I will be swaping a b18b into a 98 dx h/b ek, and wanted to make sure that i was aware of everything that i needed to have.

So as far as the swap goes:

Will the b series motor mounts bolt up or will i need any kind of bracket? Like for the drivers side?

How about wiring? will i need to do anything or will it be plug and play? Motor will be OBD2. Might boost in the future, so would it be better to go OBD1, or can i change it over later on? No one in the area really knows how to chip ECU's.

Rear motor mount off an 99-00 em1, right?

A/C bracket off a del sol vtec, right?

What about PS brackets. Read they need to be changed? Mainly the upper bracket.

What about the exhaust. Will the header bolt up to the existing exhaust? Im not worried about not having a cat. They dont worry about that around here.

Also which throttle cable would i use?

And I know i should get a new timing belt and water pump.

Anything else would be appreciated.

Thanks for the responses.

 

little help?

First time swapper!

 

c'mon, im sure someone can answer a few.

 

BUMP

 

haha first question is why are you puttin an LS in there for?

 

cause i overheated the y7 due to a messed up rad due to an accident, now there is coolant in the oil and i would rather have this.

definatley

 

Ok well as far as I have found:

i need the rear bracket from an EM1, a/c bracket from the del sol, throttle cable from an LS or ITR, and rad hoses from a 94+ del sol.
I know i will need the drivers side timing bracket from an EM1.

Wiring ive found write ups on, mainly have to change the IAC wire.

Still unsure if the exhaust mani will bolt up or if ill be short.

Anything else?

C'mon guys?

 

the headers will reach. the axles need to be replaced with dohc ones.

 

the headers will reach, but it will be a tight fit.. thats how mine is.
