Honda Civic B18C type r conversion

[dc2itr]

Thinking about droppin a B18C Integra Type R engine into a Honda Civic, EK or EG.

Trajedy struck a couple of weeks back when some fool crashed into my integra . There is now one less Type R on the road guys. Luckily the front half (the vauable half) is fine and the idiots at the insurance company had no idea what the engine was worth. Deciding to sell it back to me for a measly 1K. Slightly offended, I accepted their offer. So.....

Wanna know what you think? EG or EK? Leaning towards EG at the moment because of the diff in price!

I am planning to transplant almost all the dc2r goodies, including diff, gearbox, drive train etc.

Any advice? Rough costs, things to look out for, ideas?

Sorry to hear about the car man...

personally i'd go with the EG, I've always preferred the shape of EG downsides are the older looking interior and that's about it as far as I can see.

yeh go for the eg...

more of a sleeper..

speak to samo on these forums, or even ecu-man

they have both done b18c conversions

in terms of costs - wateva u cant use from that half cut u will have to buy

how are the driveshafts?

also do u know the condition of the engine in terms of services?

small costs like seals and fluids u might want to change which all add up.

good luck with the swap - take heaps of pictures so we can all see

dude of course he knows the condition of his engine..

oh btw EG mate EG all the way

EG is more sex then EK so EG

There’s no comparison!!!!!!!!!!

The EG it without a doubt the sexist Civic ever made straight off the showroom floor
Sexy curves and bends, interior’s lacking a bit but you can’t have everything

The EK is the complete opposite, one of the most boring Civics ever made IMO
Lost all its Sexy curves

Just my opinion

On second thoughts, get an EG for sure!

I'd say EK, newer and better chassis, not much of a weight difference and I prefer ek's shape...
