Hello Boys and girls and every1 else whos intrested in changne motors in an EG.
This is for all you Noobs who dont bother to search and keep on posting the Question...
"Man my EG is so slow i hear an engine conversion will give it more up and go, How much and were blah blah blah"
so to stop all these threads from poping out. i have made a thread based on my experience and the rescources found on the forums.
*any info you think is incorrect please correct me*

EG's come in both Carby and EFI form
Carby equipped cars are

EG3 (Breeze)
EG4 (GL/later model Breeze)
EFi equipped cars are
EG4 (Gli)
EG5 (Si/Vti)
EG8 (Gli)

Engines Available..

Okay. to be honest there is a heap of engines that can fit in a civic. starting from our 1.6L SOHC VTEC engines to the V8 Chev engines. All these are possible with the help of our friend money, ALot of it.
Anywayz we'll just focus on the most common coversions.

B16a Engine cnversion (DOHC VTEC )

So far the most common and popular engine conversion.
the B16a is found in many civics starting from the EF9,EF8,EG6,EG9,CRX DELSOL,EK4, etc
though since the australian RTA rules stats that putting an engine that is old than the chassis is illegal. (ie puting a 92 model B16a into a 94 model GLi is illegal)
Putting a B16a into a EG is pretty simple. half cuts can be bought for 3.5-4K
though the B16as are getting rarer and rarer and pricier due to the popular demand.
these are rated at around 125kw for a JDM spec and 116Kw for a AUS spec B16a2
Some of us maybe confused by the engne codes (ie B16a, B16a2, B16a3,4, etc. Do not be afraid it is stll a B16a it just tells u where the engne was intended for.
B16a (JDM only sold in japan)
B16a2 (AUDM and some Asian countries )
B16a3 (Asian and European markets etc)
B16a4 is for another non JDM market

here is a DIYarticle that i put together some time ago
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5953

B18c Engne coversion (SIR-G/VTIR/ Type R) DOHC VTEC

This engine conversion is also pretty popular.
B18c engnes can be found in DC2 integras. B18c is the SIR (JDM), VTIR(AUDM) or the GSR (USDM) motor. this engine is rated 125-130kw depending on the specs.

The B18cR the most hardcore out of the box Honda DOHC VTEC engine.
these motors are rated 141KW for the AUDM Spec and 145KW for the JDM Spec.

compared to te B16a's these motors are very torqey. the B18c SIR and the B16a might have the same peak power but. the B18c's extra torque gives the car a very fast point to point acceleration.

Heres a DIY artive done by ECU-MAN (GOD OF DIY :D)

http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30312

B18c halfcuts can be picked up for around 4-5K for a JDM SIR-G cut and
7-8k for a B18cR cut depending on the specs 96, or 98 spec.

H22a Engine coversion Prelude SIR/VTIR/type S

This engine conversion i am not familar but.
these engines can be found in the Gen 4,5 prelues, Accord Type R's etc
H22as can be picked up pretty cheap compared to the B serise has they are not as popular.
H22a's are very very torquey. There are few cars on the forums with H22a's and the can run mid to high 13's easy.

A DIY ariticel Done by Honda B blastn
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5796&highlight=h22a

H22as are rated at arond 142KW. but custom mounts such as hasports etc are needed to fit in into a EG

General Questions Asked

Here are some of the General Questions that i have seen on the forums that have been asked so many times.

Q.Do i need to upgrade my brakes if i do a engine coversion ?
A.Yes you do for safety (stop better) and to get a engineers certificate

Q.How much would a work shop charge me for labour?
A.1.5-2K depending n the work shop rate

Q.Can i use my old ECU for the new engine
A.No you can not each ECU is designated for each engine

Q.Can i use my old gearbox for the new engine
A.Yes depending on the engine if you have a Bb16/B18c gearbox and want to match it to a another Bserise engine yes u can. other wise No

Q.Can i use my stock exhaust on my new engine.
A.Yes but only up till the cat. the headers will be different if u have a different seriser engine ( ie D serise header wont for a B serise engine)

If you have anymore questions plz feel free to ask me

good info
BUT i think u got some power figures wrong.
jdm b16a isnt 125kw atw, and aus b16a isnt 116 kw atw.
maybe you meant horsepower?
or just 125kw (170hp) and 118kw(160hp). NOT atw.

as far as the whole b16a2/b16a3 argument... the designation isn't really where it's from, as much as when it's from...

here in the US, the b16a3 was the obd1 motor, with the a2 taking over with obd2... same in europe, etc

What do you do after you do the engine conversion? Engineers certificate, bule slip, how to rego?

have u got any info on obd1 and obd2 issues??

