good job man, although i am a little upset about no pics, but if you come through with some and redeem yourself, it will be o.k. my first swap was a b18b also, fairly easy swap, at least you don't have to wire up any vtec

vtec is not hard to wire, it's 2 wires unless you go with a real deal pr3 or pwo, then it's 4. good job doing this ----, how long did it take you? my civic was out for 6 weeks while I put the b16 in. I got the old engine out and the new one in in 4 days and then I had the wrong distributor and wrong axles and then a wiring problem that wasn't something I wired up, so I got fucked up. Then I drove it for 3 days and the radiator exploded and I kept driving like a dumbass and the engine overheated and I didn't have my temp gauge hooked up. thanks for listening to my story

my first swap took two days, i could have had it done in less than a day, but most of the time was spend celebrating and drinking a beer every time i figured something out

umm, it took me like 4 days... but porbly under 2 in total hours. i spent some the day sunday, with alot of beer drinking, didnt do anything monday... then it was like half the day tues and wed. and i was good to go. little ---- like a longer mount bolt and some extra flywheels bolts were just time consuming gay ----. if it had to do it again, i could do it alot quicker. the learning was the best part...

o yea, ----....ill go take a few pics now

well, i fibbed a little bit :P it took me two days to get the swap done and everything was ready to go, then when i went to start it up, i didn't start. it took me 4 more days and about 5 sets of plugs to figure out that i had my firing order wrong but if it wasn't for that, it would have fired right up, man it's a good feeling to turn the key and hear that bitch start up
