ok I have a few questions concerning the B18C1 swap I am planning on doing.

1. this is the engine I plan on getting.

2. I have a 97 Honda Civic EX 4DR. It's the Canadian version, meaning no VTEC.

3. with the above engine and all the parts that are included, what else will I need. I am mainly concerned with the electronics. I don't know how to hook up the GSR intake to the ECU, nor do I know how to wire up the VTEC to my existing setup. it's not the physical aspect of doing it, thats no problem, I just need a diagram or something to help me.

so basically I need to know what exactly has to be done, and if I need a OBDII --> OBDI jumper harness, and anything else that I may have forgotten.

and one final question, I am going to bolt a turbo on the GSR engine, does anyone know the best turbo to use? there are so many that I can't decide, and price is a factor, I can spend 3-4 thousand (USD) on the turbo, but not too much higher than that.

thanks guys for all your help.

take www.hondaswap.com and www.hybridgarage.com and call me in the morning.

That's a JDM B18C SiR-G not a B18C1 btw.

 

whats the difference?

thanks

 

You can look here and see: http://www.bseries.net/html/specs/benginespecs.php

 

go to [osakajdmmotors.com] the engines are cheaper there

 

In my personal experience, they're motors are not very trustworthy. I worked on an Osaka D15B that had rusted valves and wouldn't hold compression. Not good....

 

I went to look at osakajdmmotors.com, and I liked the idea that they are in canada, as I am too, and the shipping would be less. and yes the engines are cheaper, but they don't come with nearly as many of the parts I will need for the swap that the engine here does:

so if I don't go with hmotorsonline, and opt with Osaka, the I would just be using the money I saved, to buy all the other parts I would need anyway. but thatks for the help

If you live in Canada, go visit Osaka and pick out a motor yourself. That way you don't have to worry about any nasty surprises that might arrive in the mail.

 

but as I just posted, it doesn't come with even close to as many parts that I need, whereas the one from Hmotorsonline comes with everything. so it would almost be cheaper to have it shipped, and to pay the us dollar for it

 

relecom, is your civic also a manual? Right now im thinking about swapping the same engine from HMO into my 4door 99 civic hehehe. No one ever suspects the 4 door.
