Hi Peeps,

Been reading up on doing this conversion in to the EG/EH sedan civic, i've read conflicting things about B18C's being just a bolt in affair.

these links:

Yes - straight bolt on

No - mounts differ
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=97420&highlight=eh*

now if i get a front cut of a AUDM VTiR integra :

1. do i use all the mounts from the VTiR into the EH?
2. im guessing i can retain, A/C and P/S, question is, can i hook up all the existing lines to the B motors a/c compressor/condensor lines and p/s stuff? is there any need for custom work or does it all bolt up like normal?
3. from what i've read i can use the driveshafts from the VTiR into the EH, is that correct?
4. the VTiR ECU, can that be plugged into the existing engine loom into the EH, or would i need to transfer the entire VTiR engine loom in, or use a conversion harness? (im guessing that both would be OBD1)
5. do the shift linkages from the VTiR teg get used as well?
6. do the VTiR tegs front brake setup fit, and clear 15" rims?
7. is it worth upgrading to the VTiR tegs instrument cluster?
8. is there any differences between clutches? cable/hydraulic?
9. as the displacement is only a 12.5% increase, would there still be a need to get a engineers certificate for the brakes and the motor anyways?

ECU-MANs guide for b18 > EG, does this apply to a EH as well?
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30312
im guessing that i could disregard the ECU hooking up part as the vti sedan should have all these:

- power stearing Pressure switch signal
- power stearing Pressure switch Ground
- knock sensor
- O2 heater
- VTEC solenoid

i think that about covers everything, and seems quite comprehensive to me, if i've left something out please add

havent been able to find something about an EH conversion all in the one thread so i hope this helps, looking to take this route once i find a vti sedan and the motor blows/afford it.

cheers!

EH = EG SO YES everything will be the same.

ECU-MAN guide is perfect for what you need

1. Yes, vitr mount straight fit
2. Yes air con and p/s can be retain, get an air con place to custom cut and weld your old dseries line to the b compressure, or you can use the vtir a/c and radiator combo
3. YEs
4. Straight plug and play, both obd1 (assuming 94-96spec), dont need to change dash loom. Use the engine harness loom and connect it to the existing shock tower harness
5. YEs
6. Yes
7. No
8. No
9. No

Hope that helps
