Sorry if something like this has been covered before. I couldn’t find a post about it. I’m the second owner of a 92 civic Si hatch with the stock motor. I’m 17 years old and just have done some basic modifications to my car. Full tanabe coilovers, Apexi ws2, skunk2 short shifter. I want to make my car faster. I have two ideas going right now. Have a b18b1 swapped into my car or buy a jdm single cam and rebuild that out of the car then drop it in. The only problem with that is that I have never done any engine building before. The most mechanical work I have done on my car is putting on an intake and changing the oil and breaks. Basically what I’m trying to ask is if someone with my credentials can buy a helms manual and get my hands dirty and build a fresh successful motor within a few months time? I have no idea how hard it is but I’m really leaning towards wanting to build my own motor because the experience would be great. But I really don’t want to try to do it to find that its impossible to do or just something that I try to do but it ends up not working and the problems never end.
What should I do?
