The engine = 1998 UK ITR B18c6, the car = EG hatch Which had D15B sohc vtec. Are the mounting points the same?

Mounting points should be the same.

Redsun

Are you sure? If they are the same then that's taken aload of my mind. Because i'm thinking of swapping at home with limited tools.

nsxmatt

I'm sure that your Civic and Integras are the same as we recieve here as far as mount positions so the steps for bolting in the engine would be the same as any other B-series swap into a USDM 92-95 Civic in which the motor bolts in with no cutting or welding.

Redsun

Thank you very much for clearing that out for me. I've been getting alot people lately saying that modifications will have to be done to mounts...blah...blah...blah

Is the Civic a manual or automatic? If its auto, there will have to be some mount fabbing done to the chassis rail mount on the top of the transmission (driver's side for you, passenger side for us in the developped world).

umm isnt the C6 a GSR engine?
damn crazy eurpoean motors.

but no matter what version of the b18c it is, its same mountling locations and using the b series mounts it will bolt in.

its a very easy swap.

Redsun

OK, thanx guys. I'm worried about the wiring also. I have the engine wiring and ecu side wiring harness. I take it i just splice it into my existing harness under the dash?

European Type R motor. I still dont exactly know what kinda specs these motors have?? Do people get them because they are rare or different??? I dunno i asked before but i didnt really get the answer i was looking for hehe.

when mounting a d to b series in a civic, don't you need to add a mount on the backside of the motor to the firewall? i think the d-series does not use this mount.
i don't know much so i would take my advice just yet.
anyone dis-agree?

The euro version of the GSR is the C3 or C2 i believe...

The guy lives in europe, he got what was local to him.

Yes I do, you dont attach anything to the firewall. You use the steering rack/subframe for the rear mount.

I hope this clears up a little bit, anyone else care to post incorrect information to continue to confuse the hell out of this guy?

(this applys as long as your car wasnt automatic)
As for the motor swap, It will be really easy, you have a couple options, you can rewire your obd2 ITR distributor to obd1 spec, or sell your distributor, and buy a dohc vtec obd1 distributor, use your old wiring harness, extend the few wires that dont reach the according sensors. Use the stock mounts that come with your ITR motor, use the linkage that comes with your ITR motor. You need an ECU, I would recommend a chipped p28 or any chipped DOHC obd-1 vtec program, or get a jumper that converts obd1 to obd2 plugs and use the ITR ecu, the ecu is basicly obd-1 so you wouldnt have to do much more then that. For axle setup, get 94+ integra axles w/ integra half-shaft, you should get all that with your swap.

Thats all i can think of atm, hope this helps.

is this mount already attached?
so i could just drop a b-series engine in place of my d-series. i was always told that you needed to buy an extra mount togo on the backside of the motor because the sohc d-series never used this mount.

sorry for sounding dumb but i'm really confused now

irev210

use the mounts that u get with the type R

Katman

oy!
can you take a picture of your B18C6 block number for us and post it up?

thanks
