i am putting a b18b into my relativly stock 98 DX hatch with d16y7

i am curious, from the experience of those who did this same swap, how big of a difference will i notice between the two.. it's going to be my daily driver.. i just have some extra money from an accident and through my research, i found this to be my best choice

thanks in advance

 

Same here. I'm putting one in with a B16 tranny. I'll let u know in about a week.

 

do u know where i can get a b18c for a 94 civic hb

 

i put the same motor in my 97 lx 4dr, and the difference is amazing! the usable torque the b18 has, squashes the d16. you won't regret it. in my opinion, the ls tranny is the way to go. if you do any highway driving, you'll be at 4k rpm with a b16 or b18c. i know people love the shorter trannys of the other b motors, but i love the "tall" gears of the ls. just my opinion. good luck.

 

thanks for the fedback, anyone else have any experience with this swap?

 

bump

 

this is also my daily driver. so far so good. i got the swap from hmotors. highly recommend. i'm getting about 30mpg, with mixed driving, on 92 octane. i found all the info to do the swap on honda tech.

 

it willl be an awsome differance lots more torque they are very fun to drive

 

its interesting, i was wondering about this myself because on the dyno, LS motors dont dyno that much more than some d16's with bolt-ons. but i guess a 1.8 is always better than a 1.6

 

I want one.......

stock LS puts out 20 more ft lbs at the wheels, how is that not much more??? 20% inscrease over stock is pretty signifacant to me.
