Hey all I have been searching and reading on these forums for about 2 months planning a swap for EG project. I found a possible swap that I would like to use for this.


Its a B18C with a p72 head, which makes a USDM motor I believe. Its a full swap with axles,ecu,etc. Will this bolt up to the stock exhaust or do I need to do something different?


I called the shop owner that has the engine and asked him to compression test it for me. The numbers came back as 180,200,200,200. This seems a little low? But maybe I am wrong.


My question is what do you fine gentleman recommend I do to this block while it is out of car? I am on budget but if there is some good preventive maintenance or performance things I could do I would like to know about it. I already plan to do timing belt/water pump.


I appreciate the help in advanced. I am new to the Honda world, so take it easy on me. I have built several Small Block Chevys in the past so I do have some experience with engines.

 

Just noticed there is a much more appropriate place to post this thread, I am going to repost it to Hybrid/Engine swaps.


If the mods can close/delete this that would be great.
