Good Luck

 

everything would swap right over, the wiring would be the only concern but you should be able to use the stock wiring, but since you have the donor car the wiring from that could be used as well

 

awsum thanks ! what about the drive shafts (axes) do u think they would fit because the car is a diff model (shape) although the widths of the cars are exaclty the same, checked it on parkers.co.uk

 

just search for info on b series engines in eg chassis. this swap has been done many many times, so you won't have any problems finding the info you need in the archives.

 

if you are worried about the axles, use the knuckles and suspension from the donor car. both vehicles are 92-95 civics right?

 

i think that the 1.8 vti civic 5d sport is 96- model and is obd2 and got similiar to GSR motor.

sorry. i´m bad in english

Ok i remember seeing this vehicle, scratch everything i said before as i thought the donor car was the same generation as the car it was going into. the mounts wont work, neither will the wiring without modification. Axles may work with your stock knuckles, but i cant say either way as the thrim level of the car you are swapping into isnt avaliable here. you can use the motor and transmission, but you will needs parts from a 92-95 VTi.

You are back to squre one, my apologies.

 

Is the 1.8 VTi a rover chassis Civic? I don't know how close the suspension is to the EG.

 

right ok but the mounts look the same and width ov the car are also the same not sure about suspension tho , so u dont reacon the enigine will fit althought it is a b18c engine i thought the the units were the same ?

 

Umm, if the engine mounts are the same, you can swap it in. I don't know if the mounts are like EGs or EKs. If they are like EGs, it will swap right in, if not you will need to get EK4 mounts. Axles probably won't be a problem as long as the splines are the same and the suspension is similar.

 

right ok thanx so the eg and ex arnt the same mounts i take it ? what is required with the wiring ? i have a donar car but it has AC does this matter ? thankx

 

Hey man post up pictures of both cars just kinda wonder what they look like under the hood
