You better of looking for a B18C oil sump due to the design of them. I had issues before when I was using a B18A oil sump and it did not clear my jdm headers. From what I believe the B18C are slightly bigger then a B16A oil sump.

But to answer your question yes it will fit

thanks 4 the advice :)
I think I have a b16 sump lined up.I might just try that shortly. But the question still remains, does anyone in Brisbane have a B18 sump they wanna sell ? ( or know where i might be able 2 find 1 ? ) :P

thanks

B18C2 sump has P72 on stamped into the base, if B16A has the same then yes

The answer is no...
The B18C has a girdle on mains 2, 3 & 4...
The B16A does not.
So the B18C requires a slightly deeper sump to accomodate it's deeper windage tray.

You can fit B18C sump to B16A without issue, but not the other way around.

thx alot TODA
i wasnt sure. but i think u just cleared it right up....

i guess i have a spair b16a sump then and i have 2 buy a B18c sump...

next question. would a B18cR sump work in my B18c2?

i think the Type R is more baffled ( better), should u get 1 ?

hey hang on a sec. I did some more reading...
Mr TODA as much as i trust you ( and im sure you know ur stuff),
Im still not convinced...

so many people seem to say they are the same, the B16a and B18c sump.

This is very interesting

since spoon has a different one for b16 and b18, but mugen one has a universal b series one. i understand that oem b16 and b18 is different as b18 holds more oil.

IMO.... it makes no difference if you base it on a 16a or 18c sump.

Pretty much the same. I know that the b18a is different.

sump fits B16 & B18 bottom ends.

yeah b18a are different. But b16a/b18c vtec engine sump are very similar.

im sorry i doubt you, its just i have a B16 sump already sitting next the car and i dont know what to do ( not wanting 2 blow up my motor or spend an unneccary $200+)

thx alot 4 ur time and help :)

Don't doubt Mr. Toda. He is right.. I know from experience that B16a oil pan won't fit a B18c.

kthxbye

Like said above. the b18c sump fits b16 but not vice versa...which would mean if mugen have a sump that fits both it must be based on the b18c sump

Mugen oil sump is OEM honda P72 b18c oil sump with their own baffled design.
