No. The EK1 is a cvcc engine, sohc, 8(?) valve, carbed. The B18 is a dohc 16 valve pgm-fi. What are trying to do? cuz you can't swap parts or nothin. Are you thinking about dropping a B18 into your 1st gen? You could do it with lots of wiring and custom motor mounts.

 

no way, ek1 cvcc 12 valve, b18 pgm fi 16 valve, so no not compatible

 

I've got a cvcc Accord w/the EK1, I'm thinking about replacing w/an EW3(1g CRX Si) thats lying around my yard. Did they put the EK1 in the 1g Ludes? I had no idea.

 

They put the EK1 in the U.S. 1g Ludes. They may have put the EL1 in the Canadian models. Don't know about that. Anyway, for all the trouble you would have with installing a 1g CRX engine you could modify the EK1 to make the same power.

Really, you think so? Try finding aftermarket parts for an EK1. The last header I saw on Ebay for an 81 Accord EK1 went for more than a 3g Lude header.

 

This is what I've done to my EK1:

EL1 head (ported, polished, shaved 30 thousandths, silicon bronze valve guides, 1mm oversize intake and exhaust valves, racing springs, port matched to intake and header)

296 degree .410 lift cam

HONDO 4 port header

Dual sidedraft intake w/ Webers

Block (bored 30 thousandths, forged pistons and rods, chrome moly rings)

Lightened flywheel

Centerforce clutch

So yes I think. It just takes time to collect the parts. Check w/ the 1g Civic guys. They modify EK1's and transplant them into their cars all the time.

Two questions for you. How much did that all cost ? and could I do that to my EK keep in mind i dont have a job yet (Will soon) and The ek1 is my first car

 

ok just for fun if your gonna refer to the car in a code at least use its body code (sn1)
and whats the mileage like on your motor? cause theres no point even attempting to mod a tired old motor your just gonna brake things and end up costing yourself more money...

by the way where ya from dude?

 

I've probably got about 3g total in the engine. You could do the same to your engine. Check out these sites. There is a lot of info out there for these engines as well as parts.

Check out Paeco as well. They will make a lot of parts to modify your car.
At some point I may be willing to sell off my stuff. I'll have to wait till spring though.
