i currently have a b16a, but i would like to put a b18c1 block.. if i get a block and motor mount and build my head on top of that block, will it just be plug and play once i take out my old b16a block.. or is there more to it, thanks..

using the search function or posting this in a tech section would get you the fastest answer. there is a thread already started with lots of feed back and multiple combinations using b16 heads on b18 blocks that can be found in a matter of seconds (I did a quick search just to make sure) as far as it being plug and play you didn't give enough info on your current setup to enable a yes or no answer

Already have a b16 vtec running?

A b18c block should be plug & play, easy. Maybe need to do some minor changes, but yes as you already have vtec b16 it should be easy.

But, search.

Yes I currently have a b16a vtec. Gonna buy a Ls b18 block. Just wanna know everything i need. To do the swap. Will my b16 water pump and timing belt work fine on it. And do I also need a ls/vtec conversion kit for my ls block if it is non-vtec.

Yes to conversion kit.

obviously I wouldn't need it if it's b18c gsr block so I'll be good for that

KPDSM

I always forget, but the timing belt thing AFAIK is related to which water pump you use.

Double check on the search, I'm at work right now ha.

I think it goes LS water pump LS timing belt GSR water pump gsr timing belt.

I've looked many times. Only finding **** on the pulley bolt. Not getting What I want. So I need some help. Can my crank come out with out taking my flywheel off or do I need to take the flywheel off in order for it to come out

The flywheel must come off because you cannot get to the rear main seal plate bolts with it still attached to the crank.
