B18B Swap into EM1
Hey,
I talked to some people on here earlier about getting a b18b for my 2000 civic Si, and it just came in today. And I am thinking about doing the swap myself with two of my friends.
I don't know much about it and I'm sure that a ton of people have done it before.
So if anyone has any advice, drawing, diagrams websites or etc. it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much

there really is no need for diagrams just your helms manual
just label every sensor plug and location
everything else is out with old and in with the new

Reuse everything else you already have on the car. The only thing you need to do is find an ls ecu and your set! you can even use the b16 header

'96 - '99 LS + OBD2B to OBD2A adapter harness
or
'00 - '01 LS ECU with the immobilizer removed (PM Honda-Tech member Katman if you want to go this route, he has a service where he removes the factory immobilizer and replaces it with a dummy unit to prevent a CEL, last I heard he was charging $100)

awesome motor??? b16??? been drinking??

yes good, but get some pistons to up compression to a respectable level, and throw some cams/valvesprings in it while your at it. **** will run great.
