Just a quick question.
In the future i would like to do a honda engine conversion on my clubman and i would really love to drop a Type R engine in there.
However i dont want to mod the front in any way whatsoever so as far i can tell i need a 1.8 engine.
Am i correct in thinking that they did a 1.8 type r engine for the intergra?
Thx Stu

The Integra DC2 engine is indeed a 1.8.

id like to do this.. you wouldnt get tourque steer with this engine yould you?
it depends what subframe you go for.
mine uses a watsons frame and has almost no torque steer. I can give it full beans on bumpy roads with no priblems

Ive heard that some of the subframes that use mini suspention have lots of torque but i have never driven one

As said the B18C engine from the Integra DC2 is the 1.8 which will fit. IF you can get you hands on a JDM spec one they have a little more power I beleive.
There are a few for sale one ebay, though I have seen some go much cheaper on the Integra forums.
Cool thx for that. Lol look at the other picture this guy just collects front ends

My mate has a DC2 'teg and it's awesome, B18C is a brilliant engine.
Not as good as an H22A7 (my Accord's engine) mind you lol
Thx for the light by the way and it would be cool to pop a H22A7 in there but space wise hmm not thinking it would not work also want to keep the mini running gear and track width!!!
Quick question am i right in thinking the B18C only had a 5 speed box not a 6 speed like the new Civic Type R's?

I have seen the beginnings of a conversion where one guy put the engine and subframe into a round nose front without chopping the front end off. He did have to modify the inner wings to gain clearance for the gearbox and possibly the crank pully (it was a long time ago that i saw the pictures.
One downside is that you'll have to lower the car down onto the engine and subframe.
Ive only seen this done with a round nose mind. But I cant see the clubby being too much wider in the engine bay.

My other car is pretty much a teg, just a poor mans version!
seriously tho, a B18 into a mini? Would you ever get traction? I would of thought a B16 would of been ample? And half the price!
