B18C1 into a Civic Si

This civic was sitting for 14 years with a blown up motor.
We installed a B18C1 and gave it the LHT TLC treatment

[@ThrillRidePOV]

Thank you John and George for working on my hatch. Im very happy with all the work you guys have done. It couldnt have been done without you guys. After years and years of looking at this car sitting in the garage with no engine not running you guys made my dreams come true. Im very grateful for everything you did. Your quality of work is unmatched. LHT Performance is the best shop around. They truly care and will treat your car like its one of their own. Awesome video and thanks again LHT Performance!

[@LHTPerformance]

Thanks so much for your kind words. We’re so glad you chose LHT to bring it back to life. It’s a great car and we’d be happy to help with stage 2

[@BrodeyDoverosx]

When I grow up, I want John and George to work on one of my projects. Maybe I can coax them to do a titanium exhaust for my Fiat 500 :-).

[@rossdixon5050]

wow lucky you

[@anthonyzamudio7741]

Sir can I have your motor please.

[@jeremyjpegan]

Super cool Si from back in the day. God I miss the 90’s

[@louKushh]

EG is the best looking hatch EVER! such great work bringing this girl back to life. 🔰👌🏽💪🏽 man, that Si interior was so clean! brings back memories.

[@dodge33445]

EG is sexy, but Im an EK guy.... That was the hatch I had when I was in the lime light :) I had an EF too, But the EK was the cleanest and fastest. We used to go to Moroso with John from LHT.

[@redcivic1000]

LHT. I hope you guys go until you’re 90! Just such an amazing channel. Always magic happening around the corner.

[@derrickyi7433]

LOVE the longer format videos with full builds!

[@johnbryan911a]

This hatch reminds me of the first car I ever bought brand new from Hendrick Honda in Hickory NC - a red 94 EX Coupe VTEC for 18 grand...what a looker and runner it was.... This was a great era of Honda cars.

[@Patrick94GSR]

Love my Helms manual! I got the same 94 FSM not long after I got my GSR in 2001. It’s been well used and has saved me countless thousands of dollars over the past 23 years.

[@daneaustin2468]

John is a OG legend in the Honda game. One of the only shops to have Ac and power steering in b swaps. Been doing it right and not cutting corners for 28 years. 🫡

[@LHTPerformance]

🙏

[@goforbroke2]

This hits home. I have a EF hatch with a B16 I used to autox 20 years ago, haven’t started it in 15 years. I’m sure the timing belt would snap. First gen b16 that is 35 years old! Plan on K-swapping it with my son. Might keep the b16 for a year or two and drive it for nostalgia purposes. Decisions…..

[@DJV94022]

Get it running with the b16 itll be a cheap getting running fix versus deciding today to go kswap and making the car sit for another year

[@joserotary9636]

That hatch looks and sounds awesome 💯👍👍👍

[@vah-mingmoua9599]

Simply magnificent...

[@jahbrake9791]

This is the hard hitting sh!t I've been waiting on! B is the OG a K is just ok 👍😁

Yep. It’s where I started. 👍🏻

[@dodge33445]

[@matthewmohri9990]

1995 Civic Si, it literally weighs nothing. 180hp from the B18c plus whatever power the mods give it, is going to be a pretty quick car. Plus you don't see 1995 Civic anything is that fine of condition as well.

[@jalee6587]

2300lbs with 180hp is going to run low 14s in the 1/4mi. Fun

[@tonezone99]

Nice build. You guy make things look super easy

[@LHTPerformance]

There’s a lot of late nights and running around behind the scenes. lol.

[@jayAutoBeat4.0]

What an awesome build & as always the LHT Team is killing it with the exceptional job! This thing came out so clean👍👍 You guys did an amazing job. Keep up the great content!

[@notone4029]

Started the Honda life in 95’. Still going strong to this day like you. Agree , those stanceboy rims hurt the overalll beauty of that Si Hatch.

[@JeffreyRay1]

Really missed seeing how easy is to work on the old B series engines. Had a similar setup B16/B20z2 block S4C transmission. Good old days.

[@VottyS]

Super clean! Fine job gentlemen!!

[@rockytharpjr]

Nice. 👍🏻. GSR belongs in these.

[@jdmmedia8089]

I swear this is magic if I ever saw it 🤤

[@ricksays7133]

I have a '92 Celica and when it's compared to EG Civics, the Celica doesn't have a robust parts support that Civics do. I wouldn't be able to source parts like a new fuel pump assembly and fuel tank, but it's not an issue with Civics. These Civics will outlast Toyotas of the same year of manufacture because of parts support.

