Honda Civic ESi 94 engine swap

**ferdine** · January 24th, 2005 04:38 PM

Folks,
Please bear with me because I need your wisdom. I have a Honda Civic ESi 94 model which I'm planning to have engine swap this coming summer. Plano ko po yong B18C6/B18C7. Anybody has ever done this? Alam nyo, before I embark on this plan, I want to research first what are required especially if I use the car in the Philippines. May mga experto na bang mekaniko sa atin who can properly execute this? Any links for a starter? Gusto ko lang pong malaman kung ano ang procedure kasi may mga terms na hindi ako sigurado, like OBD1 ecu, conversion harness etc., etc. Thanks in advance.

what's your budget para sa project mo?

a B18c would set you back around 200-220k, that includes everything like the computer box, tranny sans brakes. add mga 15-20k for install and electrical.

kasya sa kasya, pero mejo madugo dahil madaming imomodify na engine mounts since malaki yung engine. ganon yung project car ng top gear magazine, EG hatch na naka B18c.

madugo lang talaga sa bulsa

Do try to buy Top Gear Philippines January 2005.

They have a Honda Esi Project Car there, which as of the last update they've already installed the following: B18C engine, fuel tank, radiator, Civic Type-R brakes, 15" street mags & tires, 15" drag / circuit mags & tires.

The mechanical part of project was done at Speedyfix (the author & owner of that shop also posts here under that name).

Just an observation, laki talaga yung cost difference of doing a Honda engine swap vs. other brands...

Guys,
Maraming salamat po sa mga advice nyo at I'll try po to buy this top gear magazine. Actually, I have in mind of spending 250T PHP for this project dahil first car ko po ito at may sentimental value na sa akin. The body is still strong and I don't have much problem on this car after more than 10 years of regular use. My problem now is who are the experts to hire if I have to live in Cebu area? I think traveling to the capital if problems arise would take a big toll of my resources, assuming I'll have it worked in Manila and later take it to Cebu. Again, salamat po sa inyo.

250 k budget?? Whoa!!! that's gonna be fun

Did a swap on my EG hatch pero d15B lang po, 130hp, tapos matic tranny, complete Gathers interior, all power, including steering. Mga nasa 100K nako. Bilis! 150 kph no problem at all. Bro lilipad na yan sa B18, he!he! Sa Manila madami kayang gumawa niyan. E-Racing, H3, Speedyfix, Autoxer. Why not a B16B Type R engine? Straight swap saiyo yun. 150K installed na yan. 170hp I think is ok di ba? or.... go FI. have the PH16 overhauled then go turbo. You can easily get 200hp tapos 100K ok na. Visit the HondaClub to get more info. One thing I can say, sarap niyan!
