Basically i want to put a B18C into my ED Sedan, this will be expensive i know but thats coll because i love my car and cant part with it.
So i need to know exactly what parts etc i need then i want to work it and have a NA beast, as much as a civic can be....
If anyone out there can help wiring diagrams MPFI info im running Dual Carbs at the mo on a D15b, suspensions, brakes, mounts, engineering etc

Also i live in perth so i know that parts are hard to get.

Thanks -Paul

Ok first off your going to need a front cut so ecu, engine, gearbox and wiring harness (the front disks as well if you want to stop the thing.).
Your going to need a new fuel pump and fuel lines going from carby to injection. Your going to need custom mounts or hasport mounts(www.hasport.com). Your going to need helms manuals for your car and the donor car (I’m guessing B18c so Integra VTIR) so you know how to take everything apart. Your going to need axles as the b18 ones are going to be too long. I almost forgot your going from cable clutch to hydro clutch so you’re going to need a converter or a cable b series gearbox (more money) I’ve probably missed a heap of stuff as well.

Some things you should think about if you’re going to do the swap.
If you do put this engine in the car it will sit very low and have big risk hitting the header and cracking the oil sump. You can’t lower the car for this reason (you could get a custom bonnet made that had a dent in it to rase the engine up).

The cost factor, you’re not going get much change out of 8k and that’s just in parts. I would hate to see the labour bill for this

Front cut 4000
Hasport mounts 1000
Fuel pump and lines ??
Shift linkage ??
Axels ??
Cable to Hydro conversion ??
All the small gear like oil and coolant 300


At the end of the day it’s not worth it. Sell your car and go buy an eg breeze for 5k and half the swap problems will go away. Or even better go buy a 96 civic VTIR you can pick one of those up these days for around the cost of doing this conversion.

If you must keep this car I would buy Tinkerbell’s b16a swap from him and get him to install it for 3500

If you are convinced that you must do this swap there is heaps of information on
