hi there, im a newbie to this engine swap thing... just need a few opinions. would some1 be able to help me on how this hybrid (jdm b18cr in eg) performs (1/4 mile time), like in stock form with maybe a catback and cai. reason is i am looking to do the swap. and will it be possible to fit it in a EG civic, the GL model with 1.5L carby motor. i think the engine mounts are the same just the wiring confused me. and roughly how much is a 98 jdm b18cR half cut is worth these days. cheers guys!
Yes it will fit and let me say that the car will be a little rocket. Why do you want a JDM B18C though? Just get one here in Aus, should be cheaper.
Price wise, you are looking at about $6-8k for a half-cut. Apparently someone on this forum knew a place that can get them for $5k but i forgot who or where it was.
Have you had any quotes yet for the B18C?
hmmmm.. I got my h22a halfcut for 3.2k
vely vely cheeff! H22A! hahaha jks
so where bouts r u Geek?
hi all...
i was planning to do the same thing, but in a 92 sedan si using a JDM b18c.
me in perth, dunno where to find half cut for cheap, but the guy can import engine cheap.
if anyone has done this swap, could they msg me. i wanna find out more and see if it is worth it.
thanks
geek is in qld :D....
b18's are generally more expensive if they are taken from the dc2r... it will fit in the eg but you will need some custom work done.
You will need heaps of custom work.
Where are you located? i might have someone that can help you out if you are in sydney.
thanx alot guys! much appreciated... if i tried asking that question on honda-tech i will defintely get flamed :P
i got a quote already for a 98 JDM b18c dc2R half cut with headlight bonnet and everything for $7000
will it b cheaper to get local b18cR?
is the JDM b18cR more power than aus b18cr?
jsut buy a JDM one... so u can say i got JDM mate!!!
the mounts fit, the wiring loom fits, if anything hes gona have a harder time getting PGMFI and converting the swap to obdI. JDM b18c-R is a lot better than the oz counterpart: higher compression, better tranny and if it comes with the headlights you can do a conversion on your egg. Go jdm! the japs always keep the best for themselves :D PM me if you wanna have a chat gl
JDM b18c7
coolies r u planing to do the work ur self or a workshop will do it for u?
b18c7 what engine is that?

wow that would be pretty good in a eg!
