Im doing a B18C conversion into a 1997 Honda civic EK sedan (EK1) - New Zealand New, D16Y (sohc vtec) manual

I have got the following
- B18C Motor complete
- 5 speed Gearbox
- B18c ECU - it says p72 on it

Electrics:

What loom do i need?
Do i need the interior loom? or will ek interior loom fit to the p72 ecu?
Do i have to rewire anything (vtec solenoid)?
Will it be better to change ECU to OBD2 and change distributor and alternator?

Mounts:

What engine mounts/brackets will i need? (Motor comes with B series DC mounts will this fit into EK)
What gearbox mount? (it has come with DC gbox mount)

Axels:

What axels?
Will the axels fit into factory ek hubs?

Others:

What linkages will i need?
Which Throttle cable will i need?
Upper and lower radiator hoses will fit b18c?
B18c fuel pump? will b18cr pump overfuel it?
Plan to keep A/C in the car - is this plug and play? or will i need different brackets etc

Please let me know if i need anything else or tips

Thanks

There is more to it then that though like the iacv three wire to two fix and wire the vtec and knock sensor. And you have to move a two plugs on the ecu plug. And if you have a b18c you will want a obd2a p73 ecu the p72 is a gsr and that is a b18c1

thanks will i still have to rewire if i get the obd2a p73 ecu ?

im not sure if the motor is actually b18c1 the guy i bought my motor from just gave me a p72 ecu.

Is there anyway on how to find out what generation b18c it is?

Nice and thought out website. Very informative.

The GSR and Integra Type R chassis both received a B18C in JDM form. Check the cylinder head for stamping such as "P72" (GSR) or "PR3-1", "PR3-2", "PR3-3" or "PR3-4". Look for green paint near the distributor (sign of B18C, Type-R only) and also check the ports (If clean and visible) for hand porting about 1"-2" from the openings, (another sign of B18C, Type-R only)