[[d a n n y]]
01-08-2006, 11:35 AM
OBD1/OBD2 issues can be simply fixed by a conversion harness
if u want to put in a B18cR into a EG GLi or Si. using the same harness
all u need to do is add the conversion harness and 3 wires on the strut tower

[[d a n n y]]
05-12-2006, 04:01 PM
B16B would be a good engine IMO go alittle extra and for the JDM B18cR

Hey man I love your stuff Danny, I am coming back in2 the car game after recently buying a honda 600RR and not looking back, picked up a really cheap body kit and wanna finish my EG by putting a B18C in, I live in QLD, do you know any cool places here that do Honda engine conversions that are not hard out on the fees? You said around 1.5-2K, they peeps I've been ringing are saying they will charge me like 3-4K. Can you help me out? (Yes a noob question....)

guys i was just wondering does the b18c a twin cam? and also i was planning to have a LSD short shifter, would it be compatible with the b18c?

[[d a n n y]]
08-05-2007, 03:07 PM
B18c is a Twin cam VTEC motor.
if u want LSD get the ITR or CTR gearbox it will give u shorter ration and LSD
and yes it is compatible with the B18c

dexturd
08-05-2007, 03:12 PM
thanx for that...btw i just registered so sory if i ask alot of questions in future =] :thumbsup:

dexturd
08-05-2007, 03:21 PM
whic gearbox would be better off getting though, as in performance wise? and whats the diffrence between the two?

[[d a n n y]]
08-05-2007, 09:11 PM
ITR and CTR are very similar both have LSD
though the ITR has slightly shorter gear ratio as the finakl drive is 4.7 compared to the CTR 4.4
this means ITR gearbox will give u better acceleration but on highway driving you'll be doing 4K rpm at 110km/h

dexturd
09-05-2007, 12:20 PM
btw i live in melbourne, do you know any places where i can get a cheap
b18c engine? and how much in total would it be to get the b18c,with the lsd short shift, blue prints and labour? you reckon $10k would be enough for everything?

dexturd
09-05-2007, 12:35 PM
also for a engine upgrade like that on my car, i will need to change my break system right? coz for now i only have disc breaks at the front and drums at the back...

[[d a n n y]]
10-05-2007, 06:39 PM
brakes are adviseable
b18c with blue print u mean? whole rebuilt?
that will not come cheap
converting your whole car will cost about 10K
then rebuilt to sumthing decent is another 5K
what i advise is spend 10K on it to get it running with new brakes and engine etc
and when the engine shows abit of age via smokes coming out and bearing noises over haul the engine then.

yes the 88 crx SIR uses B16a but it's the cable clutch version rated at 160 hp only

the 2nd gen, B16a has 170hp they should pull out anywhere between 85-90 kw atw

Hey [[d a n n y]]

I'm getting a B18C2 swap into my EG5 and I have few questions..

1. Can I keep my close to brand new heavy duty clutch and lightweight Fly wheel, Its rated to 250kw?
2. As my EG already has all round disk brakes, can I get away with not doing the brake upgrade?
3. Will the bonnet close like stock as I hate how some EG’s have the front of the bonnet raised on swaps?


Thanks bro

LukeZen

[[d a n n y]]
09-07-2007, 03:00 AM

B18c2 is a good swop
u cant use your clutch and flywheel cuz D serise stuff doesnt fot with B serise engine.
you can keep your brakes though it'll be a good idea to swop as the Vti brakes where designed for the Vti engine and wont stop as well with the extra 20-30 kw you will be getting.
As for the bonnet i had no troubles in my swops so i dont see why you would have any problems

fatboyz39
09-07-2007, 10:19 AM
yeap danny sum it up nicely. Brakes won't needed to be upgraded. Bonnet will close as like a stock one would.

