Yes it can be done and it is no more expensive or innovative than doing it to a hatch or coupe...

Considering that most of the JDM B-16's sold in amreica are yanked from 4D civics..... I think he needs to retract his statement.

Re-read what I posted. Not once did I mention an American car. Why would I have put "JDM" if I was referring to a car available on the American market?Please allow me to rephrase it for you.... most JDM B-16’s are pulled from cars produced for the Japanese Domestic Market.

I think you missunderstood. He's trying to say that most JDM Motors sold to US americans are out of JDM Civic Sedans. Hence, J D M.

get some reputable motor mounts, hook everything back up just the way it came out and add the wires for the vtec solenoid and vtec press. switch. besides that i can't really think of anything else that might need work

Tell him to read this:

YOU'RE A ******* RETARD.

So after he reads that, I hope he wants to argue with me on any topic concerning Hondas.



The engine bays are 100% identical on the coupe, hatch, and 4-door provided the year models are the same.
