i'm dropping in a B18b right now and i'm trying to use as many parts possible from my B18c1. Please help me out. I'd prefer to use which ever part will perform better between the B18b <> B18c1 Both of the motors are complete so i can choose to swap which ever parts are necessary.

same set up in my sig minus the b18c1

supabang

anyone??? i'm currently working on the motor as you are reading this so any help would be appreciated.

supabang

since i have not gotten any reply, i'm going ahead and swapping the b18b (jdm) manifold with my b18c1 (US) manifold. hope it works out

ls and gsr manifolds have different flanges. it wont fit.

What is wrong with your b18c motor?

carcala

yeah is there anything even wrong?? ur better off keeping the b18c motor if nothing is wrong. you can also rebuild the motor and use the ls crank and rods then some pistons. also if the b18c block is bad u can do an lsvtec b18b block b18c head.

i need new rings on the b18c. My plan is to pull the b18c out and have it built one part at a time when i get the money. I mean sleeved and all that good stuff. but since im not financially able to follow thru, i figured a $750 b18b would keep me boosting till i finish my gsr build. Also i found out the hard way that the manifolds do not fit. Anything else i should know about? i'm still working on the swap. help please. i dont want to miss anything.

750 for a B18B1? Ouch. Unless you want to grab an LSVTEC conversion kit and throw your GSR head on there, just leave it alone.

supabang

i think $750(after taxes) is a reasonable price for a 35k motor with 6month warranty delivered to my door. the motor is a JDM B18b (not b18b1) If i get this, its best for me to just leave the motor as is and drop it in? All mounts and ect will fit in my 92' Hatch ? I am also mating the b18b with my gsr tranny. I'll think about the LSVTEC conversion kit later. right now im focused on getting the motor to run. I'm very eager to see what numbers i'll be pulling on the dyno. i'll be running the same turbo set up as in my sig. befor burning my rings, i was at 273whp limiting at 6k rpm about 8psi. any guesses on what kind of numbers this motor will pull?

well guys, day 2 of swapping. so far the only issues i've come across is a few sensor clips that i can not find to plug in. i'm using the original wire harness off the b18c1 and this motor is a jdm b18b. i know the vtec sensors would be left off, but what about the other 3 or so? anyone ?????

ndogg

one of them is probably evap purge. JDM do not have then (at least my JDM b18c didn't). knock sensor is probably one too. pics would help.

supabang

Day 3 !! SWAP is almost complete. Everything seems to be in order. But wont start! i thought my p28 tuned for the previous b18c1 would at least allow this b18b to start up but i was wrong. now im in need of some one that can burn a base map for me. HELP ????

Could've sent you a JDM B20 for 750 shipped to your door bro...30 day warranty included.

If your under the impression you can boost that motor, blow it up, and then get it warrantied...your highly mistaken.

supabang

from what i recall, a b18 is more likely to handle boost better then a b20 due to the stock sleeves being weak. but yeah. the price is decent and no im not looking to boost the motor and blow it hoping that the warranty covers. im sure everyone on here that boost knows we get no love when it comes to warranty.

ps. still looking for some one that can burn chips... i need at least a base map to start the car and make sure the motor runs

carcala

ur car shoud atleast start up with ur old map. i can make u a base map if interested.

supabang

yeah, thats what i thought too, but the previous tune was on dyno and the car bearly ran anyways. now the car will kind of start up but just puffs and dies. im waiting on a call from Do-It-Dyno so hopefully i get a call in the next half hour like they said. just going stright to dyno the car. i'll def hit you up if anything. thanks

93supercoupe

if the car ran with the P28, it will run the LS.

Get the car re-tuned and turn the boost up.

supabang

so i got a chipped P06 and the car runs now. the map was copied from an almost 95% identical set up as mine. idle and all seem fine. but now i got a check light and i also blow smoke at boost. any ideas ????

supabang

my baby is currently at Do-It-Dyno awaiting a TPS sensor I'll post my results soon as i get them. Any educated guesses on what numbers the set up will pull ?

supabang

just got back from the dyno.
