How to put a big engine in an old civic and how expensive is it?
I'm a long time civic lover and have a perfect 1989 honda civic with plenty of money to blow on it and want to make it as fast as possible. Its 5 speed standard with a swapped engine on it. What kind of Engine would you consider putting in? What will i have to do to the transmission ect. Price too please.
That is really a lot to answer. Street legal or not?
As fast as possible, how about a Jet engine?
Anything from V6 to V8 to Corvette engines, dual turbo etc. Etc.
You will most likely have to replace the tranny to match the power of the motor. The only remaining Civic on it will be the body.
Just look up Honda forums, since there are actually people who had done this, they will be the one to know. Since shops don't do much of this type of work since they are not practical unless the owner sheds a lot of money to it.
Find out the engine family, what motor will fit your bell housing, may need to be refereed if in cali, if so needs to be newer than the veh you put it in, has to have all systems (smog) working, has to be certified by referee station in cali
I would go with a built b16a dual overhead cam vtech puts out 200 stock i believe of coarse you can put different cams cold air intake or a turbo kit. Can easily get 400hp with that configuration
- Which brands of cars are more reliable and less expensive to maintain? I have been driving American cars, Honda, Toyota and they're easy to find parts when something go wrong. I would like to buy a Volkswagen beetle or a European car. Like 2004 or 2003 Volkswagen beetle. If something go wrong, does it cost more to fix it? Is maintenance more expensive than a Honda or a Toyota yaris. I know the Honda and Toyota last forever after a few hundred thousand miles and they re still in excellent running condition with regular services. What do you guys think?
- Difference between driving in a big car and a small car? So I've been practice driving with my mom's Honda pilot. What is different in a small car when driving.

- 2004 Honda Pilot! I did an oil change today check the manual for the engine oil capacity, it is 4.8 liters and put 4.4 liters and add .5 ltr? Total engine oil put is 4.9 liters and I'm surprised the dipstick is above the second hole by 10mm. Is it overfill or do i need to remove some?
- Is the honda cbr 500 a good first bike and how expensive is the insurance and cost?
