Hey everyone.
I'm new to this forum but not new to Honda. I have a '93 del Sol Si that had a built NA d16z6 making 158whp (Mustang Dyno). It also has a built short-ratio 5-speed with a Quaife LSD and Synchrotech carbon synchro rebuild kit. It's essentially my weekend track car (open lapping, time attack, etc.). Unfortunately an exhaust valve snapped at the neck and has completely destroyed the head and block. Some parts are salvageable and I could try building up a d15b (3-stage VTEC) I have sitting in the garage, but I think it may be time for a swap.
As much fun as it was to build this motor to perform in a way that it was never meant to, I want similar or better NA performance but with factory Honda durability and reliability. That's why I'm leaning toward a b18c Type-R.
I will do my best to research this swap with the limited amount of spare time I have (que the violins) but I would GREATLY appreciate any assistance that's sent my way.
I would like to know what I need to complete this swap. I imagine it's no different that an EG swap.
What other than the motor and transmission do I need? What mounts can I keep (I have 75A poly mounts)? What parts are necessary?
I'm looking to build a comprehensive list so that I can get everything in one shot.
Thank you!!
