1993 civic dx d15b7 to b18c JDM GSR swap
Once again I turn to the honda community for help. I've tried searching for guides and found a link but the site is no longer working.
My 1993 civic started knocking
Rod knock. I've swapped the main and rod bearing and the engine was sounding good, still slight rod knock. Unfortunately it only lasted 30 miles
I bought a 1995 Civic CX Hatchback, that I thought had a 1.5 d15 but it turns out it has a JDM B18c engine and tranny(Y80) imported from japan. I'm really shocked.
What is involved in the swap. If I swap the engine and tranny to my 93 civic dx, would the ECU from the b18c, be plug and play or is there anything special that needs to be done inorder for it to work in the 93 civic?
I tried searching but cannot find a guide or tutorial. Thanks in advance.
