OK, I know I have been asking some stupid questions latley, but I came across a great deal on a B18C5 motor, I was wondering if there were any links to people that have done this. Should be fairly easy and strait forward. Just wanted to get advice and pointers. I know someone posted not too long ago but I can't seem to find the thread. TIA

 

what do you need to know?

The swap is straightforward. Since your GSR is OBD2a, you may need to get an OBD2b adapter if you want to run the P73 ecu.

Other than that, it's as simple as any B series VTEC swap in a DC chassis.

 

Yeah I basically just need to know what kinda ECU problems like wiring and stuff like that. This motor is a 97 and mine is a 95, do we need to trade the whole harness or do the make a conversion harness that is OBD1 to OBD2. I haven't ever seen one. But as far as clearance and all that sounds like everything will change right over. Any advice?

 

you could swap the entire engine harness over. it should be easy for you since you already have the motor out.

 

Cool you want to help LOL, This might be an interesting trip. I hope that I can do this easily. This car is all I have

 

good luck!

J's intake, bullfrog header, ecu chip, I think thats about it. I might be considering putting the money into my engine now. I have too much on my mind. I was just told that I could get a JDM engine for the same price as the trade. I can't decide which is best. What do you guys think?

 

might as well go jdm more power.

lol talk about a shameless plug

You might want to ask threatcon13, he has a JDM B18C-R in his '01 GSR

 

Thanks for all the useful info. I will get in contact with him

 

If your integra is a 95, then NO, its not OBD2a. If i were you, Id stay OBD1, get a chipped ecu, and just use your distributor and engine harness. Other than that, its all straight forward swapping.

 

believe he said the engine was from a 97.....OBD2

yes ham said that the engine was from a '97, but digital is saying that if the car is a '95, then it is not OBD2
