B18c2 is a good swop
u cant use your clutch and flywheel cuz D serise stuff doesnt fot with B serise engine.
you can keep your brakes though it'll be a good idea to swop as the Vti brakes where designed for the Vti engine and wont stop as well with the extra 20-30 kw you will be getting.
As for the bonnet i had no troubles in my swops so i dont see why you would have any problems

yeap danny sum it up nicely. Brakes won't needed to be upgraded. Bonnet will close as like a stock one would.

Can't use D clutch or flywheel.

B16a Engine cnversion (DOHC VTEC )

though since the australian RTA rules stats that putting an engine that is old than the chassis is illegal. (ie puting a 92 model B16a into a 94 model GLi is illegal)

Just wondering, so it's illegal to put B16 from ek4,9 or k20 or k24?
How do i register the car then?

no it is illegal if the engine is older than the car..
the engine must be newer than the car.
so u cant put a 1990 made b16a into a 1992 made EG civic

if i drop a b16 in my EK1 (lets say its from a EK4 so we got no legislation problems).

will my comprehensive insurance go up?
whats the requirements for registration aside from engineering the engien

[bennjamin]

quote to the insurance company that it is a replacement engine for its capacity , i dont believe it will warrant an insurance hike.
All you need to do is make sure the engine is same age or newer than your chassis , and just take the car to a registered mechanic that can write up a blueslip for "adjustment of records".
He will send the new engine number into the RTA and you are all good.

and i have to do the re-engineering before taking it to the mechanic?

Not unless its more than 15% in power to your other motor
