Actually with customisation it's possible, you just need to fabricate the radiator support, then customise the guards.

[tiksie]

If your talking about a straight swap, answer is no.

If your asking if it's 'possible', then yes..With customisation as Tony stated.

[Q_ball]

The front end would prolly cost more than the car itself LOL

[thebob]

Lines will all be wrong to. Eh is a box, teg has curves.

[EK1.6LCIV]

fibreglass, time and funds will be your friends :D

[VTi_b0i]

do it! on the cover of an old hot4s issue, it had a EH civic sedan, with the AUDM ITR front end, and it looked quite kool, so naturally a JDM front end could be done aswell

[90LAN]

just need a welder and grinder
some one do a photoshop

[MikeyG]

as every1 said... money... thats all u need... if u got money then yes... if not then dont bother... over in the states theres some em1's that have done before ask them since their freaks n all

yep lan and quat is correct.

you need to fabricate the radiator support to fit i dunno what parts exactly dont fit, but after that just weld it on. then you need to cut front part of bonnet and fab dc2 part on it
. and also you need to fabricate original fenders with half of the teg fenders.

then should be just case of lining it up.

[Mugen_B16B]

same way the POV eg [ek front] did there car, cut fenders, make sure to test fit and align up then start welding, lining it all up is the bitch part

but like qball said, its gonna cost more then your car and imo i wouldnt waste the money

[EK1.6LCIV]

all you also need is a panel beater that is as crazy as you are :D

they exist. one on the northside who would do this sort of thing

[3iuuop]

i herd its a straight fit onto a pulsar like urs, why dont u give it ago. its the closest ur ever gonna get to having a honda buddy.

how the fcuk is an EH a box? :S

[minhtrii]

i've seen alot of hatches such as ek and eg been done to it but about the eh im not sure. the eh front and the eg front are abit different. the eh front is a little bigger and wider. i know this because i put an eh lip on an eg and theres a little gap. hope i helped you a little.

[trism]

i reckon itd suit EH better than eg hatch

[ninzee]

dam those egs look hot with a jdm itr conversion

[POITER]

Anything is possible, all you need is money.

[ninzee]

how much would labour cost routhly is it worth doing lol that eg got me :(

[R_RaTeD]

alot of custom modifications .
but it can be done if you are committed to finishing it .
just do some research .

do it like this but without the ugly front bar ...

$4000 is a lot of money to be different, the first grey one at the bottom of page 1 looks awesome tho, but that same money could put a B16A in it..

[dougie_504]

Honestly if you're not happy with the D16Y1 (assuming you have the VTi) then you could always consider a B16A swap. They're generally $2,000-2,500 cheaper, so for the same amount of money you could probably put the engine in and do a great I/H/E setup with some engine management and dyno tuning to boot (flywheel, injectors etc).
It would pull just as well for the same price. The B18C is also heavier than the B16A and I've been told by some friends who have done the B18C swap that sometimes it's just a little too heavy for the chassis and the handling of the car can suffer.

Otherwise, yes it's possible but you have to fiddle around a lot...

[ninzee]

yea all tru its nice 2 dream lol might think of putting a b20 bottom on my b16a head will cost the same lol

[NTQUIK]

its not that hard drill off front radiator surport and weld dc2 front in place i would use the eh gaurds as they already have the shape of the car and your have the front modify too the dc2 head lights

thats looks heaps good ...
is that yours ?

[NTQUIK]

nah not mine needs a rear lip and some cp-f then i would own it

[thebob]

Ok, I have done the JDM swap to my ej8. You will need all the same stuff you need to do the swap to a Teg. Put the bonnet on first, you will not need to modify this. Then put the rad support on. Make sure it all lines up, might want to put head light and bar on too just to make sure, when your happy with it all pull it off and weld it on. Then put seam sealer over the welds. Depending on the lines of your car will determine were you cut the 2 1/4s. My panel beater spent 8 hours perside getting mine to flow right. Being the EG you might not even need to cut your 1/4s because most of the eg dc items are swapable. Then after you got all that on and lines up, need to paint it. Then pull it all back off and wire it up, then put it back on. IMO if you wanting to do a engine swap, i would look at bringing over a complete DC2R so you can do interior, brakes, engine and front for alot cheaper then buying seperate. Pm if you want to know more. You will also lose your window bug things as dc2's arent on the bonnet.
