I am about to do this conversion in a 1998 EK9 Hatch with an Automatic Tranny in it.

B18b1 with an Automatic Tranmission and ECU for it. I would be putting this into a 98 EK9 Hatch. I know for this to work I have to get the b18 with OBD2. What else would I need to know ahead for this ordeal.

 

search here and www.honda-tech.com

this has been covered a google times before

 

and you dont have an EK9 hatch, if you did it would be a civic type R, thanks

 

I thought the civic type-r had a b16b in it not b18b1?

But anyhow still looking for answers, and thanks for the link sucka.

 

Yeah thanks for the link, sucka, and yeah i think ur right civic2ner.

 

you can do it but it will be a bigger pain in the ass to do this swap then rather switch it to manual...the auto tranny is a lot bigger so getting to fit will be the main problem, also you will need a good welder and you will have to cut and move the passenger side tranny mount

 

on a side note..i dont know which axles you would use..you prolly will have to get modified ones

 

ok thanks EEK. What if i use the axles that come with it, but i am still pondering the idea of a five spd conversion, i am waiting on the significant other in my life to bend to my will. lol

 

i dont know if they will work..since the tranny is bigger/longer you may need a shorter axle..

 

how longer than i need will it be?
