Hey guys, wanted to throw in a B18C2 in place of my D16Y4 in my EK1. I know have to swap over engine mounts, ECU/wiring and extractors. I heard Powersteering and A/C could be an issue, is there anything I need to be aware of to buy for this conversion? E.g CV'S, gearbox mounts I'm not sure of, radiator tubing, throttle/clutch cabling etc, and perhaps give me a rough figure all up?
Also, just to confirm, would DC2/ DC2R 5 stud hubs fit on a EK?
I'm still new to the Honda and car scene, only had my car for a year. Cheers guys, in advance. :)

-depending on year of swap motor you will need obd2 integra p/s pump (p72 vtir, itr works fine as well, use corresponding belt)
-find a b20 crv a/c bracket and re use d series a/c pump (use d series belt)
-use b18 cv
-you need a 32mm outlet/inlet radiator (can get dual core half size off ebay)
-use c2 throttle cable on c2 stock throttle body
-need to find replacement hoses for heater, they arent 100% in ek (in my experience)
-top vtir radiator hose is needed.
-bottom hose can get away with vtir hose (im using an itr hose)
-stock clutch line fits with a bit of imagination

dont think im missing any thing else..


cost...how long is a piece of string lol

don't rush. take ur time, replace all consumables while engine is out. (thermostat, perished hoses, water pump, timing belt and tensioner, plugs etc)
clean motor for easy diagnostic of leaks.

usually if your not familiar a half cut is better as it gives you all the extras you need + an idea where they should go
