Get the upper edge advantage with JDM Civic engines

:: JDM Civic ::

The JDM Civic B16B engines would be one of the greatest swaps you could make for your 5G Civic if it weren’t for two heart-breaking factors: a low 1.6L displacement and a very high price. If money isn’t an issue this engine could represent one of the best JDM civic parts you could invest on since it scores an impressive 184 HP at a whopping 8200 RPM. This Japanese engine’s tradeoff is that its low displacement allows for only a torque of 118 lb. Being only found in the Japanese market, as it was designed for the Type R 97 Civic, finding this engine can also become a drag.

If you insist on wanting this JDM motor installed in your Civic in spite of price and small displacement, it can be done. The B16B fits perfectly in the 5G’s engine bay so no expensive engine mounts would be required for an effective swap. However because this has OBD2, necessary alterations would be needed since 5G are originally setup for OBD1. Apart from this, the B16B is a VTEC powered engine so you need to rewire the whole thing to get the best performance out of the engine. The best bets to find this Japanese domestic market engine would be to look for it in a big online market place such as eBay.
