Stick to new OEM bushing mounts if you're worried about vibration. When I did my swap, I replaced them with the stiffer bushings. You'll definately 'feel' the motor a LOT more than stock. I've gotten used to it now, so it really depends on what you're after. If you want your car to have that...

I will be picking up a set of 15" Rota Slipstreams, which I will use as my winter rims. I already have a set of winter tires (195/55's), which need to fit these new rims... sooo my question is, what width and offset? I've had people tell me all of these will fit: - 15x6.5 ~ 40mm offset -...

Well it's been a while since I put in the new plugs, and also bumped up the idle speed a touch. Since then it's been running a lot nicer, a lot more smooth, no hesitiation/misfire. I'm beginning to wonder if maybe it was in fact a plug gap problem. I'm going to go check the gaps on the 'old'...

Seafoam seems to be the magic remedy for lots of things, lol. Seems like enough people use the stuff without any issue. I know Honda recommends not using anything, but I'm guessing it's so that you'll bring it to the dealer so they can charge you $100 for the injector flush...

Apparently everything is good, vacuum lines, sensors, etc. Had it at the shop today to have them take a look. They didn't find anything, and as far as they can see, everything is fine... still didn't stop me from replacing the plugs with better ones. Did I need to? Probably not, but it...

Hey guys, It's been a few weeks since I swapped a JDM B18b1 LS motor into my EK. For the most part, it's been running well, no major issues, and it's been a good daily driver thus far... with one minor complaint. Every once in a while, usually while I'm sitting at a light after being on the...

I think he's hoping on having his Uncle do it for him... and if he can weld (which you said he can) it should be no problem. The only thing is, it will probably take your Uncle a bit longer to install than a muffler shop, but if you trust your Uncle's work, then let him have at it. I also...

I'm always leery about these sorts of claims. but just wanted to see if anyone on the site has actually used them on their Honda. I've always been a die hard NGK laser platinum plug fan, but thought about opening my mind a bit to other products. It's not like I'm gonna run right out and buy...

I did a search, but couldn't find any threads regarding these types of spark plugs: How a Pulse Plug works differently than a Spark Plug Me, and a couple of co-workers were talking about them at work, and were wondering if they're worth it? We didn't know anyone personally that has shelled...

I just did a similar swap, and at the beginning, I too was set on the B18c1. But after talking about it with my shop, the pro's/cons, etc, I decided to go with an LS B18b motor. The money I saved getting that motor, I was able to get a lightened flywheel, really good clutch, a good header...

^ Thanks for the tip :) However, I'm not too worried, since I'm having a shop do it. I would love to be able to do it myself, but living in an appt, with no space to do it... not to mention my lack of decent tools doesn't help matters either. Plus, this is my daily driver, so I need it...

lol, I know ;) I was thinking more down the road

This thread has been a wealth of info, and I thank you for it! I'm about to do a very similar swap, only I'll be ditching my D16y8. Although I'll be having a shop do the actual swap for me, I've been able to ask a lot of very specific questions to make sure it goes right. Keep us updated on...

Yeah... I was thinking throttle body and possibly intake manifold.... but aren't those fairly pricey? I've heard mixed opinions on whether it was worth the money when compared to the hp gains you get... Any brands you guys would recommend for cams/TB/IM? Keep in mind I'm not made of money! lol...

Do you guys think it would be worth it to upgrade the cams? Obviously nothing crazy, but I'm not sure if spending that kind of money is worth it for a mild cam upgrade...

I am in the process of swapping an LS B18b into my EK, and wouldn't mind your suggestions. Keep in mind it's my daily driver, and it will stay N/A. Before I stuff the LS motor into my car, what other performance parts would you guys recommend while I have easy access to the motor/tranny? At...
