where's a good place to buy a b18b from? Full swap...Posted: Sun Oct 10, 2010 5:56 pm^^ Hmotors is the only online source that can be safely recommended. they're also close to the priciest...
Posted: Sun Oct 10, 2010 6:07 pmHmm thanks... I'm on a tight budget they're cutting hrs at work so things are super tight
Posted: Wed Jul 06, 2011 4:12 amdoes this also include swaping the tranny since it wasnt included in the list?? im a noob if ur asking lol
Posted: Thu Jul 07, 2011 2:41 amyes you must have a b series trans for a b series motor b trans are bigger than d series unless you get the conversion plate and a d to b swap should take like 3 hours thats how long it to me and i was alone

(correct me if I'm wrong) and the EX/Si had the full wiring & sensors. Any other years and you'll need to pin the wires into your ECU.
my 92 lx had it wired up to shock tower as well...it threw me off cuz when i went to the ECU to pin them in the ports were taken already...and my car was completely stock
Posted: Fri Jun 27, 2014 12:42 amcould someone compare the level of difficulty between b16a2 swap and b18c into an eg
Posted: Fri Jun 27, 2014 10:47 amIn all honesty they both are b series vtec motors, their difficulty is going to be almost identical.
If your lowered, the b18c does sit a little lower, so the endangerment to your oilpan is increased with the 18c. Really type r swaps and other swaps in eg's you can crank out in a good weekend if its your first time. Once you've done it a couple of times, about 4-8 hours for a swap is a common procedure.
If you are a dx, cx, vtec would have to be wired in, but i did it on my 88 civic sedan and it was cake, done it on tons of locals cars as well. super easy.

power steering
Posted: Fri Jan 16, 2015 3:34 amok so I like this thread! read through it but one thing id like some one to touch base on is the power steering. I bought my car with a b18b1 already swapped into it and there is no pump or lines or reservoir... so my question is do I use Integra pump lines and reservoir or eg pump lines and reservoir? thanks in advance and if this isn't the place for this post please let me know Im new to the online fourm thing..

I can answer that. I've got a B18C swap that maintains power steering and A/C. I used all the factory power steering parts on my 92 and it's been perfect so far.

Awesome thank you! I am going to the junk yard this weekend to get a pump and lines. we have lots of egs but no integras
