B18 (teg Vtir) into Ek

[LowEk]

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

[dr180]

you can use a B18 crank and rods that might be a cheaper alternative be the same as a B18C

[LowEk]

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

[LowEk]

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?

[type one]

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?

Dude read his post properly, he said he KNOWS it bolts into a EG He probably wants to know if its the same with a EK.

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).
