I was at the workshop and found something cool. This swapped take place in Pakistan.
This is a common swap here

 

Always wondered how hard it would be to upgrade to this swap! I was thinking it would be a much better swap than the D16A replacement I got for my 2000 civic.. at $150 less on Hmotors.com and Vtec that seemed a better option but I wanted a easy plug and play replacement.

 

someone in new york did a similar swap for his customer and got burned for it on here...

 

Who burned him?? probably a noob anyway.. They wouldn't burn him in Pakistan they don't play that **** out there! Look at a cop wrong and your getting your *** kicked and whipped!

 

Another one.

 

I wonder why?
It is getting popular here as you can find much clean and less mileage CF engines then the old d series.
I don't know why these newer d series are unpopular everywhere else.
One benefit I can see is they have coil over plugs which is much better than the old school distributor system

 

The guy dropped an R18 into an eg civic for a customer and just wanted to share. It wasn't something he wanted to do, it was something the customer wanted. Thats HT for ya....

 

I do like the idea of coil packs on the plugs!
