Sorry to bring this one back up but i have decided i am going b18c instead of going fi.
I have a 1999 ek4 civic jordan, how do i stand with regards to wiring, will the b18c just use my loom and will the b18c ecu fit straight to it... not 100% but i think im obd2b. If not which harness convertor do i need?
Also will it bolt up to my ek4 mounts? Any other problems with the facelft ek4 i should know?
Help me out guys please
Just to let you guys know, there is actually something you need to swap from the B16B to the B18C.
It's on the passenger side of the engine, it's like a 2 pinned type of folk that attaches to the engine mount. This is what you need to change, no the mounts themselves.
i know this conversion has been done alot of time but is that much quicker with the b18 R engine? coz i'm hoping to do either the b20 or b18 and need more info on comparing the both engine
Well from what I recall B18 would be more reliable, rev higher safely and easier to drop in than a B20.
but would the ek9 with a b18 be much powerful car than a dc2 b18? if it is, how much more?
How would it be more powerful if it's the same engine?????
It's only the car that is diffrent then!
thats what i mean so the ek9 iwth a b18 is quicker than a dc2 coz of the weight of the car?
So from what I am gathering from reading all this. The Facelift (98 onwards) Ek9 doesnt need a conversion harness if running a B18C and using a DC2 ECU but the prefacelift does?
Just making sure as I am doing a B18C conversion on my friend s EK9 soon.
