B16A to B18C

[NA-tastic]

Hey guys
after driving my boys for a night out in town in my EG5, i realised how
sluggish the b16a is with a full load of passengers.

so my question is how hard is the conversion to a b18 when my car is already running a b16.

Is it just swap over the bare engine and use my b16 harness or is there more to it..

many help appriciated.

x3 its also cheaper to do rather then a b18c... you get extra torque and a 2L displacement rather then a 1.8

it is a straight swap using all your b16a parts

it is very easy to do
all you need is a complete b18c

b20 would be another level as to been cheaper thats a grey area

depending who you know ,how much you pay etc

yep as the guys above, might need to extend a wire or two to account for sensors in different positions compared to the b16
be warned though, my b18 is sluggish with a full load too(start to notice it after having more than one passenger)
honda's are just slow

oh ive driven an b18c with a full load, im satisfied with what is puts out compared to the b16a

fair enough, guess it just comes down to weight
my mates were big tall aussies 100+kg each, no idea how they fit on the front seat let alone the rear hehe

i think he is on a budget

b18c can be had for 800-1k
