I was given an eg civic from my grandad who passed away.
Now because honda engines are known for being slow I was thinking I could put a 4age engine in there and destroy all the other civics with toyota power / suprise people with it having okay power for a little 1.6 liter.
I was thinking the turbo engine from a starlet gt might also work.
I don't want a honda engine because hondas are slow.
I've seen all the memes on the internet.
Do you think a 4age is a bad choice?
Jose Watson

Ryan Thompson
How is this bait?
If hondas are fast than why do so many people on facebook say they are slow?
Everybody knows civics are slow.
Anthony Howard
Wow epic thread op! Really thought out my friend
Christian Taylor
how much do you want to spend? what kind of roads do you live around?
if you live on some smooth and curvy mountain roads, you should just do a typical b16 build with a 6 speed with some cheapish coilovers, rear disc swap, nice vented rotors up front, and some sporty tires from a good company
if you live in an area with straight and long roads with minimal potholes you pretty much need a k20 swap with a turbo to make it fun because 300whp+ is the only thing that will keep it interesting
if you live in an area with long and straight roads with no potholes just keep it stock, otherwise you'd have too much power for the suspension to handle or your suspension would be too low and it would be awful to drive around
Cameron Thomas
that last one was supposed to be 'with lots of potholes'
Alexander Johnson
VTAKS mini.
Cooper Torres
>How would one build a decent honda?
>Buy Honda >K swap it >Turbo it >??? >Fast Honda
Christopher Anderson
I want a decent engine not a slow honda meme engine.
Brody Lee
Love the 4A-GE myself, but thinking it's better than the K series is fucking stupid
Samuel Turner
>tfw actually do want to learn if 4age in a 90s honda is possible but op ruined it
Owen Edwards
you're grandad is a moron and im glad hes dead. Good fucking riddance
Angel Sullivan
>hondas are slow >then what is gayiata
Gavin Collins
You need the 2jz. It will decimate all
Carter Gonzalez
Nice try op, b8
Brody Murphy
but im not op
Christopher Barnes
Haha you almost got me there bud, b8
Jayden Campbell
wheres the b8
Jackson Adams
>I've seen all the memes on the internet
Kek OP, really subtle. I like it.
I'll assume youre really naive, if Honda engines suck, why do some people who have an AE86 bother swapping a F20, or putting a K20 in a an MR2?
Thomas Sanchez
stop replying to him and if you know just say how a 4age swap would work stop replying to shitposters
John Bennett
Not him, but the only way to get a 4A to work in a Honda would be with customers fabbed mounts to sit in the bay right, then you have to determine if you have to fab an adaptor plate to work with the Honda trans or if you want to use a Toyota trans, then you have to fab custom mounts for the trans if you go Toyota, then you have to figure out if you're going to use the Toyota ECM or a standalone like AEM EMS or MS3, then it has to be programmed if you go standalone, then a customer exhaust would have to be fabbed
Should cost about $500 and a weekend
Jonathan Lewis
This thread is bait, but if I had a good condition EG I would start with a B16, B18, or B20 swap. Look up the differences and find witch fits your needs best. Make sure and install a LSD into the trans before putting it into the car. I/H/E and some mild cams. New rotors and pads from EBC or Hawk. Koni or Bilstein shocks with ground control sleeves. 14" or 15" wheels 7" or 8" wide with something like BS RE-71R or BFG Rival S tires. Various frame bracing throughout the chassis. And thats pretty much it.
Ayden Gutierrez
>B series
even a D16Z6 is better than the 4AGE lmao
4As are really terrible
Jackson Sanchez
>ECU why not just carb it
Robert Wilson
>Has anyone ever done this before?
Why are you asking Veeky Forums this?
Luke Powell
You could, buy carbs are shit compared to ecu's, without question
Joseph Young
Wrong
Josiah Perez
get off of Veeky Forums grandpa
Wyatt Barnes
Then why do experts carb the Honda B18c? They're experts?
How much is a 4age and the things it needs anyway? Is it cheaper to get a 4age and swap that in with carbs then to get a Honda engine and swap that in?
I dont know my family but a carb 4age in a honda sounds fun
Cameron Gomez
Source on that bullshit, no expert carbs a B18C
Alexander Campbell
hardly anyone carbs B18s what are you smokin
Dylan Lewis
Also, it's a hell of a lot more expensive to swap a 4A just due to the labor of putting in a separate manufacturers engine into a car it never came in
Landon Davis
I took a picture of the engine bay. Will a 4AGE fit in there?
Jack Sullivan
Why is there a ls3 in your honda?
Ayden Russell
>Spoon™ parts Why do you need to mod it any further, you already have a godmachine
Julian Campbell
