Used Honda engines: the only performance limitation is in your imagination

:: used Honda engines ::

When you’re looking for used Honda engines it’s either because: you want to give life to a high performance hybrid or you just simply want to replace your broken down engine. You have basically two options when shopping for a used Honda engine: a national USDM second hand engine or an imported JDM engine. The problem with local Honda engines that have been used is that they have been REALLY used. Unless these motors are heavily rebuilt, you can’t expect them to have an acceptable performance, even more so if you’re planning to build a powerful hybrid. The beautiful thing about JDM Honda engines is that they are minimally used and fully compatible with the US manufactured automobiles.

The first thing to consider when embarking upon your engine swapping quest is to know exactly what you want. Are you a standard car user that just wants something to get from here to there for an affordable price? Or are you a hardcore enthusiast always looking for the edge no matter what cost that represents? Depending on your Honda car's make and model you can consider several interesting motor swaps to increase performance. For example, if you have a 93-95 Civic, you can choose from several engines from both the B-Series and the H-Series. There is a lot of flexibility in this particular model, and depending on your auto-mechanic skills, or those of a recruited professional, you can pull off amazing results.

Study your needs, make the search, make the decision

The B-series engines such as the B16A1, B16A2, B18B1, etc, are usually extracted from Honda Civic cars and Integra models from Japan. The more powerful H series are taken from Prelude models, and with certain modifications these engines can fit your Civic vehicle. The H22A motors are particularly famous in the swap world because of their high performance and unique setup flexibility.

Where to find a used Honda engine:

Finding one of these motors in good shape and low cost is as easy as logging into an online auction service such as eBay and performing a search for the model that most fits your needs.
