hey, rite well first off i have a b18c out a 97 teg, od2 correct me if am wrong (has knock sensor) plannin on putting it into my 97 uk spec ek, it has a 1.5 v-tec in it at the moment ( i'm guessin thts obd2 aswell?, My main question is wht do i need to get this motor in and running,, mounts,wiring, ecu, everything, , for sum reason the ecu i got with the engine is out a uk spec b18c4, will thie ecu work with the motor i have?(seacrhed but could find all the info i needed) Que 2. i'm still not sure i have a b18c due to the fact the enigne code is grinided off , it has pr3 stamped on the pistons,rods,block and head is this thing really a jdm b18c? <Sorry for all the crap i jst said but this info could really help me out big time, cheers guys, p.s i know its V-TEC! and NOT v-tech

 

You are right.. you are lookiong at 2 OBD2 cars.. IM not sure on the numbers for the ecu for an obd2 gsr im thinking P73? also with the block numbers grinded off it would be a little difficult .. Pr3 may be a good start also look for P72 numbers. You can tell if its a jdm spec motor by also looking at the wire harness it came off of. if its set up for a right hand drive car and by the valve cover. AS for installation.. If you bought htis motor used id definatly check timing belt/clutch/flywheel/plugs/cap/rotor to start. You will need a mount kit/axels/ecu as well.

No it isnt V-Tec either.......I swear to god. some of you wannabe honda people. IT'S VTEC YOU NOOBS!!! Not V-tec, not V-tek, not v-tech, not VE-TAK, not VTECK......IT'S VTEC!!

 

ok kool, wht should i look for on the harness certain multiplugs etc?, all i can see is pr3 on no p72. i have axels and gear linkage off the teg , not sure if this would fit onto the ek tho? i should know its vtec, i own 1 , jst whe i sighned up i couldnt get it with vtec, but tbh i dnt the (-) in between the v and the tec makes much diff lol any thanks man

 

well if the alternator/battery cable comes to the left hand side of the car instead of the right.. im not sure if this will be the case with a UK version but if you think its a jdm gsr that willbe the case.

 

kool any 1 know about the second question i asked? i'm pretty sure pr3 means its a b18c ?
