EF Civic Sedan B18B swap, Engine is in!

[@the4thgen_tfl]

Nice build man. I've got a B16A swap i'm working on in my car at the moment. I'm in the middle of tearing mine down to refresh it but i'll be rewiring mine pretty soon.

[@Knownworldwide]

Sweet! B16 is a great motor. Keeping it N/A or gonna boost it?

[@the4thgen_tfl]

@@Knownworldwide I’m an N/A fan. So I’m building it with that in mind. Nothing too wild but I’ll sweeten it a bit. 😬

[@Knownworldwide]

Sounds good! Nice set of cams will wake that motor up for sure.

[@the4thgen_tfl]

@@Knownworldwide Yep definitely. I’m pretty excited to see how it turns out. I’ll be following your build as well.

[@Knownworldwide]

@@the4thgen_tfl we’ll definitely go and check out my channel. You will see what happens to the civic.

[@LoganDidItYT]

I’m excited to see some rips in it. I got something new in the garage…. It’ll be interesting.

[@Knownworldwide]

Hell yeah! Thanks for watching as always.

[@EnriqueRosario-l7p]

I have Hasport in my ef and my hood hitting the valve cover. Did you have any issues

[@Knownworldwide]

Zero issues. My hood shuts just fine. No rubbing at all. You can just run a spacer/washers on the back of the hood to clear. Should work but you know some don’t like that look but it’s what every used to do (and still do) back in the day.

[@Knownworldwide]

Thanks for watching btw! Hope you decide to stick around.

[@amorblek]

did you have to change out your Knuckle Spindle Hub, break Calipers or Rotors? or is it just your axels and intermediate shaft that you have to swap out?

[@Knownworldwide]

@@amorblek just axles and intermediate shaft. If you civic/crx is a STD or HF, then you need to swap out the knuckles to those from a DX/LX/EX/SI

[@amorblek]

thanks🫡

[@mfnxegel5044]

did u change ur front hubs to fit the axels?

[@Knownworldwide]

I didn’t, if you have a STD Civic hatchback (4-speed manual factory) or a HF crx, you will need to change out your hubs to DX/LX/EX hubs.

[@Knownworldwide]

You also need to pull the small dust shield off of the back of the knuckles. Pretty easy to get them off.

[@CiscoDA9RS]

How’s that innovative cable to hydro bracket?

[@Knownworldwide]

It’s great! Works perfectly. I do like this one as opposed to the new version they have that has the master cylinder all as one giant contraption.

[@CiscoDA9RS]

@@Knownworldwide perfect! I have the new version that uses the CMC. I wanna switch it out to the version you have!

[@Knownworldwide]

Yea. I would. You can still get those brackets because that new one is huge and there really isn’t a good place to put it at. I honestly don’t know why they even made it.

[@Knownworldwide]

Here is a link to where I got mine. I didn’t actually buy it separately, mine came in a kit with the swap mounts. eliteracefab.com/products/innovative-b-series-cable-to-hydro-conversion-actuator-brackets?currency=USD&variant=40269748076712&Google%20Shopping&gclid=Cj0KCQiAz9ieBhCIARIsACB0oGKwvcPlPMOgj6tTTZeqm1Y_ix_xPm90iWj3PEuCYsWz7sVmZ1eL0MIaAodkEALw_wcB

@@Knownworldwide thanks man! I just prefer the mechanical aspect of it then using the hydraulic set up!
