And if you read more than the faq and searched you would already know the answer. To answer your question theoretically you could swap a b series. It wouldn't be cost effective and in some cases not legal.

Only Kswaps will work.

No B's, older D's, H's, F's, R's, J's, NOTHING...

Bud, I thought you would have noticed this already. You've been here a while. Haven't you noticed the numerous threads with people asking this same question?

To answer you directly, the only feasible swap (money wise) would be the K-series engines. B-series engines (mount up the same, so B18's mount up the same way B16's do), are EXTREMELY difficult and costly to swap into the 7th gen chassis.

but can we do b18s is the real question?

Yes, we can... Case in point:



But the real question lies in the fact of commercially available parts to DO that swap.

That is the only B I know of in an EM2, and ALL of that was custom fabricated stuff. Nothing from the car is commercially available.

To be legalistic, it was a B16/B15 Hybrid, but they all mount up the same.

I think you'll have fun with it, but I'll stick with my 7th gen until the bitter end.

Best of luck, though, bud.

Ive thrown around selling my 7thgen or sticking with it for some time now, and Im pretty sure this will be the car to have in 2-3 years. As it is the best looking, and lightest of the "newer" model civic's.
