Question on 99 EX Civic - B18C Swap???

[darkknightwong]

I'm planning on doing a swap in a 99 Ex Civic.

I want to get a JDM B18C.

What are the details I need to pay attention too in ordering a motor?

I know the motor has to be OBD2? Right?

Does it have to be a 99 B18C???

If I get a 96 B18C motor, it will be OBD1 right? All I need to do is get a OBD2 ECU?

I'm a little lost about this OBD1 and OBD2 deal?
Can anyone tell me the difference between the 2 motors, and which yeah JDM motors are which??

Thanks in Advance!

Your motor must be OBDII and have a hydraulic transmission.

It must be legal - so buy from a legit source. Make sure you're getting papers.

The really, really technical (not like..motor technical..like..literally technical) will say it must be your year or newer.

But you can put in a 96-00 B18C.

1996 is OBDII.

Anything before that is OBDI.

I don't understand the "which JDm motors are which?" part - can ya explain further?

OBD means On Board Diagnostics.

OBDI was from like...1992-1995. OBDII began in 1996.

It is mainly emissions control.

Buy a B18C from there. It's legit and the swap is complete. Tell them Sean sent you.

Doesn't the engine have to be USDM in the first place in order for it to be legal? Or is that just California?
