Which Motor? etc.

Ok, we got a problem. My dad rang up and had a tyalk to a guy at the Honda Wrecking shop and he has alot of experience in this field he said.
He said that the engine we are talking about may require some serious cutting etc. of the engine bay or someting like that for the engine to fit???
He also said that my better option would be to put and engine like the 1.6L Injected engine in and then turbo it... But this just opens up more problems and more money.

WTF? What sort of 'experience' does this bloke have?

If you are planning on dropping a B16A (1.6L) into the EG you should have NO problems at all. It's a simple direct drop in. bengbear on this forum has a hybrid setup and he didn't have to chop anything, the engine mounts were even perfect from memory.

This guy is having you on IMO.

Hmm. Are you compltely sure about which model car I have and that it will fit, as some might be slightly different to tohers.
Did bengbear have a GL civic???

bengbear has an EG Civic, which is what you have right???

It doesn't matter if it is a GL, GLi or VTi, the engine bay is the same size. Don't let some guy fool you into chopping up your engine bay and wasting money on a different engine when a B16A will drop into your EG without any issues.

Yeh he is starting to sound like he's full of $hit. But is their much size difference etc. between the B16A/2 B16A/1 and B16A??

This is some funny stuff.

You could chop, coz its weight reduction. hehehe

I have a EG GLi civic. My b16a2 droppped straight in USING THE CORRECT PARTS. Only took half a day to get the old d15 out and b16a2 in. There is no need for any custom mounts bulls(&t, or cutting away, etc. Just get the correct parts, and its easy as cake.

You say you have a GL civic.....do you know you have to convert it to EFI? Which means you got alot more work than just dropping in an engine.

go somewhere else!!!

the guy has no idea.....where did u go? have u tried chapman & chapman...?

the B16A2 will fit into your EG, you just need rear-engine mounts!

go somewhere else, the guy is unprofessional and is giving you misleading info!

Lol, and I was actually listening to what he is saying...
What is involved in converting it to EFI??? And "USING THE CORRECT PARTS"??
Does that mean that when I buy the engine to make sure it comes with everything I need?

Chapman & Chapman, is that in Brisbane? And rear engine mounts, do these need to be custom made? Or will they come with the front cut?
Because I keep on getting different answers from different people...

Use the 'search' function

Thnx for the site. I'll make a post and see how I go as I couldn't find much by doing a search.

i also heard this from someone else that has done the conversion, that sum chopping of the engine bay was required. I think the chopping has to do with the carbie setup..but im not sure. But using intuition, why would honda change a chassis just for australia? it doesnt make sense, therefore id have to say that these guys dont know what they are talking about.

Hmmm, interestiong. Thnx for that pornstar.

No chopping needed - end of story. An EG is an EG - unlike the EF/ED series.

Thnx Santana, I was looking for straight simple answer, that I could understand :):)

Okai, I realise this thread is getting a bit old. But I need confirmation on which engine exactly to ask for.

I did some searching and found this http://www.hondaswap.com/reference/i...hp?mode=engine

Can someojne please tell me which one to get out of the B16A range from that list. Then I can take it from their to the shop and hop on the waiting list.
Thnx.

Get an EG6 front cut :)

:D Could you show me which one that would be, on that site??? :wink: :?:

Sheesh :?

:P

Sorry bout that. I forgot to post and say I found which one it was frokm another site.
I just wanted to be completely sure it was the right engine.
Thnx.

No worries mate :) As long as the 'cut has EG6 on the firewall and a B16A in the bay, all should be good :)

hey man....read over the posts in this thread again as all the info has been given already! :wink:
