well after getting my replacement hatch last weekend for my totaled red one i went ahead and dropped my motor in last night cranked it up this morning with no check engine lights and no problems drove it open header today and everything is great. the b18c1 is a nice step up from that nasty b16 i had but nothing compared to my type r motor (sigh) but at least i have my turbo kit to put on. al im waiting for is the money for hondata and tuning but till then ill leave the turbo off. heres a few (bad quality) pix of the finished product.


and here are a few pix of the turbo thats going to go on in a month




again sorry for the bad quality of the pix but after spending so much money on the car lately i am too broke now.

 

looks good man.

 

looks good man

 

oh yewa another thing the car is jacked up in the front now cuz i have the coilovers set up high becasue i have to go to the muffler shop to get my exhaust done. i didnt want to have any problems getting it onto the lift if it was too low. as soon as i get the exhaust done the front is coming down a lot more.

 

sweet, b18 turbo in a hatch = fast... good luck

thanx but that just shows you how shitty my camera is. the color is teal green lol. but the good thing is the hatch is a 95 and the body is in great shape and has almost no paint fade what soever. the paint is still nice and glossy

 

 

Nice swap. Looks so clean. How do you like the feel from a B16 to B18?

 

theres a big difference between the b16 and b18c1 but i still miss my old type r motor that thing was a beast

 

nice car thats what i am going for too kind of, at least the motor how it is now is how i am going and the wheels, it is just gonna take me a while until i find the right job. good luck with it man

 

how much do you plan on boosting ? 6-10lbs on hondata ...

 

did the swap yourself? are you getting to be a pro yet or what?
sorry to hear about your old car but it looks like you'll be fast as all hell pretty soon man, keep up the good work!

 

wuts up with your fake post #'s Nextel.

 

even with hondata i still dont trust stock internals uneder boost so the max PSI i plan on runing is 12 but every day driving probabyl anywhere from 7-10.

oh and about being a pro with swaps. after doing abot 4-5 swaps on my car alone from wreckign cars and blowng motors u start to get the hang of it and can get it doen in about 1 night. i get sick of doing swaps though i have no motivation anymore to finish sometimes.
