I am going to purchace a b18b1 out of a 1998 integra. What do I need for this b18b1 to fit in my 1990 DA.

I have the alternator,dizzy,intake mani,exhaust mani, starter, all the engine mounts. tranny from a b18a1.

I kept the flywheel off my b18a1 and scraped the block of the engine. It was blown. The b18b1 is standard. So all i have to do it put my auto flywheel on and take the standard flywheel off????


Thank you.

 

yes.. everything will fit.. you can use the longblock (head and block), and just bolt your intake manifold, accessories, etc etc..

It will all bolt up with your stock mounts.. for sure.. they are damn near the same motor..

 

I did a B18B swap into my DA. For the driver side mount you will need to change over the piece that bolts between the block and the mount. It is at a different angle. Take of the timing belt cover and install the one from your B18A. You can swap you dizzy, intake, etc. and run the engine on the stock OBD0 ECU but the engine will run rich. This is the problem I'm having. It runs fine for the most part, just rich, throws a CEL once in a while. I'm looking for a OBD1 ECU so I can convert.

 

I dont have my b18a anymore so is the timing belt cover a big deal? or maybe I can pick one up at acura dealership.

 

no need for dealer. go to your local junkyard and pick one up. good luck on your swap.

 

you can get them at any yard for next to nothing.. lol.. they are just a piece of plastic..

 

If anyone else has input, please feel free to post.

 

bump. I need more input plz

 

simple swap, me and my budy just did it in his da. but like said before it would be a good idea to convert your motor to obd0 or get the obd1 ecu.

 

So the obd0 harness will work? and isnt a 1998 b18b1 a obd2?

 

haha yea im dumb. its obd2. we did the 95 ls motor i think it was. it has the same vc as the b18a. yours has the different vc

 

whats vc

 

sorry. vc is valve cover

 

I am pretty sure that if you have the obd0 distributor and alternator you should be good. but I have neither worked with an obd2 or an obd0 motor. If you need more than that you will have to buy the obd0 parts and put them on the obd2 block they should fit.

 

your old motor should have everything to convert your new motor

 

yea i have everything from the 0bd0 to put in the 0bd2. but the intake mani,alternator, and headers will stay on the b18b1. because they will fit with my DA. and i can use my obd0 dizzy on the obd2 aswell.correct me if im wrong.

 

yea i think you need to not sure. we did the obd 1 swap into his 93 so everything was pretty much the same

 

Sweet. thanks. where are you located by the way.

 

straight up from wisconsin haha

 

oh lol. i was going to ask if you wanted to come over to help the swap. I got a bunch of guys from torontointegras.ca coming over. Its nice when you have people coming to help.

 

haha yea canada is a trip. i would love to come i wanna see some right hand drive skylines. some real ones. not the us crap

 

There are 3 in my area. a 1991, 1993 and the 2009.

ps- the 2009 is RHD. he cant drive it on the street. strictly for shows. he has money to blow on this **** anyways.

 

dang. i wanna see. if you ever get a chance pm me some pics of them. i want one so bad and am hoping to own one when i actaully have a job haha im still in college. yea the us has only left hand drive though

 

Come good weather, Ill snap pics 4sure.

The older ones- one black with chrome bbs 18inch rims and it has 690hp
the other one is stock silver

the 2009 is pushing 1100hp roughly. he just got new parts so the hp is more.

 

thanks a lot. ive heard though that the states dont wanna register any more left hand drive cars so what we have here is what we have. i hope its not true. but why dont you wanna convert your car to manual?
