Got in an argument with my friend the other day :slap:
Just need a yes or no answer to this question…do not need made fun of…
My friend has a 99 civic ex with a d16y8 and a manual transmission
He wants to do a b16 swap
If he gets a b16 out of a 99 or 2000 civic si do they make any sort of adapter plates so he can use his d16y8 transmission?
I told him I never heard of that…he doesn’t know much about civics and said that there has to be something that he can do so he doesn’t have to buy a transmission
So - a yes or no answer to this question - Can you swap a b16 and use a d16 transmission?
no and you wouldent want to. D series trannys dont hold b series power. they make a D to B but not a B to D, The cost of the plate alone prob would be more then the tranny anyway.
ok I have another question and instead of making a new thread I will just askin on here
again - friend doing swap - got b16a2 engine out of 2000 si. He now agrees with me and needs a transmission also. But the new question is about the ECU. Does he need to get a new ecu? Or are they the same or is there any sort of jumper harness that he can use or what? I have no clue on ecu’s. All i know is its a stock 1999 obd2 ecu out of a manual civic.
Thanks in advance.
your gonna want a “P2T” ECU from a '99-‘00 Si. this is the only car that ECU came in. you can use jumper harness’ and other ecu’s that are chipped per your spec, but utilizing a P2T is the easiest way
you can run any VTEC ECU with that setup with the proper map and OBD conversion harness p72, p73, p28 etc. OBD2 a or b will be fine with that motor, OBD1 ECu’s will need the conversion harness
hell no you can crossbreed b and d series…thats like taking a shit and wiping with sandpaper…it just dont make sense…single cam tranny on a dual cam engine…no effin way
