Howdy guys,
For all you guys who care, I'm gonna write up a swap guide for the B18B1 into a EG civic while I'm doing the swap. If you would be interested in such a thing tell me...I'm still contimplating doing it, but if there is a demand for it I will. <---I might do it...Lets see how time goes between school and work.
I am in the last stages of finalizing my B18B1 swap into my civic. My previous engine had been popped by a over zelious nitrous shot from the previous owner. The bastard popped the piston rings on 1 cylinder and took half the compression out of another. After going thru a whole box of oil a month I finally saved enough to do a proper swap. This is where you guys come in...Check out this list and tell me what you think. I am attempting to stay under 3 grand for the entire project.
What I got and for how much:
B18B1, ECU, Mounts, and harness: $881.88
I got this from a auto salvage yard with only 69k miles on it. It came out of a 95 LS with an Automatic tranny. I had them pull the engine only because who the hell wants an automatic :sleep: . What I was thinking is the chances of abuse where a lot less getting the engine pulled from an automatic rather than a manual.
LS Tranny/ Its a manual of course : <-- $600
I have no idea how much my buddy wants to sell it to me for but its in good condition except it has a missing mount and no shift linkage...But what the hell...
ACT Heavy duty pressure plate, Street clutch/ ACT's HDSS clutch kit: $405
This one is still up in the air. It depends on availability. If you guys have any ideas or suggestions of good clutches tell me about it.
AEM Short Ram intake: $70
Got it from a dude on ebay. What the hell, my engine didn't include an intake so I might as well get an AEM to make it breath better.
5Zigen Fireball Cat-back system: $200
My friend used to own a 94 civic coupe so he had some parts laying around. When I saw this bad boy I checked for rusting and all that was wrong with this exhaust was it was dirty with 3 scratchs on it...It's like practically stealing from him but he doesn't need it. B)
Arospeed Ceramic 4-2-1 Header: 150 off partstrader
B16A Flywheel: $30 <--The damn 8 pound one I got was warped and wobbled off the resurface machine...Not a good sign.
...I think there are some other things on the way I just can't remember right now. Yea....Well what do you think so far? Give me some feedback and be MEAN. I want all your cruel feedback so that I can modify my plans or rethink some items. Be cruel and unusual, PLEASE!!!!
