ok here is the deal!! I have a 7thgen civic and i was wondering about a b-16 swap! does anyone know if it will be even possible? Any problems that anyone could see? i blew my current motor so i wanna see the possiblities and a RSX motor isnt feasable!

 

sorry, I don't know about the swap but how did you blow a civ motor?

 

i dont know if i blew it! I am gonna take the head off tommrow and check it out! I think i might have just blown the head gasket!! Ohh it was a 65 shot of happy gas!!

 

oh...i see.

 

Happy gas usually screws you just when you think your little Honda is bulletproof... Then, poof, it was gone. I hate it when that happens... Anyway, you'd need a new ECU because VTEC and VTECi or iVTEC (Whatever, I've seen it both ways) are two different things between K-series and B-series and it's all about the ECU when it comes to that one. New motor mounts, and hope to hell that the tranny's line up (Or a B-Series tranny will work too). Other than the stuff off the top of my head, you're running into uncharted territory my friend. You're best bet would be to find a rear end totalled RSX (Non Type S) and swap with that. Least amount of money with the least amount of questions.

 

Um, if im not mistaken, you dunno what ur talking about.... his civic is a 7g civc, not an 8g civic, 7g civic is based on d series motor.... which has absolutely nothing to do with k series engine, or ivtec, not vteci... its called ivtec, anyone that says otherwise is retarded
