RE: B16 Swap

Your quite correct,the only swap i have done is from a d15 to a b16,just at the time we were told a h22 is heavier and would hamper the handling.

RE: B16 Swap

lsi's dont have rear disc, they have drums, and why you would need to change your rear brakes for a engine conversoin i dont know....
i can see a fair few problems with the way this guy has advised you with this d seris swap to a b series swap his info is a bit random...any fool can find can talk this but i dont belive this guy have even touched his car witha spanner yet...

RE: B16 Swap

I think I have decided on the engine and all that, I know 2 people around here who have dropped B18b's into their cars, and one has a T3/T4 turbo on it, so I think im just going to get the B18 with VTEC and add a T3 turbo with some FI Cams.

RE: B16 Swap

But I would like to know which car had rear disks so I can do a swap, I hate working on drums, I like to just pull off what I need, not 4-5 springs and retainers and....this...and...that....lol

For the disk swap we went to a breakers yard found an LSi (any civic with rear disks will do) and took all we needed from that,some went in the pocket,some over the fence,either way cheaper than a new conversion kit,lol.
The mounts i believe are the same along wi the transmission and lines (that was false info sorry),the radiator for the b series is bigger cos the engine has more moving parts thus creating more heat.
As for the ecu what do you want the P code or the ODB code?
I'd still advise going for a b18 though,except they don't give that great sound when vtec hits.
Also i'm just wondering which d15 you have,is it alreay injection or is it carb fed? Just working from an already injected engine is a bit easier.

Funny how you got all the disc parts off an lsi when lsi's have rear drums. Hmmmm i smell a bull****er!
