I used to live in Japan during the 90s, and I saw EF SiR cars in the wild all the time. This thing is even more powerful than those back in the day. There's no way this wouldn't be fun. All it needs is my homemade sushi, for that total JDM feel. Haha
The only time I see them in California is it I go to a car meet and even then you rarely see them out here and I just started getting into sushi I regret not getting into it sooner that stuff is delicious
Worth it???? That engine is beyond legendary, I would so argue the fact that that engine is probably the best maid engine ever in existence, and the track record speaks for itself. My opinion yes definitely worth it👍🏻👍🏻🙏🙏
My bought mine because I've always wanted one when I was a kid. It's slow by today standards for sure. But hey, friends and family who drive my civic always have a smile.
Just got a EK hatch, never had one when I was younger, Gunna source a b18c and drop it in. Don’t care about power, I just want a easy car to restore and enjoy. I’ve already done the “fast cars” part of my life, just got my son an IS300 And he’s loving the hunt for JDM Altezza stuff. I was thinking of doing a k20, but I want the engine to be period correct, so a spooned out B18 would be nice with a OEM type R yellow and OEM CX interior. Looking forward to it, the EK I got is a 1 owner FULLY stock, so I think that’s pretty awesome too
AMBIDEXSTRESS Thanks man, I appreciate that, my son and I are going to install his Greddy SP Supreme and Altezza front grille. Your video helped me, because I didn’t know about Hondamotorsonline, they actually have them in stock and they come with everything. So that’s awesome! Subbing
Team Ghast no problem bro you should definetly post that install of grill on TH-cam and I recommend getting the 98-99 spec type r becuase the transmission comes with a 4.7 final drive but either one will work for you I’m going to be posting some new videos this weekend so stay tuned🙌🏽 Hit me up on Ig if you have any question @ambidexstress
2023 I have b18c paid 7k it’s worth it it’s the jar if the beginning of dohc I fell in love with the car it’s scary fast but i promise you will not regret buying it
@ambidexstress Alright thanks man. I'd be pulling the d16z6 out of a 1994 del sol, I've never actually swapped a full engine, is there anything special I will need? Had a few folks tell me the 18/16 swap would mostly just drop right in.
@ I’m not 100% sure I forget but I know you’ll need b series axels harness ecu motor mounts shift linkage I think a few more things but that’s what I remember off the top
Here today and I’m into a gsr swap 4 k but I’m gonna say for what I paid as oppose to looking into importing this swaps totally worth it ….. do it for the pitches💯
I’m not hearing the vtech crossover. Is it tuned? I have a type r and it’s tuned on s300 and the vtec crossover is hella loud just puts a grin on your face.
I really appreciate your input on this matter, cuz I'm at the point where I can't decide which way to go as far as which motor to get for my EJ1 restomod project to be use as a backup daily. This video gives me an idea on how to go about it. Thank you bro!!really appreciate it!!! And good luck on your channel!!
I got a pretty good deal on an itr swapped ek, it is crazy fun (not crazy fast.) The power feels good and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun daily driver engine. (the trans gears are kinda short tho)
Ek with a type r swap sounds like fun and yeah I’d recommend it too fer sure the only reason I said it’s not worth it is because there cheaper options but yeah this is not a bad option if you got the extra money to do it
@@ambidexstress Definitely can be done cheaper. My brother is building a poor mans type r with leftover parts. He will have 220hp+ for half the cost of a used b18cr.
@@ItsMontySZN yeah bro anytime and as far as transmission goes a b16 trans will be fine it don’t gotta be a type r transmission unless you want it to be type r
Thx for video, I just boosted my b20 kind of went overboard so now it’s a weekend car, you would recommend a h2b swap instead of true type r? I’m going to be doing a swap in about 2 weeks just got another 98 civic coupe for daily stuck on what to do for n/a
AMBIDEXSTRESS thanks I subbed to support ur Chanel growth, need more older Honda guys out there keep videos coming! H2b seems more modifications goin to see if a h22 fulll motor and tranny would be any good over a type r
Rome thanks for that I subbed back as well and I’m actually going to start making videos again this weekend I had a big hiccup with the car but it’s good now got some new stuff for it you’ll see on the next video and get the brough performance kit so your engine and sit lower and you’ll be able to close the hood and get the h23a it has more power than the h22 and whatever transmission you have will work with it the best part is you’ll pay less than what you would pay for the type r
A what’s up man yeah that motor is worth it fer sure and if you do stage 2 cams on it with a dyno tune you’ll be much faster the the type r motor I have there’s a lot of room for potential with the b18c1
Worth what? $5.00? Sure. I got a complete running B18B1 with cable trans that had a new clutch for $175 delivered to my house. Cleaning it, replacing seals, rings and it is going into my CRX. Even came with T bracket, halfshaft and side mount for the EF.
A year later??? My opinion-TYPE-R autocross great high RMP. Drag other motors if want raw power. Fun- TYPE-R if u wanna SMILE all day with V-TEC.. One thing Tho. Doesn't matter what u have D,B,K or a 2JZ in it.. Have pride and joy on ur own builds at the end of the day u will smile with a beer in ur hands to cool of them bruises off ur hands.. HAVE FUN YA!!!

Man you look so happy driving that thing
It’s a fun car to drive
What a sick ass vid! Keep it going bro! Can’t wait to see that bad boy turbocharged!
Thanks bro! You already know this shits about to be fun
Good luck finding a type R motor now since prices doubled haha
there truly Gems now who ever kept the motor stock
I agree it’s the best stock engine if you’re trying to stay OEM with minimum upgrades. Other than that building one is cheap and more power.
Exactly man I’d say if your a purist yeah get it but If not Frankenstein you a nice set up instead haha
Its just so expensive when a k20 makes more hp for less money, and more torque too.. k24 is the ultimate 4 cyl big block.
That thing SOUNDS amazing!
Thank you!
Dude watching this video I can feel the pull of VTEC Wow that's super Enjoyable
Haha yeah bro the vtec is nasty on the type r motors do you have one as well?
Nice pep talk. I have a d series. In a 99si coupe. What swap would u recommend besides k.
B18c gsr best drop in motor
Would it be recommended replscing the d16z6 with a complete b18c1/b16a trans ecu harness for 3900
@@joshua7426 yeah I would it’s a big difference

@@ambidexstress boosted 1.6 is a great combination 👍🏻🏁

Good vid man! Crx+type R is a great combo!!
Thanks bro yeah it’s amazing light weight with just enough power to hold its own
I’m not hearing the vtech crossover. Is it tuned? I have a type r and it’s tuned on s300 and the vtec crossover is hella loud just puts a grin on your face.
Nice
Nice vid man! I subbed + notifications.
I got a 98 spec type r engine in my 94 gsr it's an all motor build I love it
Iv a b18c4 engine. How could i make mine like this. Or would it be cheaper to just buy the b18c.

I’m getting an ek hatch soon. And I can’t decide if I should get a b16b or the b18c🤷🏻.
B16b isn’t good for the price I’d say just go B18c type r you’ll be happier with it very reliable and quick
