I have a chance to get a hold of an Acura Integra Coupe with the B18B1 Engine and Standard Transmission for $400.00. I currently own a '93 Honda Civic LX Sedan, I wanted to know if it was possible to swap the B18B1 Engine with the Automatic Transmission I have? Or should I just buy a shell for the engine, and try to find a shell with the standard pedals, shift ****, etc.


The Integra body is in really bad shape, so I'd be looking to place the engine in a Civic body.


Exhaust Question:

Would the Integra Coupe Exhaust fit my Civic Sedan?

no you cannot bolt your d series trans onto a b series engine

And no, you can't put the B auto transmission in your car without major modification.

No and no.

slowDB7

lol i did...pretty much no modification needed, but i hate the auto b18

and OP just buy the integra and rip out the engine and tranny and swap it into your civic and make it 5 speed, all the 5 speed parts from the integra will swap into your civic with no problems

Ya know, the auto B into Civic thing is something a few people have claimed to have done, but no one can ever prove that it's done correctly (read: not ghetto rigged) and running correctly.

Well, my plans are to buy the Integra, pull the engine, buy another civic body, and put it into the civic. It's gonna be my project for this summer before I begin University. Thanks everyone!

slowDB7

Lol, I know what you mean, I'm trying to help another member with a auto b swap and he can't get it running good at all.... But I haven't had any running problems yet guess I got lucky


And you should grab a lot of stuff off the integra and scrap the body if its in bad shape

I think you've been asked to PROVE you've actually done the swap. Pics.

slowDB7

I'll grab some pics now and I'll make a video of it after I put the new brakes and ball joints in

Now I have heard it is easier to get one into a 5th gen. As far as a 6th gen? It's a unicorn.

slowDB7

Any specific pics you want, only have my cell to take them with at the moment, but yes its super easy for 5th gens only hard part for 6th gens is the drivers side motor mount....and getting the $200+ ecu conversion harness to run it

If I'm reading it correctly, OP is referring to a B18B1 with manual trans and a civic with a D-series engine having an auto trans. OP, could you confirm?

slowDB7

Yes he is

Actually, if you re-read it that sounds exactly like what he is asking; B-series engine on D-series transmission. The answer is no.

Alec Josephs

Yes, the B18B1 has the manual transmission, and the D15B7 has an automatic tranny.

What I'm going to do, is buy the B18B1 Integra, pull the engine, and then I'm going to go on a search for a Civic body, and install the B series engine.
