Everybody here realizes how much work this would be right. I mean custom mounts, custom cable to hydraulic conversion, custom dbw to cable throttle conversion, direct ignition to distributor cap conversion, what else, the b18c is an extra 70 lbs heavier than a k20 which is 110lbs heavier than the L15 so you're adding 180 pounds. oh yea more custom wiring since the fit dash doesn't work without its ecu, anything else?
Honda-Tech.com: Hybrid: Finally, the TRUTH regarding K-Series vs. B-Series engine weights!
b18c is a great platform to start from.
currently making 263hp with a bored/stroked fully built b18c in my 2000 civic si.
and swapping wire harness isnt hard.
custom mounts are already being made just for this. (just not as available as the k mounts for the fit)
there is already how to's on setting up throttle cable conversion.
as for the gauge cluster...ive seen rsx clusters in 96-00 civics so putting a ek cluster in our fit wouldnt be hard either. swap motor wire harness and cluster and go.
expect work and $ to play.

I know a shit ton of evo guys who would trade their 4B11T for a 4G63. Newer is not better. Even though it may not be a good idea from a technical aspect to put a B series into a fit, calling it a steam engine is ignorant statement. This was not a stupid question.

ture new is not always better but could that be cuase the older modles already have 10+years in aftermartket devolopment and support? i mean common now the 4g63 is a awsome motor but i think the newer one will just be like the 4g63 but even better and same goes wiht the b vs k series questionl.
If I could put B18C in for $3000 less than a K20, that's the route I would go.