Can't use D clutch or flywheel.

B16a Engine cnversion (DOHC VTEC )

though since the australian RTA rules stats that putting an engine that is old than the chassis is illegal. (ie puting a 92 model B16a into a 94 model GLi is illegal)



Just wondering, so it's illegal to put B16 from ek4,9 or k20 or k24?
How do i register the car then?

bennjamin
15-10-2007, 11:45 AM
quote to the insurance company that it is a replacement engine for its capacity , i dont believe it will warrant an insurance hike.
All you need to do is make sure the engine is same age or newer than your chassis , and just take the car to a registered mechanic that can write up a blueslip for "adjustment of records".
He will send the new engine number into the RTA and you are all good.

Please try and find the exact info ~ the rules , as of the last time i got my car blue slipped ( about 4 months ago) were that -

The engine would be within +15% displacement.
It would come from similar or based chassis (IE DC engine into a EG etc)

These are the basic set , to legally install a new engine into your ride without major engineering.

I did a comparison for both myself as the driver/owner and as my parents being the driver/owner, it didn't go up as bad as I thought it would with my parents, but the figure for myself is scary, I try and dig up the quote but I think I've lost it now... This was for a CRX ED9 gone B16A.

Just wondering If anyone can help me as I have put a b16 into my eg4, but now the wipers do not return to the home postion when I turn them off, my intermediant wipers do not work neither does the horn, the interior light only works from the pasenger door so does the warning beeper for the lights.
I changed the complete wiring loom from the left head light, to computor, the dash loom both of them and the loom that goes from the right head light back to the under dash.
I might be missing a relay or two as new your right foot under the dash I have three pugs not used one is a three pin plug, one is a two pin plug and one is a ten pin plug.
Thanks in advance

Would be far more cost affective to just buy a Civic with the upgraded motor already in it.. and you will have to convert to EFI and well and that will add even more to the total swap cost.



There's also someone selling one on here from week to week lol

I didnt read anything in the original post about the 93 VEi model (now i do, opened my eyes)........lol they are rare and a dying bread but still around some places........

Anyway, to my question..........

Is it feasible to do an engine upgrade on a VEi? Or is it much better to sell and purchase a model more fit for a bigger engine?

DreadAngel
18-12-2007, 12:31 AM
It don't matter what EG series it is...

Just that a few things to consider like converting to EFi, what motor you want to drop in. Something to note though later on if you do choose to sell, Sedan's with B/K series don't go for much at all compared to the Hatch.

if it has a inlet manifold ( long silver metal thing at the back of the engine) the its EFI.
If it has ALOT of rubber hoses all over teh top and rear of the engine , then its carbied.

Fantastic thread!

So just curious...I have a 94 EG5 Civic Sedan (EH9 chassis). It's got the stock D16Y1 96KW SOHC VTEC engine in it, and I'm dreaming of dropping in a H22A 200-220HP engine...so I would need:

*H22A engine
*New brakes? (currently got 4 wheel disc brakes, dunno specs)
*New ECU?
*New gearbox?
*New exhaust?

Including labour, I'm guessing this would cost something like $3,500-5,000?

Hey all,

After some advice on upgrading from a twin carb engined EG4 to a EFI engine as one has come up at a pretty good price.

Granted I'm not expecting a huge leap in performance its just the current engine is getting on a bit and is going to need a fair bit of work over the next year as its up to 230000k's and starting to show.

I am toying with this idea at present however am a bit of a novice so just trying to work out what I am going to be looking at before I commit to it.

I guess what I'm trying to determine is what else am I going to need to do this, as its just the bare engine I would be buying.

I'd be swapping from the D15B4(twincarb) to the D16Y4 if that helps at all?

Any advice/assistance you can offer would be greatly appreciated

trism
26-10-2008, 04:57 PM
12-15k would be doing it cheap too...

Engine + trans = 6-8k
Mounts/axles/harness = 1700
clutch line/fuel setup = 700
all new fluids/some gaskets etc = 200
intake/headers/exhaust = 1500
ECU/Hondata = 1500
misc bits and pieces i cant think of = 200
rad/hoses/fan = 300 - 1k
If your EG isnt EFi = 600
brakes/suspension upgraded = 1-3k
engineers cert/registration/RWC etc = 2k

Adds up real quick. They are some quick estimates for you.. I'm sure theres things i missed.

