I want to do a B18C-R swap in a sedan I'm going to buy everything when i buy my motor (trans. ecu wiring harness uncut and axles) and I jsut want to know what the best year and model civic would be and the level of difficulty

 

come on I know u guys know some stuff I would really appreciate if someone could give me some good info or good links

 

well to my knolage 89 is the most compatable. 88 is the lightest of the bunch. I wouldint get a 90 or 91 cause they have non needed crap like auto seatbelts. also the 90-91 are a little diffrent in the wireing and plugs. for ex. the timing jumper is under pass. dash where as on 88-89 it's on driver fender wall.

i have a 91 sedan auto and it's just under 2400. i know of 88 sedans in the 1900-2000 range. the 89 is the most flexable IMO.

 

so do u have a 4DR EF yet or just asking to see which one to look for??

and the motor get the 97 JDM spec one if not try to find a USDM 98-00 ITR

and just get a jumper w/p28 ecu alot easier to tune and less problems then OBD2 or OBD2a/b

if u have anymore question ask

we 4DRs like to share and welcome new members

 

I also heard that u cant use the hydralic tranny but when i was looking for motor mounts they had kits for both cable and hydralic trannys so does anyone know anything about this also can anyone explain obd1/2 wiring that has me very confused

u can do a hydro swap and put a hydro trany in with a clutch master clyender. it's kinda tough though and IMO not worth it.

OBD 1 is a simpe ~8 wire addition when using a coverstion harness to easy it up. about 4 sensors and a 4 wire O2. Trust me. dont even look at OBD2 WAY TO MUCH CRAP for emisions. ur looking at ~ 20 new sensors + what u have and too restrictive in emmisions IMO DONT DO IT!

 

what about axles will i have any problems using the axles that come with the B18 will they fit?

 

is there anyone out there that can pretty much give me step by step instructions for wiring this set-up together tell me what i need to get and the easiest way to do it because wiring is the only thing that i haven't really done yet so this is a first for me
