Ej1 D to B series Swap - Is B16 or B18 easier to find and less expensive?
Hello there H-T, so I recently broke my Rod Bearing on my 95 Civic Ex & I figured it's the perfect time to Do a Engine Swap. I actually don't plan on doing the swap until maybe around the end of summer due to No job at the moment.
Anyways, I was looking for some advice, recommendations, anything that you people here on H-T would like to say to help out. I don't know everything about engines but I was a Mechanic Intern I guess you can call it for about 7 months recently. I'm always open to learning new things I'm hoping to use my First time swap as a great learning experience. From now until I begin to start working on my civic I plan on learning more and more (:
I'm very excited and I am going to start planing, I am thinking of going with either a B16 or a B18.. Any stories or experiences you guys would like to share are more than welcomed. I will post some pictures I have of my car tomorrow.

So you've decided on B16 or B18 swap. Which one interests you most? What specific technical questions not covered in the FAQs sticky do you have about the swap of your choice?

Well I'm still finding out more about both engines, I'm leaning more on the B16, but I've read many times that it's hard to find a good one without having it have a ton of miles on it. As for The B18 I'm still doing my research on it. Currently i don't have any technical questions. Only things I am wondering are Which would be an easier to find, and less expensive..?

no doubt that b16 is easier to find and will be cheaper than b18 , but...b18c5/c6 have bigger potencial and will give u much more pleasure from driving and rev it

There are multiple types of B18's. If you're going to give information, give full information, otherwise you're giving wrong information.

I have a feeling someone would have to shove an ice pick through their eye socket to understand what you're babbling about.
This whole thread is nothing but an opinion poll, and is bringing all of the idiots out from under their rocks. Why is it not locked yet?

i agree with you, that was my plan either turbo the b20b or put a vtec head on my b20b in the future. then if i still have it put a stroker kit on it.

I never knew or Atleast never read about being able to change just the head of the engine and that would add vtec... I guess I learned something new again !
