Hey just wondering if anyone knows if this is possable and what would have to be modifyed for it to fit i know they bolt into the eg i want the b18 cos i dont want the front end weight of a H22a but more power than the b16.
Thanks,

straightforward swap
you can use a B18 crank and rods that might be a cheaper alternative be the same as a B18C
my local Hondarec said it was not a straight foward swap and if it is why cant u get mounts from hasport.com getting a b18 crank and rods wont be worth changing i may as well do a b16 and get better rods and pistons i see it as not worth it i just want a b18 straight up if anyone else out there knows anything on this swap i want to know.

hasport mounts cost $$$ dont they?
anywho, good luck wit teh conversion
yer they cost heaps but my point was is that they dont list them for a b18 hence prolly dont bolt straight in maybe i dont know really.

it's 'bolt in'
im pretty sure it's a straight swap, as EKs - the VTi-R ones - are B16s, so...u would think the B18s would be easy to fit, true?
besides, i think speedracr has done it before, hence it's safe to say he knows his stuff. :)
but hang on...in ur title u say EK, but in ur post, u say EG...which is it? u want the b18 in ur EG or EK?
you can't get mounts from hasport cos they use the same mounts... u sure you went to a honda wrecker and not a toyota wrecker?
alternatively were they trying to sell you another idea?

Type One yes my local HONDAREC thats wot its called its not called HONDAREC and rec TOYOTA PARTS do they??? i work at TOYOTA so i think i know wot im talking about maybe a bit more so than u ok that make 2 people that have said straight bolt in so it must but if anyone has done it i would like to know what is involved in the conversion.

Mate settle down a bit. You just joined here and are goin a bit crazy! Chill :) I been to Hondarec a few times, good for parts n stuff but I am not too sure about their knowledge of engine conversions and atuff (not saying they are bad, just saying I do not know).
