YESSSS, Im finally swapping in a b-series! My friend did the same swap in his hatch (i have a sedan btw), and he used his d-series shift linkage and he said it worked fine. Is he full of **** or will it really work? I have the linkage for the b anyways, but i just wanted to know. Also, as far as I know the stock mounts will work, only if you have the alluminum driverside mount that comes in EXs. Is this true also? I also have all the mounts from the b-series, but again im just curious. Hubs? I have DC integra hubs but i have heard stock civic ones will work fine. Again, just curious. If theres anything else i need to know, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. Im rippin my d out this weekend because im tired of my friends cars being faster than mine! Thanks!

if you have all the mounts and shift linkages...why not just use those?

InTheLBC20

True, but i just wanted a more experienced opinion on what works and what doesnt work

slo_hatch

well when i was gonna do my b series swap...they told me that i needed all the b series stuff...motor, tranny, mounts, shift linkage, ecu, and sometimes a wiring harness. so im not 100% sure...but im pretty sure the mounts will not work and the linkage do not either.

It doesn't, its too short and the way the stabilizer bar mounts to the transmission is different. The shifter itself can be reused however.

If you have the aluminum 3 post mount from an EX/Si or VX you can reuse that mount. Or you can use the civic style 2 post mount as long as you use both the bracket and the mount. The upper transmission mount can be reused in all cases provided that car was already a 5 speed. Everything else needs to come from a '94 - '01 integra or '94 - '97 Del Sol Vtec.

Civic hubs work just fine.

Awesome! thank you

Small clarification:

The two front lower anti-roll mounts that bolt to the undersides of the frame rails needs to be 92-95 Civic as the Integra ones do not sit flush with the frame rails. These are the horseshoe shaped mounts.

Also are you trying to keep A/C? If you are that will dictate what a/c bracket is used. If you want a/c use either a 97 CR-V or 94-97 Del Sol VTEC a/c bracket. If not a/c then use the Integra bracket.

InTheLBC20

Those brackets let you use your stock a/c compressor, right?

B18C5-EH2

Yes stock Civic compressor, lines, etc.

What kind of throttle cable bracket do i need to use my stock throttle cable with a B18B1?

You would be best off using the b18b1 throttle cable and bracket.
