well, the 89 lude had the B20A5 right? I guess, seeing as it is a b series, it might go in wihtout too much trouble.

yeaH thats the engine thats in it and it has now wear on it for all for having 115k miles on it..and im not really swapping it to be the fastest thing out there..im just wondering if it is possible and if it has been done before what to expect....and im not worried about wasting my time that much.

ok never mind ..screw putting the old lude engine in the civic..im just gonna keep the lude how it is and use it as a play car..but what about putting a newer lude engine in it... like a H22 or H22A....wouldent my car being a sedan with more weight in the back even the distribution out better then a coup or HB model?

I've come across the opportuninty to buy a crx or a hatchback civic. I'd rather have the crx seeing how they are bad-ass by themselves. My question is if i get the crx should i try and swap the motor with a B16 or the B18 Integra LS motor? I have the resources to get either engine, but i want an all out racer, but something easy to install also. Everything will be added to either engine: intake, turbo, exhaust,etc.... I just want the one that will give the most power while saving some weight. Any help at all will help: links, pics, personal expierences,etc.. Please help.

Anyone put a b18c1 into a 6 gen before? I found one from a guy locally for 2500 which has everything i need.

syk_pal_jgomez · 11-13-2003, 08:45 PM

would i have to due any major modifications if i did swap of a b18c5 into a 1995 civic ex. what do i have to worry if i did such a swap. would i loose my ac? do you also know were to find a b18c5 for a good price.

You can keep your AC and it is as easy as plugging it in, if you can get a USDM one with the wiring harness. There are five wires to change, but other than that it plugs right up.

That's alot of damn info. But it helps alot. Would anyone happen to know the R/S ratio on a gsr I'm planning a motor swap and was damn near convinced on a turbocharged, 55-shot LS/Vtec. Untill I read a really bad(good) forum. Theres alot of shit that goes wrong with the frakenstein motor. Should I shoot for the Gsr, turbo and nitrous or what

You seem to know what you are talking about. I was hoping maybe you could help me. I just swapped my daughters engine D15B7 for a JDM SPEC D15B and i cant get the thing to run right. the JDm motor was a dual carb motor, so i swapped out the intakes and the distributor, but it wont run right i can get it cranked and drive it, but it lacks power and backfires. The timing wont advance or retard when i move the distributor. Any Idea what i did wrong if anything? Please help? Thanks, Paul

Static time it at the cam gear and pulley. It is probably just a little off, also it could have something to do with the fuel system, since the D15B7 being fuel injected,and the motor you put in being carbed. What else did you do?
