Can someone confirm if this information is correct?
After saving enough money to buy another B18C Type R for my daily, I am going to try too attempt to swap an engine out myself, I usually don't touch any engine work however I believe that I am confident enough to do an engine swap now.
* This isn't my first time having an engine swap done, I have another EK with a B18C Type R and went through many troubles, however I didn't do the swap I got a shop to do it for me.
Just ordered a B18C Type R 99 and it will be going into a 00 Civic Hatch that has a B18B in it at the moment.
My Questions
1. The axle problem, since this is a 98 spec JDM ITR it is going to come with 36mm axles, and the civic is a 32mm hub. Can I just switch the outer joint of the axles that came with the engine with the outer joint of the B18B that I currently have, or will I have to use one from a prelude/addord, crv?
2. Is the B18C R splines going from the tranny and halfshaft all the same as any B Series? Thus making only the hub side "36mm" is this true?
3. Any tips I should know before I do the swap? I have all the tools needed.
