I going to swap a b18b into an eg for the time being. I've never done a swap before and would like to learn and this motor seems pretty cheap and I would think would be an easier swap. Basically I want to start off with finding the motor. Where is a good place to find a low mileage quality b18b? It has to be a 93 or newer because thats when they switch to hydro trannys in integras.

anyone

i purchased mine from the local yard. I got the complete engine(minus distributor and alternator) and GSR Tranny for 850 bucks.

hmotorsonline is a very good place to purchase a motor, my friend just got a b16a from them and it's clean as hell.. I beleive you can pick one up for 2200..

Hwocan you tell if the mileage is low on the motor u receive?

well you can never tell exactly what the milaege is by looking at it. if you buy a motor from a well known seller then you should be fine. hmotorsonline.com is a great place to order from. i have had nothing but great things to say about them.

that sounds good. I had a freind tell me that usdm motors are much easier because they are much easier to wire but generally have hihger miles then there jdm counterparts? Any truth to this?

If you can find one in a junk yard you can check the mileage yourself. If you order it no one knows the exact mileage. I personally don't care what shape the wiring harness is in when i purchase a new engine, my junk yard usually torches them off. I use my d-series harness and extend a few plugs when needed

cbmprelude

you can do that? you can extend the d series harness and use it on a b18?

correct

The harness will work but some connectors will need to be extended

HMO (www.hmotorsonline.com) or IAS (www.importautosalvage), either place is great for getting used engines. The longblock + GSR tranny for $850 is a great deal, you most likely won't find something that cheap.

cbmprelude

that 850 sounds like a great deal can you link me to it? I can use the integra axles as well right, even if the car is significantly lowered?

I also cant find this deal you are talking about..

cbmprelude

bump to find out about this deal and does a gsr tranny have an lsd?

How much worse will my gas mileage become? And can I swap in a/c as well?

you can keep a/c if you get a dohc delsol or crv ac bracket. Your gas mileage will probably be from 23-30 mpg depending on the ecu and tranny you put with the engine. I averaged 24 around town with a 94 b18b, chipped ecu, and si tranny. The ls tranny would be better for gas mileage. At 75 mph i'm at 4,000 rpms in 5th gear.
