Hey guys,
I'm after some advice from people that have done engine swaps and declared them and done the whole legal thing.
I am going from 1600cc (B16B) to 1800cc (B18C) and will be declaring the swap and doing everything legally.
My insurance company really don't mind modifications..they quote me on power increase not modifications :rockon: So, not worried about that aspect.
However, once the swap has been done:
How do I go about updating my V5 so that is shows as 1800cc?
I guess my tax band then changes?
What happens come MOT time? The EK9 is already an import on a 98 plate, does it have a full UK standard MOT because of the year or is it fast idle because it is an import and there is no UK equivalent (engine wise).
The B18C is the JDM engine which has a few minor differences to the UK spec engine you get in the UKDM Integra, but is still a different engine code. So hopefully when I got JDM B18C, it will just be a fast idle as it should not be on their data base?
( Last two questions I should really ask on EK9.org but I've posted here just in case! )
Cheers!
