I'm thinking of buying a B18a1 swap for my car... is the full swap worth $500 Canadian?
can you put V-Tech on it? if so this would make it a B18c1 right?
B18a1 has 130HP with Vtech it would have 170HP or somthing?
or do i need more like a ECU from a c1...

 

u mean can u put vtec head....v-tech is the phone...jk....but really....I am 100% doing the b18a (90/91 ls teg) next year as well....I honestly would stay obd0 because 10hp doesnt mean anything when the head is going to be full p/p..new cams...and I/H/E....so Ide say save ur $200+ on obd-1 wiring and invest in the engine..You can put on a b16a head which would make it lsvtec....and thats usually 170+hp.....

For full swap are you referring to b18a engine w/ complete wiring harness, intake, injectors, tb,,,all that stuff, tranny, axles, shifter cables, throttle cables, ECU, mounts??? cuz that would be a full swap... But if you can get all of that for $500...thats one good deal....but also what shape is the engine in?

For me personally im gonna buy an autopac writeoff for $100....as i will have the tranny/axles/engine/and everything else.

 

holy 4sd4dr...i just popped in and replied and u beat me...fast fast

 

ya for sure.....after I did my MPFI swap...i really wanted to help every single person with it...but now looking at the posts(not this one)..but the majority of em....the helping feeling dies quickly when they ignore what you tell them and dont search for most obvious answers......

 

yea well im just new to all of this stuff... i dont know the short names of the stuff just what it is and what i want... like everything is crazy numbers and stuff and it takes a while to figure it all out

but all I know is that its engine, tranny and ECU... I'm not sure what condition the engine is in just yet,... but he "says" it runs perfectly, I wanted the B18c1 Swap, but I figure that if this is a good deal I could just put a diffrent head on this swap


its going into my CRX DX... it should be a direct swap.

 

I know this is a STUPID question... but in order for me to do a swap, all i need is the block, head, tranny and ECU? anything else major? or will it wprk just as well... cuz i dont want to have a swap that runs like crap

 

You need b-series mounts for a 88-91 civic/crx..Hasport,hcp,placeracing,aznrace,etc
90-93 integra rear mount bracket..
Sir shiftlinkage or a hybrid piece..Hasport,hcp,etc..
You gotta convert to mpfi..Since you have a dx with dpfi
If the motor swap is obd0(90-91 b18a) you wont have to worry about wiring besides the mpfi..But if its obd1(92-93b18a) you have to convert the car to obd1.Or sell all the obd1 components on the motor and get obd0 stuff.
Yeah and you gotta make a nice big dent on the inner fender for alterantor clearence..And cut off the braket on the crossmember

and when/if you put the vtec head on I suggest converting to obd1 and running a p28 chipped for lsvtec..Blah,blah,search for the other ****
