Ok I am almost done with the body of the EK I got from my brother. I am already leaning towards doing the swap. I just have a few questions before I take the dive and start playing with these fun little cars once again. I would really appreciate any assistance/information you can provide me. I don't want to dive in without knowing how deep the project can get moneywise.

1.) Catback- Is there a catback available that directly bolt on into a B18C swap on a EK?

2.) Motor mounts - Do I need to buy a different motor mounts to fit the B18C to my EK? I am buying the B18C "complete changeover" from Hmotorsonline.

3.) Smog - I've read some posts online saying that a JDM motor can pass smog. If it is possible, I'd like to know what parts should be added/changed on the JDM motor to make it CA legal?

4.) Gauge cluster - Will the stock EK cluster work with the new B18C motor?

Any suggestions is greatly appreciated. Thanks to "luserkid" for some valuable info PM'd to me. I will seek your assistance for the swap once I get everything situated.
