Hi guys, I just picked up a b18c1 engine and trans and am putting it in my 99 civic ex. This is my first swap, just looking for a little input or advice. Is there anywhere i can get a checklist of EVERY SINGLE TEENY TINY PART i will need to do the swap? Its my DD car and i can't afford a lot of downtime so i'm trying to get it done in 2 days. Just want to make sure i have <U>everything</U> i'm going to need before i start the swap.

Any input or advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Two days should be plenty of time to do the swap. The main things are the mounts, axles, shift linkage and some wiring. If you search the net you should find thousands of sources to help you out.

I'll be in the process of doing this soon. My engine is on the way. IMO, there is still a big confusion on the OBD choices. 99-00 Civics are OBD2b, so your best bet is to get an OBD2b b18c. Now, I'm still trying to find the right answer on this: 96-99 integras are obd2a, to me its unsure b/c of the false info on the net. I've seen websites that have the 96-98 integra as obd2a, and 99-01 as OBD2b. The 00-01 integras are the ones with the Immobilizer. So now there's a confusion with the 99, obd2a or obd2b?!!??!

Otherwise, you're going to need the GSR TB cable and fuel line, driver side t-belt post mount from a 99-00 Si, of course the b series axles, shift linkage, 99-00 Si Rear T bracket mount, 94-97 Del Sol SI A/C mount i believe...

Whatever else......chime in!

obd1 or obd2?
what wiring harness do you have?

beyond that its a rather straightforward swap which shouldn't take more than a day as well as your car isn't a rust bucket.

if you check the faq there's a walk through and parts list.

do yourself a favor and change the clutch/timing belt while the motor is out of the car.
