Honda Engine got blown! Want to replace with more powerful engine!
Hi All,
I have a 99 Civic Special Edition (which is basically a base model with A/C), and my engine just got blown. I'm looking for a replacement engine, but since I'm paying money to replace an engine, might as well pay a little extra and get a more powerful engine! However, I know that putting in a different engine will require a lot of work and modifications (translation: labour costs), I was told I had to change the Power Steering, A/C, Transmission, and maybe even the Engine bay. My question is, what is the best Engine to fit in my car, with the least amount of trouble??? (or is it just not worth it, and I should just replace it with the same engine?) I believe my car has a B16Y7 engine |

Honda Engine got blown! Want to replace with more powerful engine!
Thank you for your reply!
My Transmission is a Manual. So in this case, I need to accomodate the V-tec etc etc?? Would that be expensive to do? Say compared to just replcaing the engine with the same one? I don't have much money, I'm actually borrowing to fix this car. But I thought if I am throwing money away might as well gain some HP!
