Iv decided that i want to put a b18 in my civic lx. i wanted to know if it was possible to keep the power steering and a/c i dont want my girl bitching in the summer if it is possible can someone give me info on it. thnx

 

yeah, you can. the ac compressor might be different, so you might have to buy hasport's b to d series ac compressor bracket. good luck.

 

can anyone else clarify on this and if its right what website can i go to buy the parts i need

 

the b18 when you get it should have a power steering pump on it already. attach it to your power steering lines (if i'm wrong, someone correct me)

i would say the same about the a/c, but if i remember right, the lines are different. thus hasport (you can go to one of their dealer's websites or maybe you can buy it from their website or something) has a bracket that will bolt to a b series block and let you bolt your d series a/c compressor to.

 

so i can use the powersteering pump thats on the b18 and the line from the lx but no the a/c correct?

 

anyone

 

bump

 

That sounds about right. Use the b18 powersteering pump. Just hook up the LX lines to it.

As far as a/c. go to http://www.hasport.com

Find the d to b a/c compressor bracket. I think its like 100 bux. When you are swapping the engine. Just unbolt the a/c compressor from the d-series block and from the compressor bracket. DO NOT UNHOOK THE A/C LINES! Then put the b-series engine in. Then bolt the d to b (b to d?) a/c compressor bracket to the b18 block, then the d series a/c compressor to the bracket, and ur done with a/c.