You could save money buying used parts etc.. But overall, the swap ends up expensive in the end. You will no doubt find things that need replacing along the way aswell.. I just spend close to $100 on 2 new OEM ball joints that needed replacing... All these things add up...

just a question that i have been attempting to research on (obviously not hard enough)
p platers under the new law cannot have a mod plate for the engine on the car they own/drive, yet i recently came across a picture on this forum (cant remember where abouts i saw it here however) of a eg civic with a b16a in it and the car owner was a p plater on the new laws
now i understand that a engine swap does not require a certificate if you fit another engine offered by the manufacturer for the vehicle in question, but i thought all audm eg civics came with d series engines?
sorry if some of the information is incorrect i am still learning about cars and i was hoping to buy a eg breeze and do the b16a swap until i came across this

jdmEG5
10-01-2009, 07:00 PM
what you can do is, you can buy the car and use one of your parent's name who has a full license, that way, maybe chances are, you are able to do an engine swap. So basically, the car is under your dad's name ( for example ) and + if its under a person that is a full license, it is cheaper for insurance as well.

im just guessing, dont know if it will work, just a thought

replace the harness with the B16A's respective OBD 1or2 harness and ecu. makes life easier to just rip the old one out and put the new one in. no messy wire chopping and joining. also, your crx has non-vtec ecu thus i dont think its possible to run a b16a (obviously a vtec engine) off it.

Yup

Just lookup 0db2 pin outs and connect accordingly :thumbsup:

But why are you wiring up a odb2 sensor when your cars odb1?

hi all, few questions. has it been done or can it be done, fitting a b18a into a 91 gl civic with carby engine. now i have just purchased a full 92 integra complete with the b18a and is manual.

now i think i need hasports mounts to mount the b18a into the car, and the rest i can figure out, but the wiring is going to be the tricky one can any one help or point me in right direction, also the rear brakes from the integra will they fit my civic, i pretty sure my car is obd0 and the integra is obd1? has this been done? and will the integra fuel tank fit my car? and i think i have to change the lines thanks

i got the car cheap, hence why i going to use it. future plans are for a turbo b18a. once it in and little problems ironed out. something like gt28rs or similar. i went the b18a route, purely cost, and you can still get lots aftermarket gear for them.
i located in bathurst nsw, so any help would be great. i need to minise down time on car as it my daily. can maybe afford 1 week of road plus week ends thanks in advance.

[[d a n n y]]
03-05-2010, 10:15 AM
yes it will but you will have trouble with the wirings..
EK B16a is a OBD2
you really need a EG6 or EG2 OBD1 B16a

hey danny, i bought an SI EH with a B18/B20 block with all the mods but its still got either the stock eh ecu or stock b18 vti-r ecu.

I want to change the ecu to Hondata s200 but am not sure exactly what comes with the ecu as each guy selling one is selling it with something different.

What do you recommend? Your help would be appreciated! Cheers

just get a stand alone ecu like power FC or sumthing
or get a hondata chipped into your stock ECU and get it tuned

Yeah I'm using my VTi loom now just added the 4 wires for the 02 but its dying with age,

I changed me heat sensor for the cluster and both ends broke off without hardlly any pulling, re-wired but shows how crap she is..

Chance if finding an EG6 loom?

Hey guys,
Sorry to knock the thread on but have the following question for B18CR Swap into EG.

Can you use D-series compressor on B-motor. Any brackets necessary?

What about power steering pump? Should belt be standard B18 belts?

Oh, can B16 A/C Compressor fit onto B18 without issue?

Can someone provide rough prices for a B18C (C2, C7 Aus or C7 Jap) conversion or a K20A (Aus) conversion?

I'm deciding if i'll be a tight ass and sell the car, or drop a new engine in her.

Last time I played around with it it was about $8k for B18C7 Jap or almost $15k for K20A. This was over 2 years, so I'm expecting/hoping the prices have dropped a lot.

