Change engine or Buy car with the engine?

[Ken Dominguez]

Hi tsikot it's my first post here.

I just want to hear your opinions regarding with my plan of changing my engine into d15b vtec. My current ride is a 92 civic hatchback with ph12 engine and i already put some money on it.

My Question:

1. Its better to sell my current car and buy a hatch equipped wiith d15? (considering it's mileage).
2. or change engine which cost around 65k and low mileage from japan?

hope i did right post in this section.

Thank you.

Change engine nalang sir. Pero dapat fresh surplus.
Kasi pag change car, di mo alam history nung car.
At least pag change engine, alam mo mismo kasi ikaw bumuo.
Keep your old engine or sell it whole or part out para makatipid ka pdg:beer::beer:

Peace out!

Pag nagpalit kang makina, you might want to replace the tranny to maximize your new engine's potential. Just my 0.02 worth.

how did you know that the engine you are getting is a low mileage engine from japan?

maybe the seller would inform me before tear down of the car.

any reputable shops that you can recommend? kasi ipa ship ko pa sa bacolod city so di ko makilatis ng mabuti yung engine before ipadala.

Thanks

change engine if your keeping the car for sentimental value. upgrade to a sir body civic if daily driven.

are you into racing? drag or track? yes ph12 tranny will give you better time quarter mile but everyday car, mapipikon ka kasi short gear ratio. If your plan is for track day, ok d15 but if your planning for a better base line engine, get a b16a.

initial d sa evangelist makati lang alam ko that has good surplus engines. better ship the car to Manila and get the upgrade here than ship without test to bacolod. wala warranty yan Lalo na kung hindi sila magkakabit.

Plan ko kasi na build pang quarter mile na class D at pang week end car ko lang to. maganda yung b16a kaso medyo mahal kung b series b18 nalang .

Baka too expensive yung trip pa manila compare ship engine.


One more thing Nag Change Engine ba ang Honda casa?

yep mahal nga b series makina. d15 and ph12 for play time is good in my opinion. yun nga lang isang araw baka mabagalan ka na d15.hehe

mas expensive kung papaship oto pero at least makikitang umandar muna. baka maloko kasi. but it's your risk. I don't know if gumagawa ng change engine casa pero kung oo, malamang sobrsng mahal.

If you're planning to keep the car forever, go ahead and change the engine. BUT if you're planning to sell it after a few years, then I suggest don't. A car which has undergone the process of engine swapping is ridiculously hard to sell.
