im looking into getting a b18b1 for my EG
my plan is to BAR it then add on a vtec head
after being bar.
Ive never really looked into BAR(ing) vehichles
can someone point me in the right direction?
from what i know basically everything has to be oem
from an ls but is that all?
what parts are mainly needed?

 

no one?

 

My friend has a LS in his EG ut he bought it that way. I'm looking into putting a y8 into mine and called the 800 for BAR and they said as long as all emission controls are there it should be good to go. Basically, make sure all the OE stuff is on, no aftermarket header/muffler, make sure the cat is good, all sensors are there, the emissions carbon canister. Also, she said its free to get it Ref'd and get the BAR sticker, but it may require a smog shortly there after. That info they didn't give me.

Luckily a LS is a easy swap. if you tried to go OBD1 to OBD2a or b there would be A LOT more you'd need to do. swap the ECU, add the 2nd O2 sensor, etc...

Hope that helps. GL with the swap.

 

thanks
im getting an obd1 swap so it should go right in
sounds like imma be doing some pick a part hunting for some ls parts

 

well things to know the motor has to be the same year or newer that the car and yea all emitions have to be connected to OEM spec i just bard a 97 gsr in my 95 eg we converted it to ob1 i got a 95 civic ecu and passed

 

Make sure you're running the correct ECU for the motor. Make sure you have no CELs. As others have stated, you'll need all original emissions equipment installed and functioning. Make sure your wiring is clean and nothing is micky-moused. If you have aftermarket parts (air intake, header, IM), make sure they have carb stickers/plates. Best if you don't use aftermarket parts at all when you BAR though...just to be safe. You might want to bring a bill of sale for the motor just in case...some Refs check this and others don't (mine didn't).
fm

 

mine didnt check the bill of sale either and for the ecu its mor of what year your trying to bar the motor as cuz sence i went obd1 i needed a 95 ecu but im runnin a 97 motor so we bard the motor to 95 gsr specs

 

i have a 94 cx and am getting a 96 integra ls motor.
what parts from my civic can i keep and use?
and i have an es oval exhaust, that means id have to get an ls exhaust too right

 

What happens if you relocate the battery to the back in a crx with an all oem ls motor swap?

 

I wonder about exhaust too. I'm planning to get a es oval. And going to a ref. I have all the **** hooked up right and no cels. I even kept the oem header for when I go.
