What engines will fit?

[splintercracks]

Hey everyone,
I have a 93' Civic, 1.5L Carby. And 'want' to do an engine conversion to a B16A or even B16B.
But i'm new to the whole Honda/VTEC scene.
My question is - What 'B' engines will fit into the civic? i.e B18C or B20 etc..
Coz I have heard all around the place what will and won't. Changes everywhere.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers.

they all fit

lol, any b-series will fit into eg/ek chassis, all u need to do is change the mounts to suit the motor..

Being carby, ur gonna have to swap to efi as well....

[TheSaint]

common swap include but are not exclusive to

D16y8 (ek vti), D16z6 (?), D15bvtec (jdm eg civic)
b16a (older hondas crx etc), b16a2 (ek vtir + em1 vtir), b16b (ek type-r), b18c2 (dc2 vtir), b18c7 (dc2 type-r), B20 (frankenstiein)
H22a (prelude vtir + some accord)
K20a2 (dc5 type-r + ep3 type-r), K20z1 (dc5 type-s)



you will have to convert wiring, fuel tank and fuel lines from carby to efi

and you will need to choose wiring + harness + ecu depending on engine + year (obd0, obd1, obd2)

best way to do it is get a whole front cut with everything u need and swap it in - see jonos build thread - hes doing the same thing at the moment

most engines in hondas will be swappable - and even the ones that arnt - there will be conversion kits / engine mounts etc available

it all comes down to:
A. how much money you have
B. what do you want out of the car

Awesome. Cheers guys.
I'm pretty much aiming for the same as Jono, street legal. I was originally thinking a B16A, coz I thought that was the only thing that could fit without any major dramas.
Either that or a B18C is on the cards now.
Need space, and someone with the know how. Hahaha.
And a 2nd car, while this is in progress.

thats offensive =/

I've been doing a lot of research on this lately actually. After converting to EFI, any B or D series engine will fit no problems. You'll have no troubles getting a B16, B18 or B20 to fit.

[splintercracks]

Hahahahah!! I'm a ford man, if anything.

And cheers Symphorced, good to know. Just have to find a decent priced and in decent condition B18, I reckon.

You'll find everything you need to know about the conversion on this site so have a search around. Here's what I dug up just fron the stickied threads:
