Default B18B1 into my 95 Civic DX coupe...IT'S DONE!!!!

Howdy Guys,

IT'S DONE!!!! After three weeks of waiting for parts, massive snow storm that shut everything down for the week and all around frustration, it is finally done. I'll tell you what...Everyone that has been on this forum for a long time knows I have been posting for a damn long time about this swap so all you need to do is search for my name to get my previous tech filled or **** filled posts. I'll let the pictures talk for themselves.









Tell me what you guys think. I tell you what...This car really packs a punch and that new clutch was worth the extra couple bucks..

I hear ya...I noticed that myself after I got it back from the muffler shop today. I think it will be pretty easy to find one. The flywheel cover would be a nice thing to get soon. Anyone know the best place to find one?

I'm running a LS tranny and the whole thing after little crap and upgrades ran me around 3400 dollars. I'm breaking in the clutch very slowly...500 miles at under 3K RPM's is gonna be murder....

I have no idea what year the tranny is. This B18B1 was from an automatic and I bought the tranny from a friend. All I know is this car will put you back in your seat very quickly and will spin the tires at 2k RPMS in third gear....Only bitch is the TPS sensor was busted so it idles really shitty...But I have one coming tomorrow so that will be fixed.

You should do something about that upper radiator hose. Looks like it's too long and is about to kink up. An upper hose from a 94-97 del Sol VTEC might work.

It is only temporary...I'm dropping in a Dual core VTEC radiator as soon as my bank account begins to replenish. I'm definetly gonna fix that little issue as soon as I can.

Looks good meng.

I used the LS upper and lower radiator hoses on mine, just had to trim alittle of the upper hose off to get rid of that "kink".

What header are you running?

Yup, cover up your flywheel and maybe also your license plate, it can still be read.

Anyway, your car looks nice.

Arospeed 4-2-1 Ceramic header, It is suprisingly quiet and also in just a hot as the old stock header. I like it.
