Modification HeAd-AcHe

[jay_ek9]

hii everywan......im a new member and dunno much about modifying........

I have a 1996 Honda Civic EK2, the one with a 1.3 liter engine and automatic transmission.
The car is stock for the moment and im thinking of modifying it. How much would it roughly cost if i were to put in stuffs like

* a B18C engine + Trasmission from an Integra Type R (would it be JPJ approved?)

* Stock B18C braking system or a Brembo Brake set

* Custom Exhaust System(the wan with the straight pipe n stuff)

* a Mugen Meter Panel (Shows a top speed of 240km/h)

* an EK9 dashboard with dual airbags

* a 75HP ZEX nitrous kit (is it safe?)

For the B18C, does it come with ABS(Antilock Brake System) or TCS(Traction Control System)?Are those units sold seperately? What are the prices roughly?

Does the transmission come standard with LSD? If a Short Shifter were added, would there be a big difference?

Do any workshop do front end conversion as i want to convert to an EK9 front end (Lamps+fenders+Hood+bumper) or it has to be done at a chop shop? any good chop shop out there? (a chop shop that has lotzz of EK hatchback parts and does a good job)...:regular_smile:

If i want to tune-up the B18C to around 240HP, is it practical as im a daily driver? how much does it cost to tune it up?

Another thing is that the rubber linings (on the roof, around the windshield and on the doors) have dark spots on them and at some parts and the black colour is a bit faded while on other places, the rubber has shrunk a bit. My friends think its due to the morning dew and our beautiful sunny weather:Not_Impressed:.
Where could i find replacement parts for those rubber linings?

Lastly, where could i find a shop that could custom make seat brackets? coz im thinking of lowering the seat by 5cm....saw it on the other forums from overseas....

-Thank you-

i doubt you can get a 1.8 to your 1.3 chasiss. So find out whether JPJ aloow you to do so.

with such mods u listed...better sel off ur car n get the real b18c car

Yeah, better buy a DC2. much cheaper.

For EK2, the most you can go is maybe B16A. Get the EK4 half cut and it's good enough for the two doors.

Nowadays, even the 4doors EK may always smoke the 2 doors EK with modded B16A.

Up to you.

i appreciate the replies........


what if i were to insert a B16B ctr engine?
would it be better?

could the chassis stand it?
i tot the chassis design layout is the same from an EK2 to an EK9........

-thanks-

rebuild ur car bro...

Yup, from your list of mods, you're looking at a heck of a re-build adventure; not to mention legality issues. Better to get a real EK6/9- you're probably looking at app. slightly more than your conversion cost...
