B18C in an EK1

**barefootbonzai** · 30-05-2005 12:05 PM

Not sure if i'm posting in the correct section. Anyways, for anyone with experience and has done it before, do you need to buy custom engine mounts to place a B18C into an EK1 (cxi) hatch? Or should it be fine using the stock engine mounts. Should it be straight forward enough for a home job? Any help is welcomed, but please, if you don't know, don't post up guesses.

hey duy man, i think u'll need new engine mounts cos the original ones dont have enough support/strength for the amount of moment the b18 makes when it revs...

you will need new/custom engine mounts to fit the B18C in an ek1 as the d series mounts are not compatible with the b series engines
in retrospect if ur fitting a b18c into an ek4 its a direct swap with no engine mount change required

you will need new mounts, either custom b series mounts, or ek4 mounts..

so would that mean a B18C7 from a type R would fit in my EK4 nicely??

just use standard EK4/EM mounts. i think you only need the rear mount anyway.

custom mounts = big $$$

yes. Civic Type R has done this conversion.

Sweet as guys, so i just need to get me some EK4 mounts and i'm up and ready for my next project. Finally the world doesn't look like it's gonna end after losing my turbo EM1
