B18B1 swap help
I'm new to here and I was checking around on the threads on here. I am getting a decent deal for a B18B1 (95 Integra LS) swap. I'm getting the motor, ECU, and tranny for $370, all it needs is the motor put back together and all the gaskets and such replaced as well as the harness. What all else do I need to do the swap? It's going into a 1992 Honda Civic LX, 4 door automatic. The ECU and tranny are automatic as well, so I was just curious as to what all else I will need to do this. If there is a thread on here for doing this, as I am sure there is, then please post me the link because I couldn't find it. Thanks for your help.

Re: (xruffwvrydax)
Damn man. I know this swap like the back of my own hand... using manual transmissions though. Never touched one first hand using an automatic tranny. Some things that Im pretty sure are the same though, will be the mounts and wiring. You should be able to use your current LX engine harness, it will all plug into all of the b-series plugs. The ECU will be a plug right in affair as well. For your mounts, Id get the drivers side mount from an integra, as well as a rear motor mount and rear motor mount bracket for an automatic integra. I think that your current tranny mount will work, the d-series manual tranny top mount works for b-series manual tranny's, so I dont see why it would be any different with an automatic one. Hope this helps man. If this was a manual swap Id have everything you would need in terms of info. Good luck!!!!!

I've read around that the tranny for the automatics in the Integras are a lot bigger than the manuals, and even when you get it in there that it rarely works out and you have to do all kinds of modifying and its just not worth it. If this it true, then I'm just going to order a DOHC ZC motor with less than 30,000 miles on it for $644 shipped, and everything is plug and play as if it were another D-series motor going back in it.
