what's up guys welcome back to my
channel so today's video has been highly
requested and something I've been
wanting to do to show you guys what part
I used for my b18c swap into my civic i
guess some quick details when you're
doing this swap it's easiest to have the
same generation of admissions to your on
your engine that's going into your car
as your current car so for instance my
civic was built in nineteen ninety-seven
so it was obd 2a and when I went to find
my donor slot my b18c I made sure it was
also obd 2a there are ways to
incorporate obd1 oro b2b into your civic
but it also adds some complexity in
terms of parts or just some things that
you have to omit to make it work but for
me personally I tried to keep it the
same because they made it the easiest
for me so if you guys are putting an
obd1 car already one engine into an obd2
car or vice versa
it's gonna be a little bit different and
i will be able to explain in this video
in particular but if you do want to see
that video let me know in the comments
below and i can find those details for
you to share so real quick for me when I
bought my integra donor had all my parts
already in it but if you guys first big
thing you need is the b18c swap or b16
swap whatever engineer putting in you
just need to make sure you have whatever
b-series engine you want make sure it's
a full swaps that includes ECU wiring
harness that's uncut you need your axles
you need to make sure as a header all
sensors are there just make sure it's
all complete and it has everything you
need because you do need to be series
axles for that specific engine so for me
that was a p72 ECU which was overly to a
into my obd 2a civic the next thing you
guys need to make sure you have on any
be series swap into a civic specifically
an EK civic is you need to buy the civic
SI em1 t bracket and i'll show a picture
of it right here it is 80 bracket and
this is what mounts to your transmission
in the back of the engine against the
firewall for the melt you can't reuse
the civic 14
you can't reuse the integra one you need
the DAT b16a sin against ISIL t bracket
which what about 60 70 bucks i think
they're not very expensive and OEM honda
so it's really cool for that reason
next thing you need to do in terms of
mounts is you need to go to the junkyard
or go online and buy the to post amount
from maybe 20 CR v so the reason why I
chose this direction and on all of my
parts as I wanted to use all OEM honda
parts if I could so for me to be 22 post
mount which is on the driver's side
it uses the stock d16 mount that sits on
top of it so I didn't have to buy any
additional melts for my car I was just
able to swap it off the b18c to the b20
mount and then bolted directly and same
goes if you want to keep AC in your car
you need to go to the junkyard and get
the AC bracket off the b20 cr-v and the
reason why is the integra AC compressor
does not fit onto in the civic anyways I
wanted to try to keep everything the
same so I took my deep the b20 bracket
bolt it onto the b18c it allowed my
civic compressor which was already on
the car to bolt right up without having
to open the AC system have to get a
recharge and that allowed me to use the
lower training mount and the lower
driver side mount as well which is
pretty cool
the next mount that you need you guys
should already have if you're pulling
out the d16 from your civic is the
training mount if you look on the
transmission there's a bracket that bolt
to the transmission and then you have
the pancake mount that goes up to or the
round mount that goes to the firewall
you can't reuse the b18c1 you need to
take the one off your civic engine to
put it back into your civic so make that
swapping parts they showed in a previous
video kinda when i was doing real
quickly but you need to reuse that mount
as well the next thing you need is the
d16 harness from your car if you're
lucky enough to have addy 16px engine in
your car you already have vtec you
already have the crank position sensor
that's what you need
you don't have to really do much is
actually pretty plug-and-play for me i
have a DX which means no
b.tech so I had a reuse my d16 hardest
but then also go on ebay 200 parts guy
our honda guy i can remember anyways all
share a link in the description box and
then also right here on the screen that
will tell you where I got it from on
ebay which includes the vtec senators
which the pressure since the pressure
switch the fluctuation switch it has the
dual intake manifold switch for the
butterfly valves in the b18c I didn't
use it because i don't have it but has
all the other additional sensors you
need to add incorporate into your
harness so what I did is I just kind of
splice it in and then ran it all back
into the d16 harness so you'll need that
as well if you are going to add vtec the
next thing you need is a GSR shift
linkage i don't know if you can use an
LS 5 speed shift linkage I think you
cannot see why would be any different
but you do need a shift linkage from ABC
series engine so the next thing you'll
need is the clutch line on your d16
engine that goes across the top of the
transmission and there's a bracket in
the back on the d16 engine also a
picture right here of how it looks on
the be 18 once wanted but what it
essentially allows you to do is reuse
that hard line from the slave cylinder
transmission run it back to the back
your transmission and just use all of
your civic I'm hardline so you have to
swap any transmit our clutch master
cylinder lines which is really really
nice it's all hun apart so the next
thing guys will need is one you need a
fuel filter which just dinner main fuel
filter spark plug wires distributor cap
and rotor valve cover gasket set timing
belt kit thermostat which i will talk
about in a later video that I definitely
should replace you can do all those
maintenance parts that you need to some
people to swap it in which is what I did
because I knew the engine was healthy
because i was able to drive the integra
prior to pull the motor but you will
need the upper and lower radiator hoses
from a b18c so make sure it's integra
hoses you will need those they all do
mount up to your civic radiator which I
didn't actually swap the Raiders use my
standard stock civic d16 radiator I have
no cooling problems whatsoever
the only other thing that you might need
is an air filter just typical
maintenance parts from their zip ties
Pete yolks eclipse for strapping down
wires extra vacuum line suggest if you
need to replace vacuum lines replace
those fuel line return maybe but to be
honest you should have all those parts
of your civic already and then just run
down to the auto parts store if you need
to get some extra hoses or whatnot but
that is all i needed for it i will leave
all of the list in the description box
below for everyone to see with part
numbers from honda as well make it real
simple for you guys but this isn't the
end-all be-all article on how to do a
civic swab and what parts you need it
might be different for you remember this
was a 97 civic with a 96 integrity 18c
engine so they're both obd 2a I have to
have to say it is the disclaimer I can't
say that this is the correct parts for
your car so if you guys do buy the parts
that will fit i'm sorry it's not my
fault I'm just telling you what worked
for me so keep that in mind and do your
research on heart attack or any of those
websites they make it they have a lot of
articles on there are different parts
you need so thank you guys for watching
be sure to subscribe check out my other
videos which I will leave my car up here
that tells you a previous video in the
playlist of all the steps and all the
different videos of creating this b18c
swap which has been awesome so far
haven't had any issues so thank you guys
for watching I'll see you next time
that to that
