So im gonna be dropping in a B18B in my 98 civic coupe DX and im just looking for some advice as far as parts go. It is auto right now so im going to need to get the pedals etc.

I am looking for at getting a 98+ B18B swap with a GSR tranny and hopefully a P75 or P72 ECU that is ready for hondata to be used down the road.

For the other stuff im not sure what companies make better parts for swaps. I am thinking of using the Enjo B series mount kit and enjo stage 2 or 3 axles. For the shift linkage im not sure if there are any differences but i heard the GSR is better than the other B series? Are there any axles or mounts that you would choose over the enjo stuff?


The other parts I know I need are clutch master cylinder, reservoir and slave cylinder, hydro lines and pedal assembly. Am i missing anything in that list and is there anything you would recommend buying brand new (OEM or aftermarket?). Also what are good things to change on the engine before I drop it in?

Thanks in advance

 

From what I hear the auto to manual conversion is a pain in the *** (I've never seen one done). I would probably just buy a manual car for your project.

 

No way im just gonna buy a manual car. The car already has a brand new paint job, custom bodywork and alot of other stuff that ive done to it. Also I wouldnt consider doing that even if my car was stock just because I would end up losing money.

The conversion basically entails drilling holes for the shiftlinkage, running the hydro lines and covering up a hole in the floor from the auto shifter.

 

so all mounts are the same?

 

you dont really need those enjo axles. gsr axles will do fine. unless you wanna boost some mad psi then there a good idea.

 

only reason I was thinking of the enjo axles was for peace of mind. I do plan on putting down around 300whp at times so would you recommend getting axles or no?
