Well, guys, I finally am going b series. I got an awesome deal on a 93-94 b18a1 with tranny, ecu, mounts, axles, shift linkage, radiator and wiring harness for $250. I've been slowly getting it put together and shes going to be going in my car hopefully tomorrow and sunday.

ARP Headstuds
AEM Cam Gears (came with the motor)
ACT Street Lite Flywheel 12.5lbs
Rywire OBD0 to OBD1 Wiring harness adaptor
Innovative Mounts 88-91 Civic A/C Adaptor Plate (not installed yet)

Here are some pics of the motor as it sits tonight:

Nice Job on painting it. Make sure to get more pictures up with the install.

Here are some updated pictures from today. I got the wiring harness done for obd1. Had to splice the two harnesses together practically. Everything is mounted up and ready to be lifted into the car tomorrow.

def a nice job painting, not my fave color, but it's still neat and clean.

I'm seriously going to paint everything under the hood that's metal "stove black" on my next engine. that's if I don't take the castings in for black nitride dip... then paint whatever I don't get dipped.

I pretty much just wanna keep everything dark and unnoticed as much as I can... make it harder for ppl to identify parts and such... other than that, I don't like shiny stuff. lol.

Looking good, keep up the work.

I can buy B-series around here for 3-500 usually, just have to find the right ppl... some die-hard USDM fans out here that only drive Acura's... they're gold mines for upgrades for our cars.

Ya, I got the motor, tranny, mounts, shift linkage, axles, ecu, wiring harness, radiator and aem cam gears for $200.

I got the motor in today - she's almost ready to fire up. Here are the pics

Thats wicked man. When you go to start her up. Make a video of it starting for the first time.

4G4D Store · 05-26-2008, 10:07 PM

oh ya baby - didn't think about that. Looks like I need to charge up the video camera. Thanks for the idea.

No problem

i think i'm going to put 93 B18a camshafts and Skunk2 cam gears on my B18b

and from the pics...looks like you have a rainbow of colors going on

wire/hose tuck, a lil more paint under the hood, and you'll be looking alot better... I love how the B-series engines look under the hood of a EF... fills out more, I think.

I'm pretty sure my next EF (hopefully another CRX, possibly another sedan) will be LS/Vtec all motor.
