hey guys, I've done a lot of research into this swap and were doing it on my buddies LX sedan. The swap is a b18a from a 93 integra with the stock cable tranny.
I followed the following chart to help out but it only complicates things.


1) we used the integra driver side mount and it fit in there perfectly without complications.

2) The chart says you can use the civic top tranny mount but it wont even bolt onto the b-series transmission. The only mount that bolts onto it is the STOCK b-series integra tranny mount.

With the driver side mount bolted...we can't get the tranny top mount to sit in the bolt hole to attach it to the chassis because it passes the holes by 1/2"

3) For the rear mount...we used the civic cross memeber rubber mount but the bracket from the integra nor civic wont work. For this we need to use a 94+ integra rear bracket correct???

*I've searched this before but the info posted isn't all that acurate so can somebody please that has done this swap and know what we need please post up

thanks

92-95 EG & Del Sol with a 94-2000 Integra LS B18B Engine.

Transmission: These Engines come with Hydraulic clutch transmissions including Japanese or American market Y21, Y80, S80, AND S4C. Japanese or American market S1, J1, A1, Y1 or YS1 cable clutch transmission with Hasport cable conversion kit part # M92-CC can be used.

Mounts: A combination of stock and integra mounts can be used if a hydraulic B- series tranny is used. on some 96 and up engines you may need to change the bracket under the timing belt and on the rear of the engine for ones of the appropriate year.

ECU: p75 from a 94-95 Integra

Electrical Differences: CX and VX need to convert to 4 wire o2 sensor. All models modify stock harness to fit.

Axles: 90-93 integra axles, 94-up integra axles, 94-97 Del Sol Vtec axles, or 99-00 Civic Si Axles. Note the intermediate shaft seal in the left side of transmission is different for 90-93 Integra Axles. Depending on Axle transmission Combo, It may have to be changed. Hasport Part#: EGBAXCMP

Shift Linkage: 94-up Integra linkage for Civics. 94-97 Del Sol Vtec linkage for Del Sol

Upper Radiator Hose: 94-Up Integra LS

Lower Radiator Hose: 94 Del Sol Vtec

Throttle Cable: 94 Integra LS

Clutch Hydraulics: Stock

Air Conditioning: 94-95 Del Sol Vtec A/C bracket

Special instructions: Using OBD II Ecu requires involved wiring modifications. Generally if the ECU you choose does not use the same plugs as the stock ECU, an Adapter harness will cut down on alot of potential problems

Special Considerations: Nice motor, Smog Legal, and excellent base for turbo car. Smog Legal in CA

Correct. We have the driver side integra bracket(93) and stock integra mount(93) and the integra tranny top mount won't line up properly. And from searching...people say you can use the stock civic top mount but it wont even bolt onto the tranny.

Update

Well here is a corrective update for the swap of putting a b18a into a 92-95 civic(we did it on an LX)

1) The mounts you DO NEED are 1994+ Driver side engine bracket and mount

2) The rear bracket needs to be from a 94+ integra. The mount for the rear can be used from the civic/integra also.

3) The top tranny mount we used is the 90-93 integra mount and also the 94+ teg mount works. Whoever said you can use a civic mount has never done this swap.

4) If you want to run the stock LS cable tranny, you will need to switch the VSS sensor from the hydraulic transmission to the cable tranny. Basically it's 1- 10mm or 12mm bolt holding it in. Once you undo the bolt you can take the VSS mechanism out and put it into the cable transmission.

5) The stock 90-93 Integra shift linkage works properly but sits about 1 inch farther away then the stock civic so you can deal with it or get the shift linkage extended.

6) You can install the stock cable clutch pedal but it does require a bit of work...nothing very hard and impossible.

7) You can use the 90-93 Integra gas pedal linkage

***
We tried to do this swap using as much stock civic mounts as we could(owner of the car neglected to get the proper mounts on time) so we had to try to see what we could do.

using the driver side 92 integra mound and the integra top tranny mount the motor sat in there but on an angle and a bit off so the mounts required NEED to be purchased in order for the motor to sit properly

I will update this thread in the next few days after all the final bugs are worked out with the swap and will update everybody of any changes.
