1. alternator pulley - does it rub on the chassis and do you have to pound the chassis for clearance?

2. lower crossmember - does it have to be removed or modified after the swap for exhaust manifold clearances?

3. intake manifold - does it come real close to the firewall and rub on things. if so, what are fixes?

4. hood clearance - I've read motor mount shims need to be added or hood webbing needs to be cut out.

Please verify if these items are known issues when doing a B18C swap w/ hasport mounts.

Also, if anyone wants to add to the list anything I've missed....

 

1) you have to make a gent for the alternator.
2) rear x member just needs to be bent down a lil. Just read the instructions from hasport.
3) I think the IM is fine
4) yeah, the hood will scrape, so modification is needed with usdm front end.

you need the b16 engine mount bracket for the driver side(bolts imbetween the t-belt).

Are you goin hydro, or obd1 or anything?

The dent for your alternator...how do you do that? Is it in Hasports instructions as well? Do you just wack it w/ a hammer?

 

Get a big metal sledge hammer. If you use a little wimpy hammer like you use on nails or a rubber mallet you'll be there forever.

 

Thats true, and its in the instructions. Ryan

 

are there any other major concerns like this to consider when doing a B18C swap in an EF? i'm considering this swap in the future, and want to learn as much as possible about it.

you'll only have a clearance issue if you use a 4-1 header or JDM style 4-1

I'm using a 4-1 DC and will have to smack the front lower crossmember around abit

I used a jg header on my b16a swap and it didn't fit with the stock crossmember. Since your engine is a b18c I dunno but it's something to check before buying any aftermarket header. btw it's 4-2-1.
