Can a civic engine be swapped for a B16A?
Well the B16a sounds nice but it is NOT a direct bolt on to the 88-91 Civics. You will need engine mounts, wiring harness and other little parts that will give you a major headache. I recommend this swap to anyone that has extensive knowledge about Honda engines, or better yet have a professional swap it in.

Ok so my ’97 Civic 150i is running a little to slow for my liking. I want it to be able to hang with a 2.0.

What do I need to convert a standard Civic into a Honda?
At a minimum you will need a d series vtec head, a new ecu, and the wiring harness. (and probably need to replace a few more things like gaskets while doing the swap) also a new timing belt and water pump i believe. Your mechanic friend is probably just saying cool things you could do.
What’s the difference between SOHC and VTEC in Honda Civic?
The difference is with SOHC there is a common camshaft for both intake and exhaust valves. where as with DOHC there are separate cams. VTEC is a variable valve timing system which is engaged at higher RMPs so you get better performance when you need it and don’t burn extra gas and risk wear on your engine riding around at lower RPMs.
