alright so my friend has a b18c1 with the trany together and hes gona sell it to me for 200 bucks and its from a 99 GSR and i know that its OBD2 and i wanna put it into my 95 si hatch and i wanted to know how hard or if its even worth to put it in because of the conversion of OBD2 to OBD1? or could i buy a harness and a New ECU?
 
$200? It's either broken or stolen. Or your friend is being far to nice to you. But if you are in fact getting an awesome deal, it's totally worth it. You'll need a GSR ecu and a conversion harness. I may be missing something because I'm tired and can't think, but I think that's it.
 
well hes selling it for 450 bucks but no ones buying it and he needs it gone and idk if i want it to go thro the hassle
 
oh and were could i find a converstion harness or do i have to make one?
 
Plenty of places to buy them. That swap is extremely common. And its not really a hassle. As far as engine swaps go, it's pretty much as plug and play as you can get.
 
That is easily $2000 worth of engine/transmission if there is nothing wrong with it. Hell, the head alone is worth 600+
 
A B18C motor and tranny goes for more than $200. *IF* this is legit, buy it, sell it for a huge profit, and then buy one that you know is in good condition. Chances are this motor is bunk--especially if you plan to rebuild it before even handing him money.

Check the engine stamp, too. Make sure it says B18C1 before you shell over anything.
 
yeah well i was wondering because it was supposed to be pulled out of a running 99 gsr that got in a rear end collision. and if im gona boost it i dont want miles on it anyways so thats why i was gona rebuild it anyways
