I work at a local parts store and this guy came in and was asking a bunch of questions and turns out he wants to swap a b18 into his 98 civic that currently has a b16 i believe, i told him that i would possibly be able to do this but im trying to find information out on the swap. I did some searching here but really couldnt turn up anything. I have done a motor swap before on sho but it was a change of engine just standard r and r. Is there anything i should know before gettting myself into this?

 

straight swap over

 

if he has a b16 in there it has all the necessary mounts etc, so it's a direct swap over. like a d16y7 to y8. probably need the ecu.

 

That sound good, has anybody every posted a step by step, sort of like disconnect this then unbolt that, i know in the factory service manuals they have directions like that i believe through my local library i have mitchell or alldata so i guess i could get it from there.

 

Get a helms or a haynes if you can't get a helms.

It's an easy swap. Plug and play as the b-series everything is already there.
