Hello everyone! I'm new to the forums and just thought i'd say "Hey!"
=]
But um, hehe.. any way. On to the subject matter. . .
-My ride:-
1993 4dr Honda Civic
Black Paint Job
and everything but my sound system is stock.. As far as i know.. ^_^
-What I want to do-
Swap my car with a B18C Engine
And hopefully push around 200WHP (maybe more if i feel like losing the MPG)
My questions:
1. I've heard that the B18C engine is a direct swap, and no need for engine mounts or anything like that. But, considering the B18C engine is Vtec, what would i have to do to connect the wires to my ECU?
2. Is it really all that difficult to do a swap like this?
3. When looking on ebay and other engine sites, i was thinking that i should get a set that comes with everything includeing the Tranny. Is this what is should do?
4. When i complete the swap and start looking for a new exaust system, do i look for an exaust system that is for the '93 Civic, or for the Integra which the new engine is coming out of? And what modifications, if any, would i have to do to get the exaust system on?
5. would it be more benificial for me to install a custom tach? or buying a gauge cluster that comes with a tach?
I hope these questions are easy enough to answer with out a whole lot of hassel.
any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
*EDIT* I found this engine on Ebay, and it is advertise as a swap... Does it come with everything i'll need for a complete engine swap?
