Hey,
I recently bought a B18B to put in my 2000 Civic Si. And three weeks ago I put it in my mechanic's shop to get swapped. But there's the problem, three weeks ago.
And so now my friend is trying to convince me to pay for it and take it how it is now, and we can do the rest. So far pretty much only the thing that has been done is mounting the motor and transmission. Ryan say that from here it's pretty much "plug and play", and since I am now on here you see how far I trust that.
I'm just wondering, what else has to be done. We know we have to mount the axles, radiator and such. But what I want to know is how hard it this and that? Can we do it?
Where can I find more info on this sorta swap?
Thanks

 

why you swap a b16 for a b18b? i mean b16's aren't special but they are a helluva lot better than b18b.

 

Well the b16 was shot. And I needed a new motor. The b18 was cheaper, and done as often. Wanted to be different

 

b18b are sick! have you ever done a motor swap before? because mounting the motor is the easiest part lol the rest really complicated.. im sure someone on here can hook you up with a thread explaining it though?!

 

Are you going to use the B16A head on the B18B?

 

not right away. I need to get it running first.

 

the ls should be a little faster then the b16

ls+b16 tranny should beat a stock em1
more tq

I would have done a b20 then later on do a b20 vtec

 

look on this site for more info but the question is is the engine obd1 b18b or obd2 b18b because there are some differences in the wiring and also do you have the dizzy and the computer and is it obd2a or obd2b and what engine harness are you running?