[@davidbeverly3463]

Another Bseries BANGER! i love how many Bswaps have been done this last year on the channel! I cant wait to see yall at CHD again this year after i refresh my 97 JDM B18C in my 97 EJ8 EX Coupe! If yall see any EF Si shells around or get offered up keep me in mind please! I want another one and slap my swap in it!

[@StephenBrewer89]

Your nemesis safety glasses are the best. I use the clear for low light areas, mirrored indoor/outdoor most the time. And the dark shades here and there. Best ones out there.

[@devinrovell]

even though im a huge advocate for diy. this car came out great and was likely worth every penny. work of art

[@chubbycheeks4072]

Just watched you guys for the 1stime and was very impressed and blown away at the knowledge, YOU GUYS DO GREAT WORK!

[@LHTPerformance]

Thanks so much 🙏

[@Brock_Landers]

I had a turbo D15B VTEC and it was ALOT of fun with a 50 trim eBay turbo. I built that thing on a budget, but I also installed supporting mods like ARP head studs, Gates Racing timing belt, new tensioner, Gates water pump, Cometic head gasket, a rewired Walbro 255 LPH fuel pump, DSM 440cc injectors (that I had leftover from my multiple DSM and 4g63t Colt builds), and my buddy tuned it on Crome Gold (for 14 hours on the street) on the P28 ECU that I socketed and chipped with a Xenocron kit. I swapped it into my mint 1997 EJ8 Civic coupe with a JDM Del Sol Si trans with LSD (according to the trans code and no I don't remember what it was) and even on 10-12 psi it would destroy most cars on the street. I ended up going with a B18B1 and adapted the turbo kit to it and I ended up making 412 whp at 18 psi with a fully built head (BC Stage 3 Turbo Cams, dual valve springs with titanium retainers, and a fully ported and polished head with titanium oversized valves) and stock internals with new Nippon rings and ACL Race bearings and a GSR trans with an upgraded OBX LSD. It also had a Skunk2 Street intake manifold and a S2 70mm throttle body. I loved that setup. It was SO much fun and so responsive. I had maybe $1500 in the car itself and another $2500 in the engine, trans, and turbo kit. I could downshift and SMOKE full bolt on SRT4s, Cobb Mazdaspeed 3s, and almost all WRXs that I ever came across from a roll. I miss my turbo Hondas. I drice a BMW now and it doesn't have a turbocharger, but I still have my rebuilt dual ball bearing turbo from my J32A swapped Accord...and about 4 others...

[@BrodeyDoverosx]

Dam. Peak car scene era. Fast and furious was fresh when SRT4s and SpecVs were running the roads.

[@Kronic420]

I'll be in the market for another turbo soon, I like to buy used if I can. Wanna sell one?

[@tig3rBite]

Miss my old ef with gsr and eg with 98 type r from hmotors way before k series came out. Fun toys..

[@arturreef8117]

John, bring me memories. Now I want another hatch 😅

[@TY279545]

I always wanted one but never knew where to start. So lucky

[@luvyourmomspie]

Love the green eg. Mine got stolen on black Friday. Was hoping to get a shell back, but nothing yet. so many memories with my little sister that passed away in that car.

[@LHTPerformance]

I’m so sorry to hear that. There’s a special place for people that steal. It’s not something I can say on here. I wish you all the best my friend.

[@Tug-Speedman]

Ahh perfectly done Si. A detail I like that you've thrown in is regarding the cleaning aspect of the aluminum block and head. I've seen so many times people attack them with wire wheels on a drill. That's fine if you like that look but for the OEM finish I just give it a light wire brushing(like you did), some aluminum cleaner and its set. I don't mind them painted but that's a totally different look, what do you guys think of painted blocks and transmissions? Great Job crew!

[@kevindean483]

How is this possibly so clean after 14 years of sitting, this is the stuff that just turns me on

[@jrock162000]

Love these videos man! Every now and then I Google LHT turbo 400kit and go look at photos on Tampa racing that y’all used to have. Is there a link on the site like back in the day where we can see those old LHT setups? They are so inspiring!

[@LHTPerformance]

I’m curious, was any tuning required to use that manifold? I always read that you can’t just bolt that onto a gsr because of the vtec engagement point and fueling when the oem intake runners open. I’m asking because I want one for my Integra lol.

There’s was no tuning don’t on this motor. It’s fine to just bolt it on however, tuning will optimize things.
