B18C1 Swap

B18C1 Swap Pics

Here is my swap. It's a 2000 B18C1 into a 1998 Civic. The engine had to be the same year or newer to pass the BAR inspection. Overall it took about 3 weeks to complete, working mostly on my own but getting help with the grunt work from my dad and some friends. I hope the next few pages will be helpful for anyone who wants to do a B-series swap into a 6th generation Civic. Enjoy!

2) Engine Bay Pictures
3) Wiring for the B18
4) Prep Work before B18 install
5) Engine Installation & Conclusion

When I got my swap from Import Auto Salvage, this is how well the packaging was. Motor was strapped down tight to the pallet; nuts, bolts, ecu were in boxes; hoses were plugged up and everything was wrapped together nicely.

And this is how it looked when everything was unwrapped.

I forgot to take a picture before the swap process started, but here's the only picture I could find. I think the only thing out is the intake tube.
