hey guys and girls
just finished a b18c7 type-r conversion into a EJ civic coupe
man this wasnt a easy job and all for $2000 labour! i got ripped :( but i learnt alot out of it and it was fun but also tired and sore
well i gonna write up what i've have done to make it work cause i cant find a write up on a b18c into a EJ or EK. so hope this help for all the people who wants to do this conversion. i might done some things wrong or in a different way but feel free to comment
will update 2morro cause it late and i just finished the conversion
i wish i have taken picture to make everything more easier to understand but i dont
its a EJ civic coupe and i had a smashed but whole car ingetra type-r DC2
did the engine swap along with brakes and hubs
just the basic of what you need to make the conversion successful not going into depth in taking the engine out
- i used the EJ engine mounts for the gearbox and lower gearbox and the lower timing side engine mount
for the top on the timing side cover i used the DC2 and used the EJ mounts and plate. the plate you have to drill the holes closer
- gotta change the crossmember which consist of the p/s rack too (what i've heard it steers betta)
so use both dc2 rear engine mount along with the crossmember
- dc2 gearshift linkages
- use the dc2 abs unit but it doesnt fit any of the mounts so u have to custom make it to fit
- dc2 radiator and a/c condensor along with the dc2 a/c hoses, need to drill hole to fit the a/c condensor and make up custom brakets to hold in the radiator
- dc2 front pipe and EJ cat but u have to cut the flange of the cat and rotate it so it lines up with the front pipe
- dc2 front brakes and hubs and suspension but the rear u have to use the EJ suspension and lower control arms where the suspension connect. dc2 handbrake cable and abs unit for the brakes
- dc2 fuel pump
- dc2 steering columb
change the whole wiring loom from both side and inside the car so u have to remove the complete dash and heater and air-con units. use the dc2 heater and a/c unit from the inside but the vents are slightly position incorrectly but it still good to use and i still get air coming through
you have to rewire the dimming knob, the clock and use the dc2 harzard light switch and defroster for the rear window. i also use the dc2 dash (rev and speed)
rewire the headlight plugs and indicator
there a plug that goes the the rear lights that also need to be rewired
if there anything u need to ask or i missed out feel free i cant think of anything else
