-B18c exhaust manifold will be too short, take a trip to the exhaust shop
when done (or use a b16a unit)

-Skunk2 intake manifold (recomended), positions t-body in proper location
for intake.
-Lots of wiring challenges, repining, lengthening, adding wires (02, knock,IAB,

you!!! HERE
UPDATED 5/11/04
Early this summer (end of May 04') I finished up my B18C gsr engine swap in my crx. My plans are to California B.A.R. certify this engine, so I will be fully street legal. I will try and keep my readers up to date on this process.
I will be converting to obd1, using a U.S. spec p72 ecu, a jdm GSR L.S.D. transmission, and a recently c.a.r.b. certified Skunk2 intake manifold.
Many parts exchange between the b16a and b18c engines. Making it much easier. I will also be sending the throttle body out to be bored to 64mm. HERE