Check the marketplace, transplants going around $5k or so. I got quoted $6k to $7k workshop prices though.

];779508']Hello Boys and girls and every1 else whos intrested in changne motors in an EG.
This is for all you Noobs who dont bother to search and keep on posting the Question...
"Man my EG is so slow i hear an engine conversion will give it more up and go, How much and were blah blah blah"
so to stop all these threads from poping out. i have made a thread based on my experience and the rescources found on the forums.
*any info you think is incorrect please correct me*

EG's come in both Carby and EFI form
Carby equipped cars are

EG3 (Breeze)
EG4 (GL/later model Breeze)
EFi equipped cars are
EG4 (Gli)
EG5 (Si/Vti)
EG8 (Gli)

Engines Available..

Okay. to be honest there is a heap of engines that can fit in a civic. starting from our 1.6L SOHC VTEC engines to the V8 Chev engines. All these are possible with the help of our friend money, ALot of it.
Anywayz we'll just focus on the most common coversions.

B16a Engine cnversion (DOHC VTEC )

So far the most common and popular engine conversion.
the B16a is found in many civics starting from the EF9,EF8,EG6,EG9,CRX DELSOL,EK4, etc
though since the australian RTA rules stats that putting an engine that is old than the chassis is illegal. (ie puting a 92 model B16a into a 94 model GLi is illegal)
Putting a B16a into a EG is pretty simple. half cuts can be bought for 3.5-4K
though the B16as are getting rarer and rarer and pricier due to the popular demand.
these are rated at around 125kw for a JDM spec and 116Kw for a AUS spec B16a2
Some of us maybe confused by the engne codes (ie B16a, B16a2, B16a3,4, etc. Do not be afraid it is stll a B16a it just tells u where the engne was intended for.
B16a (JDM only sold in japan)
B16a2 (AUDM and some Asian countries )
B16a3 (Asian and European markets etc)
B16a4 is for another non JDM market

here is a DIYarticle that i put together some time ago
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5953

B18c Engne coversion (SIR-G/VTIR/ Type R) DOHC VTEC

This engine conversion is also pretty popular.
B18c engnes can be found in DC2 integras. B18c is the SIR (JDM), VTIR(AUDM) or the GSR (USDM) motor. this engine is rated 125-130kw depending on the specs.

The B18cR the most hardcore out of the box Honda DOHC VTEC engine.
these motors are rated 141KW for the AUDM Spec and 145KW for the JDM Spec.

compared to te B16a's these motors are very torqey. the B18c SIR and the B16a might have the same peak power but. the B18c's extra torque gives the car a very fast point to point acceleration.

Heres a DIY artive done by ECU-MAN (GOD OF DIY :D)

http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30312

B18c halfcuts can be picked up for around 4-5K for a JDM SIR-G cut and
7-8k for a B18cR cut depending on the specs 96, or 98 spec.

H22a Engine coversion Prelude SIR/VTIR/type S

This engine conversion i am not familar but.
these engines can be found in the Gen 4,5 prelues, Accord Type R's etc
H22as can be picked up pretty cheap compared to the B serise has they are not as popular.
H22a's are very very torquey. There are few cars on the forums with H22a's and the can run mid to high 13's easy.

A DIY ariticel Done by Honda B blastn
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5796&highlight=h22a

H22as are rated at arond 142KW. but custom mounts such as hasports etc are needed to fit in into a EG

General Questions Asked

Here are some of the General Questions that i have seen on the forums that have been asked so many times.

Q.Do i need to upgrade my brakes if i do a engine coversion ?
A.Yes you do for safety (stop better) and to get a engineers certificate

Q.How much would a work shop charge me for labour?
A.1.5-2K depending n the work shop rate

Q.Can i use my old ECU for the new engine
A.No you can not each ECU is designated for each engine

Q.Can i use my old gearbox for the new engine
A.Yes depending on the engine if you have a Bb16/B18c gearbox and want to match it to a another Bserise engine yes u can. other wise No

Q.Can i use my stock exhaust on my new engine.
A.Yes but only up till the cat. the headers will be different if u have a different seriser engine ( ie D serise header wont for a B serise engine)

If you have anymore questions plz feel free to ask me

Thanks op
