'90 Civic Swap Info

well your gonna need to either convert your harness from dual point or get an obd0 multiport harness for the engine swap. you need to get the front hubs, axles and brakes out of an si car as they are bigger. you will need to either mod your d series shifter linkage buy cutting and welding it or getting a b series one if you go b series engine. i would say best bet for you would be to get a 90-91 obd0 dohc B18a out of an integra with the wiring harness and shifter linkage and then all you’ll need is the hubs and axles, oh and get the pr4 ecu too for it. second option is spend about $1200 and get an obd0 b16 dohc vtec swap from japan or wherever. or you could find a b20 and throw on obd0 sensors and get you ecu chipped and you will get nice low end torque. you can also find a b16/b18c vtec head and put it on either the b20 or b18a/b and make a cr/vtec, ls/vtec. i know someone who will do all the work for you.

I don’t mind if I need to wire in the harness/computer from whatever car the motor/trans I swap in came from. I have a buddy that’s a wiring guru so I imgaine with some how to docs we can figure it out. Speaking of which, anybody have some good links for ho to’s, similar swapped cars etc?

k20

Remember, I’m a retard at HonDUH. So say I find a K20, what trans do I want to find with an LSD? Does somebody make the right motor mounts, axles etc. to otherwise bolt it up? I need all the details.

@wrayzor

buy my jdm b16 swap!

Remember, I’m in CA so shipping might make it not worth getting something from back east. But what’s the details? Trans (if so LSD)? What all is included etc?

Basically, I need to know the little details. ie if you get this motor you need this trans, you need this motor mount kit, you need these axles, you need these hubs etc.

Also, are there any options for swapping up to teggy brakes or something?
