Default 1996 civic dx coupe.... B18b1 swap?

Im wondering how hard it would be to put a b18b1 into my 96 dx coupe.

I know i need:

94 and up ted axles

B series shift linkage (anything specific?)

B series mounts. Probably hasport or something

Will i run into any wiring problems? I was thinking it would be plug and play cause d16y7 isn't vtec.

This wouldn't be my first motor swap. Just making sure i understand the situation before i go for it and encounter problems i wasn't expecting.

Im guessing you have not looking in the FAQs.
That is one of more simpler swaps. The harness would be plug and play.
You would also need the rear T bracket and post mount from a 99-00 civic SI

oh and for this swap you would also need a obd2a ecu. obd2a n obd2b are different

for the shift linkage any hydro b series shift linkage would work

Thanks a lot for the reply. I searched the FAQ but really couldnt find anything on it.

So pretty much drop it in and everything will plug in with no problem?

Just need obd2a ecu and rear t bracket and si mount?

You will need:
-96-98 P75 ecu, or a 94-95 P75 ecu with a stepdown harness.
-94-01 integra/99-00 Si shift linkage.
-94-01 integra/99-00 Si axles
-99-00 Si rear t-bracket
-Don't forget to rewire the IACV wires at the ecu.
-94-01 integra/99-00 Si lower torque mount bracket

Other than that the whole thing is drop in and plug and play. I would recommend upgrading the driver side upper mount; the stock jelly mounts tend to break.

no. that just replaces the rubber mounts, which you don't need to with the swap.

The only sensor that you will have to rewire is the IACV, your car has a 3 wire sensor, everything else is 2 wire. You basically need a 2 prong plug from any harness and you swap 2 wires at the ecu and disconnect a third. Type it into google images and the ff-squad pinout will come up.
