90-93 B18A1 Block In a EK??
 

Can a b18a1 block fit in the ek's, if so what tranny will it fit with it? 94-01 Ls trans?, 99 si tranny?? Maybe someone has tranny codes for me. Need help I just got a built b18a1 block and i want to use it for my new 1997 civic

Re:90-93 B18A1 Block In a EK??
 

Why would you use a older block in a newer car?

Any B-series tran. will work.
exc. 94-00 LS
Gsr
B16

Re:90-93 B18A1 Block In a EK??
 

because its not old anymore. Its fully built to handle 20-30 psi. Only problem now is finding a trans to match the block and the chassis

Re:90-93 B18A1 Block In a EK??
 

Doesn't any hydro b-series tranny work? I think so, anything from what, 94+ on tegs should work.

Re:90-93 B18A1 Block In a EK??
 

any b series trans will fit, but you will want a hydro trans since you're car is already equipped for a hydro (94 and up i believe), you can use one off a b16, b18, b20, any thing you want.

Sounds good so all these should fit the b18a1 block
Y21, Y80, S80, S4C??

Re:90-93 B18A1 Block In a EK??
 

you can get a hydro to cable adaptor from hasport. really anything is possable with the b series mounting. soon there be a kit for the 77 civic lol

Re:90-93 B18A1 Block In a EK??
 

any bseries will fit. <93 will be cable. 94+ will be hydraulic. you want hydraulic. dont forget the pilot bearing.

Re:90-93 B18A1 Block In a EK??
 

no its 92+ hydro on civics and 94+ hydro on tegs.

Re:90-93 B18A1 Block In a EK??
 

no 92+ civics came w/ bseries in North america until 99 onyx ;)

BTW, how does this have anything to do w/ Forced Induction? ???

94 Del Sol VTEC had a b16a3 and is technically a "Civic Del Sol" :P

Re:90-93 B18A1 Block In a EK??

I got it covered, just hard to find a good pic with snake from the simpsons, hehe

I got a question then, How can you build a honda b18 short block to spin up to 9,000 or even 10,000 rpm's without spinning a bearing or some other catastrophic failure under high boost???
We all know what to do to a head valvetrain etc, but what about the block.
Do sleeves help? lightweight rods? special conn,main bearings and thrust bearings help? certain oil/water pump?
If anyone has brand names to do such a thing let me know I want to start building more of these b18 blocks for very high rpm and boost.

Re:90-93 B18A1 Block In a EK??
 

Start with a good rod ratio. this means no LS blocks. The ideal 1.8L 10,000 rpm engien would be a b16 bored over to 1.8L.

destroke and bore the b18

or just get good pistons and rods, balance the lower end, and hope it doesnt blow :P

Re:90-93 B18A1 Block In a EK??
 

There are 92-95 civic's over here with the B16A2 :P

Re:90-93 B18A1 Block In a EK??
 

Do you really want to run the risk of spinning a motor to 10k rpms and have it be reliable? Stick with your current built LS block and call it a day man.
