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,
LowEk

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.
LowEk
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).
so true. knowing about spare parts doesnt necessarily mean knowing about putting them together. one certain honda spare parts place tried to tell me a D15 box would match up a ZC :thumbdwn: . i think type one may have been jking slightly by his remark so take it with a grain of salt.
also, working at a dealership etc.. doesnt instantly give a bounty of wisdom on such topics over others. respect the fact that there are a lot of ppl on here who seriously know their stuff without working for car manufacturers.
but anyway, it is pretty much a straight swap. hasport do the mounts but you prob dont need them if you getting a half cut as i'm fairly sure (some one clarify?) that the factory mounts will fit, since your b18 will have to come from a DC2 which share the same basic chassis as ek's. either way it's really no diff to a b16 going in and there are plenty of them done
I used to own an EK with a B18C in it. My friend put the exact same motor into an EG. It is as straight forward a swap as they come. You can use OEM mounts.
hehe...yer..i just did. :oQuote:

thanks speedracr that is what i was looking for. the only reason i went off was wot remark do u expect for a smart ass question that type one asked. how did your ek go with the B18 speedracr??? any mods i want to set my car up for street/track thats y i want to start with the B18.

Sorry to highjack, but if you have a D16 moving to a B18 on an EK i think you will need a different rear motor mount and possibly one side mount, i can't remember if it was left or right, then you will need a new front or rear transmission mount also.
b18 in an ek, u need EK b series mounts
so MRJDM if i get Ek VTIR B16a mounts will that be what i need ??? thats what i need to know sikcivic i get some people say its bolts straight in and others say i need to change mounts. ive done a conversion before on a previous car and people said it bolds straight in so i did the conversion but ran into a few probs where it did not bolt straight in its the small things they did not tell me about which made it a pain in the ass it sounds about right to get the EK b mounts thanks MRJDM.
LowEk
no no no i think you are misinterpreting what I said... what I meant was that you can use OEM mounts - you don't have to have custom/aftermarket mounts, which would be the case if you wanted to fit an H22A or K20A.
You will need b-series mounts.
lowEK- no prob u got any other questions just ask. ive got a b18 in my ek
Hey, slightly off topic but reading these gave me a question to ask. I've got a 95 EG and obviously not satisfied with the 74kw or whatever it is. I want to put in H22a and perhaps turbo eventually... but the weight factor was mentioned above, so i'm not sure. How much roughly would it cost to get a conversion to a H22a? or even the B18 like lowEK is asking?
Thanks in advance
are you still doing the k20a ek????Quote:
