hey all , i have had a little bit of a issue and need some help with this.. I have a 92 dx with a b18b swapped in it, now i have a few issues with the motor and i am pulling it out to build it for turbo.. Here is the question i also have a running b18a just sitting around what all would i have to do to swap it in place of the b18b while i build it so i can still drive my hatch.... any help is appreciated..

 

nothing????

 

You can, you just need to swap the sensors over from the b18b head to the b18a head. You also need to swap the intake manifold over as well with the tb and sensors. Last but not least, swap the thermostat housing from the b18b over to the b18a. Thats all.

 

i believe you will also need to either pick up a new transmission or an adapter because the b18b is a hydro tranny and the b18a is a cable tranny

 

Well I aleady have a hydro/cable conversion on my eg, so I am good on the transmission.... I knew I had to swap the dizzy since it's obd-o going to obd-1, but I did t think that I would have to swap the intake mani and all that... I will get on that as soon as I can.. Thanks

 

Not true my friend. Cable and hydro will bolt right up to all b series motors.

 

I believe he was talking about a hydro to cable conversion adapter... but the op already has a tranny.

I havn't seen anybody swap out all the sensors and such when putting a b18a in the 92-95... my buddy had one and it ran great. you will need to swap throttle bodies though so you can have a map sensor, unless you have one on the firewall but I believe that's only in the CX's.. soooooo, post some pics lol.. I like seeing ppls cars and everything..

 

I would like to hear more about the swap without taking all that stuff off.. please and thank you..

I am gonna do a build thread soon, so pics and such are on the way!
