I'm about to do a B18C4 swap into my crx in favor of my B16 I have in there now.
However I'm paranoid...so I want to doublecheck a few things.

Can I re-use my B16 half shaft etc? I am told the bolt holes on the engine casing are different, like the B16A2, that would mean I'm in trouble.
Anyone confirm/deny?

I would also like some tech diagrams. I have the 98Civic work shop manual...(where the engine is from) but no diagrams.
There are several sensors that I do not recognize...and I want to know all the ins and outs of my new engine. How to re-route vacuum lines, (wtf is that dodgy vacuum cilinder thingy anyway??) etc etc etc.

All help, diagrams, and pictures would be greatly appreciated.

 

Are you going to be using a cable or hydro transmission?

If you use your current cable trans use the axles and intermediate shaft.

If you use the trans from the b18c4 use the corresponding intermdiate shaft and axles or your current intermediate shaft and axles.

 

Been in the Honda scene for about 6 yrs now and have yet to hear of the C4, how does it differ from the C1 ?

C4 is an EDM engine(Europe) It is pretty much just like the b18c1 from what I understand.

 

Yes it is just about the same.


I am using my current B16 cable tranny.
No resource on tech info?

For instance... there's an odd looking fragile little black sensor on the intake manifold. What does it do?
There are several vacuum operated items on the manifold. I assume they drive the dual stage intake.
I want to have it stuck wide open... or loop the secondaries through my vtec pressure signal.

Any help?

 

bump!

 

Come on people! I'm sure someone knows more!
