Had a B18C/R swap in a 98 civic coupe, motors dead. I'd like to purchase a gsr, salvage my intake manifold and cams from the ITR, and bolt it on to what i have now. One problem I noticed was the ITR uses a p73 while the gsr uses the p72, will my current computer run the gsr? Any help will be...

When I say 250hp I mean at the flywheel, it's probably an unrealistic goal because I don't have another 6 grand to throw into this project but i'm going to try to get as close as possible on my budget... btw delivering pizza pwns real jobs :wink:

Ty B, now does anyone have an opinion of what cams, valves and springs to go with for a good n/a setup with this motor? EDIT> Would Skunk2 Stage 2 cams be a good choice with approx. 11.4~11.5/1 compression? or should I just go with Stage 1's?

Hello, I origionally posted in the swap forum but realized the thread probably belongs here. Names Rich and I drive a 98 civic coupe with the ITR swap. Thing needs a head gasket and while I'm getting that done I'd like to get cams, valves & springs, and if possible a header. My budget is...

bump* My budget is between 2-3k preferably 2k. I'm looking for some specific parts if anyone can give me a hand. I need a headgasket that's tough but thinner then stock (thinner the better really), want cams, want a header though that can wait if it has too, and i want to do the valves and...

good to know for the future then, thanks EDIT-> Just realized this probably belongs in the engine building forum... would a mod mind moving this for me? i'd probably get more answers there as well

I think this motor was port and polished from the factory so as much as i would like to i'm not sure I can get that done... thanks for the input man

Hey guys, I've got a 96-97 b18c/R in my 98 civic coupe daily driver and am going to have a new headgasket installed in the next couple weeks. I've got a few questions to ask first. 1) Will I be able to up the compression which is currently 11/1 by getting a thinner gasket? If so, how much...

I'm doing a b18c swap in my 98 civic and refuse to let my intake destroy it like it did my last engine. Does anyone know some places I can shop for a Cold Air Intake Water Bypass Valve or Bladder or whatever? I can't seem to find one.

I live in the Lehigh Valley near allentown, PA... thanks for the help, i'm ordering the engine tomorrow. I'll follow up if anything comes up but hopefully it goes without to much trouble

everyone's been pretty helpful thanks for the input. Now i'm pretty much stuck on the type R, i'm just wondering if I should go with the 98+ spec or the 96-97 which is 450 less... any ideas guys? EDIT>> I read on HMO's site that their engines are intended for racing use and not street use...

Thanks for the input guys, i'm going with the B18... Remaining questions are is this a complete swap?... http://www.hmotorsonline.com/shop/sc2000se...page&item=30010 ... if not what else would I need? Is hmotorsonline trustable? it'd be especially helpful if someone on here has actually delt...

Hey guys first post here so let me start by saying hello. Basically my problem is my cold air intake just sucked up a gallon or so of water and the engine's seized. I've been having tranny problems recently and have been considering just getting a full swap to solve tranny issues and get...
