b18c into ED

[CivicEGSI]

Sup, doing an engine swap atm, with a b18c into a ED, and the power steering pump wont fit :'( Is this always the case?:thumbdwn:

[markismaximus]

need more info dude.
what doesn't fit?

bolts don't fit?
bracket doesn't fit?
bonnet doesn't close/fit?
belt doesn't fit?
power steering lines don't fit?

very few, if any p/s pumps from different models will just bolt up to a different engine. especially early model D-series to late model B-series

I can tell you now the belts won't work. The ED pump uses a V-belt whilst the B18 will use a ribbed belt.

You may have 2 options depending on what "doesn't fit"

* change the pulley and change/modify the bracket to fit the block
* use the B18 ps pump and get custom lines made up by a hydraulic hose place

include pics and provide more info

[markismaximus]

care to share how it was sorted? seeing as though the idea of this forum thing is to share information for current and future users which may have the same problem

Dude calm down.

Just decided not to put it in, as it's got fairly light steering anyway. And the reason we couldn't put it in was because there wasn't enough clearance between the engine and the lights, so it wouldn't mount on.

I am calm. just trying to help other users

Dude calm down.


A "thanks for your suggestions" would have been a better choice of words.
