The motor in my 1996 Honda Civic EX, 1.6L SOHC VTEC D16Y8 is shot, and I'm looking to swap another motor into it, but on a budget. I'd just go out and buy another car, but I dont have 3 or 4 grand for another car, so I'm wondering if there are any swaps possible for this car that uses all or most of the same parts in my car, also if possible an engine that is like a 1.7 or 1.8L...something like an 01 or never civic engine?I thought about the B18B..but didn't that only come in a 1993-1995 Honda Civic? I would have to get the engine, trans, ecu OBD2 to OBD1 harness, axles, half shafts, shift linkage and rear motor mounts? Plus If I have an engine in my car thats older than my car, thats totally illegal and won't pass inspection. I'm just trying to find a motor that will almost directly bolt in without having to swap out almost everything.
