b18c5 - Questions

Hello all
i am new to this forem and i would like to ask you all a few questions about an engine i just purchased (which needs some work)

i have just purchased a B18c5 Twin Cam from an integra, it does however have destroyed cylinder walls, also it does not have a gear box or an ECU.

I was looking to build this in the near future and eventually drop it into my EG civic sedan.

I currently have a microtec LT8 management unit so will i be able to use this computer with the b18c and disregard the b18c ecu.

also what is an aproximate price for getting the engine resleeved
Also do all B series Gear Boxs match up to each other or do i have to get a b18c5 box to fit a b18c5 engine

Please help me out guys any answers you could give me would be great

any b-series box will match up.

Was this engine imported from America?

If its a C5, it'd have to be, wouldnt it? Europe got C6, JDM is B18C-R.

start saving for some new sleeves if you want to reuse that thing... expect $1200 for Darton MID sleeves plus another 1K to get them fitted... I hope you picked it up cheap!

is $1000 cheap?

$1000 for a b18c5 ? :confused:

EDIT:
sorry, just noticed it was damaged and no ECU/gearbox

ecu arent that expensive. the only thing that would be a worry is getting a box. u can prolly use the box from a b18b integra gsi. i know u cant use the b20a (prelude with the pop up lights) box. flipmods told me that

The B20 was never in a prelude to my knowledge. It was in the first gen CR-V. The Prelude 2.0i had the F20 non-vtec engine, and the 2.2 had the H22Ax engine.

1000 for a grenaded C5. exxy

have a look

the 88-92 BA Prelude's (3rd Gen) came with a DOHC B20A Motor which is totally different to the B20B engine found on the CRV's i.e nothings really interchangable b/w the two motors

The 4th gen Preludes came with the F and H series engines....

did it come with the cylinder head?
I'd be more worried about the condition of the pistons and the valves you sure the engine didnt suffer cylinder wall damage due to dropping a valve after a high rpm launch or a mis shift... its pretty much a scrap heap if it is...

Drop the engine oil and see if you got any metal shavings...

why in the world did you buy it?
