im sure youre going to tell me to search it up and flame me for being a noob

so sorry in advance

i have a 2000 civic ex coupe

i was wondering if i go for a jdm b18c1 2000+ will i have to do anything else to make it pass california state regulations when i have the swap done?

the reason i ask is because it is kind of hard to find a usdm spec b18c1 2000+ motor on the web. but finding a jdm one is alot easier.

thanks guys

 

go for the jdm b18c gsr
just change over all the usdm emisson stuff

b18c is the way to be.

 

go for the b18c R if you got deep pockets

 

mind if i ask what emission equipment i have to change over?

ecu? cat? etc. etc.

thanks

 

http://www.hmotorsonline.com has usdm and jdm motors. So far i've heard these are the best people to deal with. Give them a try...

 

I believe the change over parts are, the oil pump, crank fluctuation sensor, the distributor, and an 02 sensor. Check up on these parts though i might be wrong on one...

 

EGR and pcv?

 

jdm all the way!!
goodluck

and they are bastards cuz half of the sensors that come on the engines go out after a month of driving

 

what sensors have you heard of going out? the o2 sensors etc.

when i get an engine i was planning on stripping the block cleaning out all the carbon i can find then changing rods+gaskets+sensors?+supercharge+headers+msd ignition system before it goes in the car.

anything else i should do before she goes in so that i wont encounter too much problem?

thanks for all the help in advance you all rock!

 

JDM all the way if you live where there's no emissons but if you do then it's USDM....sucks! that's how it is where I'm at some parts of the state don't have emissons some do...not fair!

 

JDM b18c R all the way

i know what you mean, we have it here too. i guess there is a rumor that they are going ot stop test emission for obd I here in illinois cause its too expensive to run them on rollers. hope for the best for all the obd I here (i'm one of them)!

 

yup hmotors is the best thats where i got my swap @

 

I think I'm obd I too if i'm correct but anyways if they do that what does that mean? Just no testing/emissons? Wouldn't that be somewhat good then cuz you can have whatever engine you want no? I don't know a "friend" said if your car is 20 years or older no more emissons I guess but that'll be a long time to wait for me..but anyways yeah that sucks I guess I can just move to the places with no emissons but then need a good job in order to move there
