B18 (teg Vtir) into Ek

[LowEk]

Hey just wondering if anyone knows if this is possable and what would have to be modifyed for it to fit i know they bolt into the eg i want the b18 cos i dont want the front end weight of a H22a but more power than the b16.

Thanks,
LowEk

straightforward swap

[dr180]

you can use a B18 crank and rods that might be a cheaper alternative be the same as a B18C

[LowEk]

my local Hondarec said it was not a straight foward swap and if it is why cant u get mounts from hasport.com getting a b18 crank and rods wont be worth changing i may as well do a b16 and get better rods and pistons i see it as not worth it i just want a b18 straight up if anyone else out there knows anything on this swap i want to know.

hasport mounts cost $$$ dont they?

anywho, good luck wit teh conversion

[LowEk]

yer they cost heaps but my point was is that they dont list them for a b18 hence prolly dont bolt straight in maybe i dont know really.

it's 'bolt in'

[toE]

im pretty sure it's a straight swap, as EKs - the VTi-R ones - are B16s, so...u would think the B18s would be easy to fit, true?

besides, i think speedracr has done it before, hence it's safe to say he knows his stuff. :)

but hang on...in ur title u say EK, but in ur post, u say EG...which is it? u want the b18 in ur EG or EK?

[type one]

you can't get mounts from hasport cos they use the same mounts... u sure you went to a honda wrecker and not a toyota wrecker?

alternatively were they trying to sell you another idea?

Dude read his post properly, he said he KNOWS it bolts into a EG :) He probably wants to know if its the same with a EK.

Type One yes my local HONDAREC thats wot its called its not called HONDAREC and rec TOYOTA PARTS do they??? i work at TOYOTA so i think i know wot im talking about maybe a bit more so than u ok that make 2 people that have said straight bolt in so it must but if anyone has done it i would like to know what is involved in the conversion.

Mate settle down a bit. You just joined here and are goin a bit crazy! Chill :) I been to Hondarec a few times, good for parts n stuff but I am not too sure about their knowledge of engine conversions and atuff (not saying they are bad, just saying I do not know).

[sivic]

so true. knowing about spare parts doesnt necessarily mean knowing about putting them together. one certain honda spare parts place tried to tell me a D15 box would match up a ZC :thumbdwn: . i think type one may have been jking slightly by his remark so take it with a grain of salt.
also, working at a dealership etc.. doesnt instantly give a bounty of wisdom on such topics over others. respect the fact that there are a lot of ppl on here who seriously know their stuff without working for car manufacturers.
but anyway, it is pretty much a straight swap. hasport do the mounts but you prob dont need them if you getting a half cut as i'm fairly sure (some one clarify?) that the factory mounts will fit, since your b18 will have to come from a DC2 which share the same basic chassis as ek's. either way it's really no diff to a b16 going in and there are plenty of them done

[speedracr]

I used to own an EK with a B18C in it. My friend put the exact same motor into an EG. It is as straight forward a swap as they come. You can use OEM mounts.

hehe...yer..i just did. :o

if people could only blardy use fullstops and commas... :p

[LowEk]

thanks speedracr that is what i was looking for. the only reason i went off was wot remark do u expect for a smart ass question that type one asked. how did your ek go with the B18 speedracr??? any mods i want to set my car up for street/track thats y i want to start with the B18.

Sorry to highjack, but if you have a D16 moving to a B18 on an EK i think you will need a different rear motor mount and possibly one side mount, i can't remember if it was left or right, then you will need a new front or rear transmission mount also.

[MRJDM]

b18 in an ek, u need EK b series mounts

[LowEk]

so MRJDM if i get Ek VTIR B16a mounts will that be what i need ??? thats what i need to know sikcivic i get some people say its bolts straight in and others say i need to change mounts. ive done a conversion before on a previous car and people said it bolds straight in so i did the conversion but ran into a few probs where it did not bolt straight in its the small things they did not tell me about which made it a pain in the ass it sounds about right to get the EK b mounts thanks MRJDM.
LowEk

[speedracr]

no no no i think you are misinterpreting what I said... what I meant was that you can use OEM mounts - you don't have to have custom/aftermarket mounts, which would be the case if you wanted to fit an H22A or K20A.

You will need b-series mounts.

[MRJDM]

lowEK- no prob u got any other questions just ask. ive got a b18 in my ek

[95_CVC]

Hey, slightly off topic but reading these gave me a question to ask. I've got a 95 EG and obviously not satisfied with the 74kw or whatever it is. I want to put in H22a and perhaps turbo eventually... but the weight factor was mentioned above, so i'm not sure. How much roughly would it cost to get a conversion to a H22a? or even the B18 like lowEK is asking?

Thanks in advance

lowEK- no prob u got any other questions just ask. ive got a b18 in my ek

are you still doing the k20a ek????
