anyone tried too see if their premium/excess goes up (under 25) if you engine swap under same/different displacement?
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

Yeah, it does Steve when I checked with NRMA, it increased it.Quote:

excess didn't go up much but the premium went up pretty scary... 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.
good thing is that car is in my parents name, me being nominated driver so i shouldn't get smacked too hard. i kinda figured they'd not realise B16 is performance engine :(

Enjoy
Thanks
Was thinking of getting a B18 but not sure which one to get,as people mention about B18C or B18C2...etc. Any suggestion for Civic Sedan GL?
Or B16? So some search already, but everyone got differ support on it, and i dont really have idea about it,sorry, i'm a noob.
Thanks
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.Quote:

B serise motors are getting rarer and rarer now..
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?
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.
i have a EG8 VEi............lol i didnt even know it was EG8 till i did my service today, previously thought it was a EG4 :o
lol learn something new everyday
LOL, its not a performance engine.Quote:

Thanks
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.
Thanks!! Well, in that case my car is EFI 1.5L EG4. According to the plate near the Radiator.Quote:

just wanted no if b16b gearbox fit in a b16a thanks
b16b gearbox will fit a b16a
just remember Bserise G box will fit any B serise engine
EG4 is a GLi as well and also a GL for the carby versionQuote:

do any of the b-series gearboxs come with lsds?
thx
the CTR and ITR gearboxes come with LSD and some fo the B16a gearbox have LSD
i have a twin carby motor in my eg, do i have to change fuel lines and install a fuel pump if i do a conversion?
yes and yes
thxz very useful
HI sorry if this is a reacurring question but if i was to put an eg6 conversion into my EG5 would it have to be engineered in NSW?
no it wont have to be
just change the engine numbers as i told u b4
hey can anyone help me im about to drop a b18 in my eg i was looking to drop a b18c7 also know (b18cR ) but i can only come across a b18c vitr (jap spec ) is there a big diff should i just get the b18c vti r or should i wait and fine a b18c7 type r ?
wait for a b18cR
dude do a search and then you'll find big differences between the b18cr and b18c
it does cost quite abit for a k24 conversion dude.. :oQuote:

hey danny, apart from the ek9 front cut, what else would i need, to do a b16b conversion into my eg?
wat EG do u have
If u have a carby fuel lines etc
halfcut should have everything anywayz
oh and OBD2 to OBD1 conversion harness too
Should you buy a new or second hand half cut? Does it really matter if your getting the correct price?
^^^ you wont find a 'new' half cut. a half cut is normally a car that got crashed into at the back and written off,but the engine bay is still good.
halfcuts are used cars,that are no longer being used,so they get chopped in half and we take the engine
Guys can u suggest anyone in Sydney that will do the conversion for a good price? Or anyone that can do it at all??
I know of a couple places already... maybe u guys have others in mind that I know of.
thanks,
Danny can do it.
he told me he'd do it for a beer.
fair deal i reckon.
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?
ok looking at a B16a for my wifes EG (Gli/EFI) the question i have is will the engine bolt up to the auto gear box?

Just wondering i want to do a B18CR conversion right...

Would i really need a half cut?
Will it fit oke?
And where abouts in Australia can i buy one?
=)
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
Noob question, how much typically for AUDM B18CR conversion drive in drive out?
JDM B18CR is roughly around the $8k mark. Is AUDM $6k or still closer to the $7k?
Has any one done a K20 conversion or have break down list of whats need?

Errr, Out of curiosity, whys an engineers cert cost 2k?
I think its normally somethin like 700-800 bucks, but factor into the equation that there's the chance you will have to fix up other stuff you were unaware of when you put it through inspection and itll bump up.
Thanks Dan, I hope you're right... 2k Seems way too unreasonable :(
Slap whoever quoted you that!Quote:

So the price of engineers cert. is different compared to how heavily modified your car is?
Lets say we had a EK with a K20 in it with coil over, asr sub frame, struts, ctr swaybars and some aftermarket LCAs... Stock K20 though .. ?
Wouldn't be as much as $800 right?
engineers cert dose not need any OS support its just time..Quote:

Parts yeah for sure
$800 is normal and I doubt you'll get much lowerQuote:

aftermarket lca / asr brace is a grey area once it comes to engineer cert.
Thanx trism, it sure does look like an expensive project.
I think B18 seems to be the way to go at the moment
Ummm dude no offenceQuote:

So that would be Engineering,Rego,Road Worth Certificate and similar things to get the car legal to be on the road
Now that is more appropriateQuote:

Umm why not go a H22a if your looking at puting a stock K20a in? half the price and just as good (In my opinion)
H22A is another option but doesn't look like there are many after market performance parts available for it compared to the B18
thats the decider for most peopleQuote:

no, fastest N/A civic runs a k24 iirc
Just get I/H/E for it thats all you preety much need, and itll leave any other B18 with cams etc for dead... Displacement is best, especially for the streetQuote:

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
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
hey guys noob question here, what is obd1 and obd2?
different generations of ECU, the higher the OBD# the better ( and more universal ) diagnostics and emmesion control ect
