JDM Type R drop into EF body.

Currently I have a 91 civic with B18A conversion. How much harder to convert to JDM ITR? Also I want to convert to hydro clutch, ideas? Or should I sell ITR tranny and get a cable one instead, like B16a tranny.

uh u could use the tranny u have now the b16 tranny might not be best because of gearing ull have the motor at high rpm alot of the time which might not be best for it in the long run

Yeah, I would stay w/the tranny you got now the B16 tranny runs real high on rpms especially on the highway. I have a B16 tranny on my teg and only like the tranny for racing that's about it.

I would have guessed that ITR tranny should fit since B18A tranny fits fine in the engine bay ( assuming the mounts are very similar). Also the B18A is slighly bigger than the B18C's.
