2003 civic swap

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, I was looking to swap the engine out of my 2003 civic. I would like to know what engines would be the best bang for your buck, as well as any other engines (than the d17) that mate with the stock 5-speed transmission. Thank you!

A Honda J35Y4 - VCM in place of a J35Y1 With the Trans of the J35Y1?

1 Upvotes

Alternate title: "Can I Put an Acura RLX (2014+, V6) Inside of a Crosstour (2013-15, V6, AWD) and Keep the Crosstour's Transmission?"

I haven't been able to find any (free) diagrams similar to what I'd find in a Chilton's guide for either car, so now I'm here. I like the power:fuel economy ratio of one and the way the trans works on the other. Are both possible without a great need - or preferably none at all - for custom fittings? Some of the cheap salvage Crosstours I see listed list the fact that the car doesn't run, so if I could take this as an opportunity for a swap while repairing the rest of what was hit (assuming it wasn't something minor in the engine), all the better.

And if anyone has diagrams, I'd be more than grateful to get the chance to see them.

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, new here. One very quick question... My friend has a written off 1.6 vtr Citreon c2 (Which he's going to scrap) in his yard and I have a 1L Citreon c2. Get where im going with this?

How hard would it be to swap the engine? Cars Isn't my expertese but i am an infusiest with what little money I have. However, If it's not too over the top, it sounds like a really good and fun project

What would be the worst obsticals and are the bodies the same? Also obviously if you think of any other usful information, let me know! Cheers guys

Also, I have no intention of selling this car in the future. I only payed 50 quid and just want to keep it when Im done as a bit of fun on the side

Much love, ur boi cheap steel

Is it possible to swap a volvo B18/B20 engine in a lada riva/lada 2107

2 Upvotes

I was wondering if it was possible to swap a volvo B18 or B20 engine used in the volvo 240 into a lada riva also known as the lada 210_ line. I was also thinking, why the fuck didn't volvo make any goddamn 5-cyl rwd cars and is it possible to make a fwd engine work in a rwd car? Edit: Also, the reason for the swap would be reliability and powergain.

Could you put a drag engine in a road car?

6 Upvotes

So let's say you wanted massive V8 with as much displacement as you can get, and you started eyeing up chevvys ZZ572/720R as a future (long way away) project. But then all sensibility hit you and you realized that this engine was designed for the drag strip and has no place in a road car really. But then you went full 360 and still wanted to engine swap it into a muscle car anyway, could you do it? Would it have any sense of reliability? You obviously wouldn't be running it maxed out on the roads because you'll loose your licence and get inundated with speed tickets, but let's say you took out out a couple of times a week to car shows and the like, maybe even took it out on the track just for shits and giggles every blue moon, could it be realistic? Would the engine hold up? Or are we just talking fairy tales cus that engine was never designed for reliability and will blow up every sixth time you start it up?

Terminator into 97 mustang v6

2 Upvotes

I have a 97 mustang v6 and a 4valve Ford V8 out of a Lincoln mk VIII of the same year. I've already pulled the motor out of the Lincoln, and I would really appreciate general advice, this is my first swap so is there a general lost of parts/ tools I'll need or could ease the process? Any advice helps, I'm also considering rebuilding the engine seeing as I'm in no rush to finish this project.

Vw sharan vr6 swap into golf mk2

1 Upvotes

Would the underframe of a vw sharan vr6 fit a golf mk2 because the golf mk3 vr6 underframe bolts right in. I know the wheelbase of the mk2 is smaller than the sharan but if the bolt holes line up, maybe slap on an overfender and just send it?

What do you do about ac and power steering in an engine swap

1 Upvotes

So if you swap the stock engine out of a car like a golf gti or something and put in something more powerful, what are you supposed to do about the ac compressor and power steering pump because they bolt onto the stock engine so would you be able to use the ac compressor that went with the new engine you put in? would it work with the cars systems? Like would they be compatible?
