Default If one B18c rocks hmmm.

Just got the motors in tuesday night


Terrible shot...Beautiful picture.

Unfortunantly we can't put them in for a couple weeks but that will give time to get all the right finishing pieces ie: timing belt, hoses a few other things, but cant wait.

BlazinSi, Was thinking of how your swap went, haven't caught you online to ask. Bet your pretty stoked. Any situations come up during the swap?

BTW its actually a nice truck (77 ford shortbed 4x4) just dirty as all heck!

the swap went pretty smoothly. the biggest problem i ran into was making the JDM harness work with my civic harness. i found out here on H-T that you need to use your civic Si harness and run the knock sensor and IAB.

the wiring was the only thing that slowed down the swap.

what i'm going to do is drive the car for 500 miles and baby it, then change the oil (to synthetic) and have the valves adjusted and then tighten down any bolts that may have came loose.

Well we bought two so the deal came out to 3900.00 ea. and 200.00 for shipping and 100.00 in customs fee for both motors.

Go to http://www.japan-motor.com/en_about.html ( Ahmied was willing to go 4200.00 on one motor. He was a very patient and good seller )

So far so good but all will be known in a couple weeks.
