Ok, Auto link motorworks in temple city put a b18c1 in my civic, Now, everything is good with the swap but here is my question. I went to change the cap & rotor, and when I took off the stock cap, I noticed writing on the distributor that said p73, Isn't that a type R distributor?? And my parts that I purchased for my ignition like the wires, plugs, and rotor are still going to work, even though the are for a gsr?Because the gsr cap that I purchased is too small, so I am pretty sure that it isn't even worth trying to put it on. So all i have to do is get a type R distributor cap right??

 

Cap/rotor/wires should all be interchangeable.

And how do you know the cap you bought is too small, yet you haven't tried putting it on yet?

Justin

 

Yes I tried putting the cap on, but it was too small. Unless they sent me the wrong cap???

 

probably the wrong cap.
B16a/b17a/b18c all the same

 

The cap fits on my brothers b16, So if they are all interchangable, then why wouldnt it fit on my b18c1. Would a type r distributor require a different cap??

 

Nope.
Im using a b16a cap right now

 

Make sure you buy a honda cap, cause aftermarket ones tend to not fit well, or be pos's... I've seen a number of aftermarket caps go bad, or just not fit well. This even goes for quality aftermarket caps...

 

i just know there is difference between a LS and vtec motor, coz i just changed one yesterday. the non-vtec one is smaller.
