Ive got whiteline front and rear made for the da9
24mm front and 19mm rear, i believe
im yet to fully test it on a track, but pretty awesome setup
people said if you upgrade front u get more understeer, im getting less so idk haha
whiteline dont make the da9 ones anymore. so you gotta find them used.
otherwise theres a kit from the states.

rears are pretty interchangeable with bit of modding, but front is diff.

anyone done a b18c2 swap? just wanna ask about the ECU and tranny. from what i know,

1) pr3 obd0 vtec ecu's would work however cant i use my obd2 ecu???

2) cable tranny? what do i need to convert into hydraulic?

3) intake manifold, change or retain ?

best sway bar setup : Ultra Racing

pm me if ur intrested

as for b18c2 swap, Cable tranny to hydraulic tranny is very do-able there are ready conversion kits all over the net.
Intake manifold should be the same from memory
dno bout ECU.

2) cable tranny? what do i need to convert into hydraulic?You can either go for a full hydraulic conversion with a bracket that sits on the pedal frame itself and then get a master and slave cylinder or a bracket that mounts to the gearbox or near it and actuates the clutch via cable to a master cylinder, I think the first is the best option, google hush22

3) intake manifold, change or retain ?

Change if you want to more power=more money. Edelbrock is generally considered pretty good on the C2 but go for I/H/E first and if you ar changing the intake mani you really should get a tuable ECU as well

1)if i run p72 obd1 from a 94-95 teg with a conversion harness, would the stock intake manifold work perfectly??

2) what cable should I use for the tranny?

3)will i need to get the distributor for the obd1 p72 ecu or just use mine??

ANYMORE ISSUES REGARDING THE SWAP?

? Now I am confused....

If you want to put a B18C2 in your car it runs a OBD1 or 2 ECU. You use the harness for that motor which plugs straight in to the distributor, injectors, alternator etc. And swap the ECU harness as well Basically you don't use anything from the B18A. The P72 ECU will run the stock P72 dual intake manifold perfectly.

If you are using a cable to hydraulic adaptor for the gearbox, the standard cable works. You will need an aftermarket mount from hasport or whatever to accommodate the different gearbox.

Get the P72 power steering pump as the pulleys are different and you will need to swap in the new PS lines.

Throttle cable will need to be swapped.

That's all I can think of right now off the top of my head.

Ok just read your thread in the tech forum.

You can use an OBD1 ECU on a OBD2 motor with a conversion harness.

Just a heads up for those that dont know and happen to dislike the old DA key you can buy and use the DC2 Integra key and have it cut for our DA's

I got mine years ago but from memory was only about $30 and looks much more stylish than this

And the later DC2 key

I know its useless but for fussy types it might be worth it