>image.jpg >implying that's an actual image of his engine
Step it up senpai
Juan Foster
want bread?
Noah Powell
Well since you asked, what do you think faggot?
Isaac Morales
Idk. i just want to make my honda fast. maybe a diesel engine? since the honda has no torque.
John Jackson
Why don't you sell it if all your going to do is bitch about it?
Andrew Hall
K20 makes torque, it just makes that torque at a high rpm. Shift later.
Brody Hill
If i sell it i won't have a car anymore. and even if i try and sell it no one wants to buy a crappy honda like this anyway.
If i try and shift later the engine makes a funny noise. and I don't want to break it since i don't know what engine i will swap in it.
Asher Parker
>No one wants to buy a crappy Honda like this anyway
Then give it to someone who won't be an ungrateful little shit like yourself
Nathaniel Taylor
Stop replying to this shit thread
Kayden Bailey
Its a good thread about engine swaps. Fuck off if you hate it
Christopher Lewis
I think OP is genuine, idk :^)
Xavier Campbell
pretty much every thread on Veeky Forums is shit
Grayson Smith
Your shit
Nicholas Gomez
My shit? What about it :^)
Noah Myers
>being a grammar Nazi Ur a shet
Nicholas Davis
I think this might be a good engine. Its my uncles car.
I can probably convince him to swap his cars engine into mine. If i can put the honda engine into his car. It says turbo on it, so i think its alright.
Is it any good?
Austin Bailey
I know this is bait, but damn are you bad at hiding it.
Matthew Ward
lmao slam a RB26DETT already famalam.
Lucas Butler
>wanting to experiment with engine swaps is b8
Grayson Morales
I want to go with the spirit of 4 cylinders
Jaxson Campbell
k series is a slow honda engine
they don't make fb memes for nothing
Jackson Roberts
Because some people are idiots.
Ryder Flores
Swap a b16a in it and boost it. You will be faster than 99% of cars on the road.
Jeremiah Evans
Fucking kill yourself
Owen Lopez
>Kill yourself for wanting a decent engine.
Ayden Campbell
I'm a die hard Toyota guy but even I can't deny that Honda makes some god tier engines.
K swap mang.
Angel Ramirez
Explain all the facebook memes and shit posting about hondas on here than you mong.
Jaxon Morgan
baka mang jus bating shiiiiieeet rayciss whiteboi
Samuel Ward
memes aren't real kid
Jacob James
s-m-h is filtered? raycsiss af
William Campbell
What do you mean they aren't real wtf?
Memes have got to be based of something and that is hondas are shit because the engines are slow. i just want advice on what engine to swap so i can beat v8s
>he doesn't know k20 >he doesn't know build >he doesn't know swap >he can't afford either >he thinks his 8 cylinders will save him from getting rekted
Leave the poor civic alone, OP. Sell it to some beaner and leave the ricing to him. Then with that money, go to the ford mustang store, take out a loan at 19% interest and download the base model mustang. You will be happier with it, trust me.
Aaron Cox
honda kids on suicide watch.
Jose Wilson
>those roads Wow no wonder they just shitpost on here
Nathan Ward
are you fucking stupid? >k series is a slow honda engine just stop. 0/10 for making me reply
Bentley Barnes
The k engine is slow. thats why i want to put a 4b11t in my honda which is better in everyway.
Wyatt Adams
haha, u rekt that fag user
this is now a rekt threaD
Jace Cook
>The k engine is slow. thats why i want to put a 4b11t in my honda which is better in everyway. HAHAHAHA
Nolan Sullivan
In this thread.
Honda morons get rekt.
Anthony Nguyen

The honda k20 is a shit. the memes are right.
Dominic Davis

Eli Watson
>economy engines made for getting my mum to the shops
85mm bore tall deck B series with B17 crank VTEC head, 4-1 manifold and Weber 45s
Liam Martinez
If you like facebook memes and going fast just fucking LS swap it and call it a day OP you stupid faggot.
Luke Diaz
Are you implying LS engines can not go fast?
I could put a big turbo on my mums camry and make 605hp on stock internals...
Doesn't mean it's a good engine.
Joseph Rodriguez
you can boost an k27z7 on stock internals and make the same horsepower you fuck. or a 2.2 liter f22 from the s2k can make more horsepower than the mivec turbo
honda makes good engines (at least, when compared to other small 4 cylinders), if anything, complain about the FF layout.
Jeremiah Garcia
> k engine is slow > revs faster than every other engine mentioned
k bro
Hunter Robinson
>Honda makes good engines. >FB is full of nothing but memes about civics being slow
>People commenting on "Lol. id never be a ricer and drive a civic...
Aaaaaannddd yet somehow you think civic motors are good.
Owen Robinson
yes if only they had dropped in a thirsty, unreliable 9 litre 350hp lump of pig iron and went somewhat faster in a straight line, it would truly show how great they are at designing engines
