Default b18b swap

well one question is that when you order off of hmotorsonline.com... do you choose if you want jdm or usdm? and if i do get jdm... whats is the difference besides the horsepower... like is maintinance different or what?...

and also how long does it take to swap in a b18b swap into a ej2 civic?

IMO jdm or usdm doesnt matter for a LS, if it were a GSR or ITR i might care. if mileage is a concern at the end of the day you cant prove mileage unless you get a USDM 96+ LS and run the VIN. The motors are usually the same except for slight differences in compression but maintenence is the same and the USDM dealer parts work the same too.

Theres no saying how long a swap will take. Some people can do it in several hours others can take them a week. depends........

if you buy the complete swap it comes all one piece. They have some of the cleanest swaps out there. 1 thing tho. in order to qualify for the warranty you much change a bunch of parts, including clutch i believe along with timing belt, waterpump, etc. read their policy if u care about warranty
