If I use a B18C3 in a 5th gen Civic, will the parts made for the B18 fit on the car? Or will I have to get Civic parts? Or will I have to do some fabrication?

What about in a 4th gen CRX?

Sorry. I'm new and didn't know there was a hybrid forum. I know you guys are gonna move it, but sorry for the inconvenience...

if ur talking about a gsr engine, get gsr engine parts. if your talking about the civic body itself, get civic parts

B18C3 is a SPOON-prepped Type R motor. I would NOT buy one. They are really intended for track use, and they have been known to blow quickly.

Plus I'm sure it will cost a LOT of money.

Be more specific with which parts you're asking about, and I can help you as well as others can too.

I've done a B18C1, B16A2, and B18C5 swap all in my 2 1992 Si hatches, so I'm pretty up on what you'll need and where to get it.

whoa, i was gonna say, b18c3 eh? where'd u get info on that b18c5-eh2?
lol...

ekekek

wow. i didnt know that. i thought he misspelled b18c1. o-well. thanx for the info.

B18C5-EH2

I'll try to help out even though the info provided is kind of slim.

Generally you'll need to purchase engine parts for that engine. Like for a B16A2 swap in a 1992 hatchback, you would get engine parts like belts, hoses, waterpumps, etc. for the 99-00 Civic Si coupe. If you get a B16A3 from a Del Sol, then get parts for a Del Sol. If you have a Type R or GS-R swap, then the same applies. I try to get the same year parts as my motor just to be 100% safe.

Stuff like exhausts? Buy it for the CAR. For a B16A, B18B, or B18C5 swap the exhuast will BOLT right up to the B-series header and cat combo.

B18C1 swaps require extending the 1992-1995 exhaust about 3 inches.

For any b-series motor with an upright single runner manifold you can buy an AEM intake for the 99-00 Civic Si and it works perfect.

For the B18C1 swap with the stock dual butterfly manifold you will need to buy a shirt ram intake for the Integra GS-R. The throttle body sits too low, and unless you customize the cold air intakes they do not fit properly.

What else?

BTW: I don't **** with the 1988-1991 **** - I'm not down with non-OEM looking mount kits and the extra hassles with wiring up OBDI and OBDII motors in pre-OBD cars

So if I were to use the B18C1 in a 5th gen, I would need GS-R belts, pulleys, and stuffo f that nature, but stuff like exhaust, header, intake, I will need Civic? What if I bought a turbocharger (since they don't make superchargers for B18C1s, or not that I have seen)? But the I/H/E will bolt right on? Or will I have to modify the parts?

actually, i'm pretty sure B18C3 is the engine code for replacement type-r motors from honda of japan, which just happens to be the engine that spoon uses.

How about LS/VTEC motors? How'd that work?

If I were to get a turbo/supercharger, I'd think I need the one for the cylinder head.

Correcto -
motor parts, belts, waterpumps, gaskets, etc... from the motor
exhaust, suspension, etc... remains the same (from the car) EXCEPT for headers + intake. Like B18C5-EH2 said, if you're runnin a B18C1 (94+ gsR motor), you'd run w/ the gsR header + get an extension pipe for the header to the cat. You can run other b-series headers, but the B18's are "taller" than the B16's, so the header might rub the oil pan or not clear @ all. Intake is also specific to the gsR, if you run the gsR intake manif. (2-stage) or the gsR head w/ the gsR intake manif., then you'd run the gsR intake (cold-air or short). GSR cold air will not go down the hold civic's do - it goes down behind the radiator overflow tank. Now if you had the "typical-style" intake manifold (that includs running a Skunk2 on a GSR motor, or other b18's and b16's), you could run the civic intake (I personally ran a '92-95 Civic cai on a '95 LS motor in my old eg hatchie). You can also run a 'teg intake (cai) from a TypeR or a LS.

Actually Jackson Racing has a supercharger for the gsR motor, no? (not sure)

hope that helps (danm its a lot of info )

Yep, you can also use "most" of the turbo kits for the car the motor came out of. ie: runnin a Greddy turbo kit for a gsR in a eg civic, you could use pretty much everything except for the piping (depends on the kit). Personally I'd try + find a turbo kit made for hybrids, as it'd be pretty much plug+play. I'm gathering my parts (manifold, turbo, wastegate, etc...) and having a muffler shop do custom mandrel bends for the piping to the intercooler, then having the piping ceramic coated (so it'd look cleaner). Options are wide open on turbochargers.

As far as the JRSC (Jackson Racing Super Charger), you'd have plenty of room for the SC, I know of one kid runnin a B18C block + B16A head + a JRSC and he has plenty of firewall clearance.

PS. Oh, on those turbo kits, (assuming you're runnin a GSR motor), depending on what manifold (intake) you run, it depends on what turbo kit you'd use (for piping). w/ a stock gsR intake manifold (w/ lower tb), you should be able to use the kit for a GSR integra. If you run the Skunk2 manifold, or custom (cut up) TypeR manifold, then you could run a turbo kit for a LS, TypeR (dunno about the Si coupes and del sol VTEC's since they're b16's but their tb position is the same as the LS and TypeR). Same thing applies to above (either getting a kit for the car the motor came out of, or getting a custom turbo kit ie: B18C1 in '92-95 chassis turbo kit, depending on the manifold you run -for B18C1- you'd either run the B18C1 into 92-95 chassis turbo kit, or B18C5/B1/A1 into 92-95 chassis turbo kit b/c of the TB position).

hehe, more info...

B18C5-EH2,
ok this is a really dumb question, but it's trippin me out, today is 03/28/02 and it's 11:59 AM over here, how the HELL does your time stamp on your post say 9:27 PM on 03/28/02 when it'snot even here yet!?

another question bro ;D
what was all that fuss bout some dude going back to hickville, i think i missed something, he might have deleted his post or something. ;x

Trey

Man, all the info you need is here....

http://www.hybrid.honda-perf.org/tech/5gtech.html

forget the rest of the crap on this thread.

Good Luck Coonass!

B18C5-EH2

You would buy the header or turbo manifold for the ENGINE. Some people make turbo kits for B-series motors into 1992-1995 Civics.

Please re-read my post above as it details exactly what intake, header, and exhust you need depending on what motor you have.

AmauryR

actually, drop the 5gtech + just use http://hybrid.honda-perf.org, and check out the 4g tech as well as other articles + info that'd be pretty helpfull.

lol, don't knock on honda-tech (j/p).
actually I used a lot of resources because the hybrid site didn't answer all of my ?'s, http://www.c-speedracing.com is another good site (they have a very good how to B18C1 a '92-95 civic). Searching (not just on honda-tech), like on yahoo or other search-engines (even the one on hybrid.honda-perf.org 's link section is pretty good for searching). Good luck + take ur time.
