hi im kinda a new member to honda -tech i mostly just come on here for helpful info , i have had 2 EF hb in the last 3 years , the first one was a 89 dx w/b16 swap but the wiring was pretty hacked and the mounts where welded integra , the car had itr header intake and exhaust , the motor was a 5 series b16 ran really hard (but someone stole it and took everything ) and the car was totaled
,
A year later a bought a 90 EF si hb also with a b16 swap with integra welded mounts the swap was pretty clean and was a 5 series motor with lsd tranny , and just had intake and exhaust ran strong also , but do to money problems i sold it
,
Well a few months ago i bought a bone stock 91 EF si hb salavaged for 1200 dollars right now its a daily driver i havent moded anything yet , i got a really good deal on a b16a longblock and ecu , and have the mount kit , but i still need a tranny , axles , shift likage , starter to begin the swap , i was thinking about running a type r bottom end ( i can get for 900)
with a spoon head gasket and crower valvetrain and crower 402 cams , or should i just buy a b18c longblock , sell the b16 longblock to buy the tranny and other misc stuff i need ? how many EF b18c are on here ? what kinda times ? any help appreaciated

 

5 series motor? Are we talking BMW here...

 

lol no b16a5 , the 5 series motors came out of the jdm integra xsi, the b16a1 came out of the jdm civic crx , i was told that the 5 series have better valvetrain and intake mainfold and yeild i slight higher compression , i wish a bmw 5 series could be thrown in a civic , but in another way i dont that bmw motor and tranny proably goes for 10k

 

i believe he's talking about a 5xxxxxxxxxxxx series motor, aka, JDM, i believe. the seriel number.
