EK B swap neccesities/ parts list/ modification.
whats up guys.... getting all my stuff together for my bswap....
motor : OBD1 B18B1
car: 96 5 speed d16y7
I have done alot of research and have gathered alot of parts:
innovative b swap mounts
si t bracket
OBD2a to OBD1 jumper harness
OBD2 alternator
OBD2 distributor
OBD1 injector connectors
I know about the IAT sensor and what needs to be done.
I know about the IACV re wireing.
I was told the inlet & outlet are different sizes on the radiator requiring the use of a 99 si radiator and radiator hoses.... is this true? I did some searching and it looks like some companies sell radiators that are compatible for 92-00 civics with manual trans....
I found when searching about wiring that the knock sensor needs to be wired up...... I cant seem to find the knock sensor on my engine (b18b1).... does it have one or is it just VTEC motors that have knock sensors?

Re: EK B swap neccesities/ parts list/ modification.
use the b16 hoses. they are larger diameter than the d-series.
an obd1 ls does not have a knock sensor, and the obd1 ls ecu won't be looking for one.

it doesn't matter what company mounts you go with christ but you have to have B-series mounts for that motor!

Re: EK B swap neccesities/ parts list/ modification.
no, the T bracket is the only special mount piece you need. Ditching the pillow mount on the drivers side would be nice, but you can use the D series mounts.

Re: EK B swap neccesities/ parts list/ modification.
Just went ahead and ordered the hole kit!
Awesome.... thanks for the heads up.....I think I might just go ahead and get an si radiator too. I dont want to have to crank down a hose clamp to make a bigger hose seal up.

Re: EK B swap neccesities/ parts list/ modification.
ok ok the question is does the motor he is gonna be using has the 3 bolts on the driver side or just 2 like the stock engine cuz if he has the 3 he needs different mount which means he cant use the stock mounts
unless all obd1 motors only have 2bolts on the driver side cuz my ls has 3

Re: EK B swap neccesities/ parts list/ modification.
this info has been covered before, but i'll help since there is some confusion......
You do need "both" the Si t bracket "and" the driver side engine mount POST (the actual part that bolts to the block
As far as mounts go, both the D and B series are the "same", and upgrading to a good aftermarket set like Hasport or Innovation is a smart decision in my books
Don't forget, you need 94-01 Integra axles and a shift linkage

Re: EK B swap neccesities/ parts list/ modification.
Its in.... and up and running! had to extend TPS, MAP, O2 and IACV wiring.....
thanks guys for the help! Glad to say bye bye to the D series running on 2 cylinders! Drained the tranny fluid from the d series tranny and it looked like metallic paint! looked just like GM's pewter color!
