I have an EL 1.6 just wondering what i EXACTLY need to put a B18C1 (GSR) motor swap. other than ECU, tranny, shafts, shift linkeage, rear mount. Anything else??? pls let me know iwant to make sure its done proper.
PS- if i only have the GSR head, do i have to buy a Block from a GSR? or will any B18 block do?

well, with your GSR head (B18C1) you can bolt it onto *ANY* b-series VTEC block (B16A/B, B18C1/5) w/o any problems.

ex. I'm using a JDM B18C block with 2nd gen JDM B16A head. (poor man's ITR setup)

but; remember building a motor RIGHT gets very expensive VERY fast; between parts, and machining work.

GS-R swap, in a '98 EL?

preferably;

-OBD II 96+ B18C1 swap
-'96-'98 B18C1 ecu (OBD II version A)
- b-series axles
- b-series shift linkage
- '99-'00 SIR rear engine mount backet
- '99-'00 SiR timing belt side engine mount backet (the mount that bolts into the block; so you can use your stock upper driver's side engine mount
- GS-R upper and lower rad hoses
- GS-R heater hoses (one of them has to be changed)
- GS-R throttle cable
- '96 Del SOL Vtec a/c mount backet
-re-use your stock lower engine/tranny mounts on the swapped B18C1 lower tranny and engine mount backets
- re-use your stock engine wiring harness (can't use the B18C1)

....? that should be it! Same parts (except ecu) and I need to swap a '01 B18C1 into a friend's '99 h/b.

...only thing you have to decide on is exhaust; you'll either need a GS-R cat and an extension made, (will to a bit to short to reach your EL exhaust) or do what I did; I'm using a full TYPE-R exhust except muffler. As in header/front pipe/cat/b-pipe and all fits and lines up perfectly!
