Personally I think a real 'Honda fanatic' would try new and exciting things with their vehicle, not just talk down and be condescending to others ideas.. He's not disrespecting anything, it's just a car dude, chill.. He likes them, you like them, I like them. Couldn't you have just given some actual advice?well don't come onto a honda fanatic site full of owners(as you clearly see my picture) and fans and talk about throwing hyundai stuff onto your civic its just flat out bad and f*cking cheesy to the max
I figured I just can't get my hands on a whole car. I was just wondering if I could swap everything out of that car into my little Civic. Honestly all stock the car flies as soon as it hits 3-4 the tires f**kin rip. No to mention it pulls like crazy from stop to go, would be twisted turboed. And my dad had a 91 prelude with a built b20a1 and it didn't pull as hard so I just wanted to make my fantasy car as fast as it should be.Personally I think a real 'Honda fanatic' would try new and exciting things with their vehicle, not just talk down and be condescending to others ideas..

@Stephen staly I don't think the swap would be cheap, probably some fabrication, custom mounts, possibly relocation, and wiring involved. It would probably even be more cost effective to just swap a higher displacement Honda engine into your Civic.
Also it's a 5 speed with a stage 2 clutchPersonally I think a real 'Honda fanatic' would try new and exciting things with their vehicle, not just talk down and be condescending to others ideas..

First, disregard the guy giving you grief.I thought it would be a cheap swap seeing as I have a hole parts car.
But I see you also have a red Civic? What do you have under the hood? But I was also thinking about turboing my d16@Stephen staly You should talk to a shop that does custom wiring, and fabrication work. They will explain to you the fundamentals of what you're getting into, in the long run I don't think it would be worth it. What with you more than likely being able to turbo a B-series for cheaper, which would pull much harder than an Elantra DOHC 2.0 and have much more aftermarket support.
Hey I have a red d16y7 with the 5 speed. Two door Dx lol but are the b18bs any good? Dohc? VTEC? Any good power? Never got into the Honda thing this deep. But I originally wanted to do a built bottom end h22 and possible turbo.@Stephen staly
The red ones about a week old now, automatic D16y7. Still haven't decided exactly what I'm going to do with it, but more than likely it will see a B18b.
I don't know much about the numbers people are putting down with turbo D series, I've seen some in 200's while scrolling the web. It probably takes a lot of work to make anything serious with them though, I'm not huge on forced induction.
Also how do you put a 95 or older motor in your car and still pass emissions, they can't be plugged in??? Or do they not have to be checked for it?@Stephen staly

Where I live, emissions are not a thing, and you can basically modify your car any which way you like and slap anything on it without a worry... I wouldn't be able to help you with that kind of stuff, unfortunately, it's never been a concern of mine. I've seen some weird stuff in my shop pass inspections, haha..Also how do you put a 95 or older motor in your car and still pass emissions, they can't be plugged in???

No s**t. What year integ? I would be interested in that. Plus a turbo lolB18b is the lower level engine, I think it's something like 130hp? Wikipedia could probably give you exact #'s.. They get pretty pricey for the higher HP and Vtec models.. I've had 2 Integras and replaced a couple of engines in them. They're very strong motors, can take a lot of abuse, but just like everything, can only handle so much. It was enough for me, personally. Set me back in my seat a little.. lol. You can build them relatively cheap and get decent numbers. I guess it's all about how much you're willing to put into it.
Well I'm not used to it either I had a 86 Nissan d21 2.4 no cat hi flow exhuast and all that s**t so I'm new to the emissions garbage.

Had a 2001 with 94k original on body and drivetrain, that was nice.. as well as a 95' which was nothing but trouble (timing belts breaking, among other things). Just a stroke of bad luck with that one, I guess.No s**t. What year integ? I would be interested in that. Plus a turbo lol
Huh. That sucks man, and theres a kid around my town with a sick ass 91 built to crazyness. Lol, Idk tho I think I'm just gonna turbo the elantra and do a wide body kit. Then build my civic later on. Thanks tho man, enjoyed the convo.Had a 2001 with 94k original on body and drivetrain, that was nice.. as well as a 95' which was nothing but trouble (timing belts breaking, among other things).
