Engine swap help/understanding

[Andreww221]

Hows it going!

I own an Auto '95 DC4 and a mate of mine reckons I can swap the engine with a manual DC2 engine but keep the 4speed auto trans.

Is this actually doable?

I can't get my head around the engine being built for 5 speed manual but still work with a 4sp Auto transmission?

Not really sure how engines work.

can be done, b18c2 dont come with factory auto so may need mods never done it myself so not to sure but i have a b18c2 engine gbox package if your intrested

[Andreww221]

Ahh, he reckons the bell housing is a directed swap?
how much are you looking at?

The ECU would be an issue if you where to do the conversion. No conventional P72 will run the AT.


There is a P72 with all 4 OBDI connectors that was for the Auto B18C3, this would require a PGMFI rewire.

Some info on this page may be of interest to you. Both the B18B that you've got and the B18C Vtec use the same ratios in the auto box, wheel and tyre sizes are a bit different. The 15x6's may have an effect on overall ratios slightly, but not by much I wouldn't think.
