I have built plenty of b-series k-series h-series and j series over the last 20 years but it was fun to build something different this time around and challenged myself with seeing how much power I can squeeze out of an all motor d-series
    I will say I have pissed off A LOT of friends and random people with their dohc dual overhead cam swaps
    But now I have a k24 block and a K20 head easily 240 wheel NA all motor in my 95 Civic
    And 320 HP NA 04 Honda Accord V6 6-speed manual coupe hfp Honda factory performance package with a full bolt on j series 🤘🤘🤘🤙🤙🤙🤙👌👌
