i have a b18b1 currently in my car and i am looking to get a spare motor to work on during the winter and i have the opportunity to get a complete b18a1 for 150
(head, im, tb, header, all sensors minus dist.)
what all would i have to do to make the a1 work with my b1 ecu
would i have to change out im tb and dist.
or would it not work and i would have to get a new ecu and dist.
let me know because this is a great deal and i dont want to pass it up

 

I'm not sure but the main difference would likely be the head. There are other parts that may be different too but I can't cnfirm at this point.

 

come on does anybody know

 

SEARCH its been coverd once a month for the last 3 years

only difference is the years. 90-93 and 94-01

 

so they changed the egine code just for the year? There has got to be a difference other than that?

 

not really, i think the only minor diff. is the cam profiles, im pretty sure theyre the slightest bit different.

 

b18b head flows a lil better, and cam profiles are hgiher. better mangment due to ecu differenmce were also resposible for the 10 hp difference between the 2 heads
