I finally did it
Well guys, I finally went up to IAS on friday and put a deposit down on a JDM B16 SiR II. I am sooooo happy. They are puttin the clip in the shop this cominng thursday to pull it, clean it and check it out. I should be picking it up in like 2-3 weeks. (gotta find a place to put it). I am hoping to do the swap myself with the help of a few of my friends. Anyone have a Helms manual i can borrow or perhaps purchase fairly cheaply? Which helms do i need anyways? 99-00 si? or the one for my car a 97 ex?
WOO HOO!!
WOO HOO!!

Actually, both manuals would be nice. You should try posting this in the hybrid section though, that's where the swap tech is. You might get more useful info there.

Re: I finally did it (JDMjdawg)
Hey man, congrats but there is a problem, the B16 from an Sir II is obd1 and your car is obd2. Are u changing to OBD1? I know Larry Jr. will get u straightened out on this. He's a great guy and he may have already got you set up. just wondering. And you could really use both manuals, but if its the wiring you are looking for heres a link that will help:

and by the way good luck. remember to hope for the best but plan for the worst. You should get everything u need from IAS, but theres always those unexpected issues. I'm in Spartanburg by the way, if u need help with the swap let me know, but I'm sure u got friends down there who are experienced with it.

I'm jealous 
Congrats though.
If you go to http://www.hasport.com and look under swap tech you should find some useful info (don't know if it'll help but it's somethin to read) You will probably need the Helm's for both cars. Good Luck and have some fun!

Re: I finally did it (mantic6t9)
guess it depends on where u get it... IAS is of course a bit more expensive, but no shipping for me, and its pretty much guaranteed to be a good motor..... still waiting on info on Helms Manuals. Can u find them at the library?
<--cheap...just spent all my money on an engine

Re: I finally did it (vtecvoodoo)
I'm no newbie, I know exactly what I bought. There are reasons behind it. 1. I am in college and budget is a huge thing for me. 2. When i graduate, i plan to buy a b20 block build it up, swap the head and tranny over to have a good dedicated motor.
So i figure i started with a good base to get me through the next few years till i can afford to do everything that I really want to do. Not all of us have the hookups that a certain few members have.

Re: I finally did it (BigZ88)
In your case I would probably get the helms manual for the engine if you had to choose one. Since the cars are the same gen, they cant be that different except with engine.

Re: I finally did it (BigZ88)
No worries man, you can get the Helms manual for what you need, and you only have to buy one!
The Helms includes 96-00 Civics all trims. I actually have one...they're neato.
Spend the 65 bucks or whatever, I can bet the manual will be handy more than a few times in the future. (Especially if you deal with wiring.)

Re: I finally did it (piscorpio)
Buy a Helms manual for a 2000 Civic (It should include the Si as well as EX,DEX, etc...). That way you basically have details about your motor and details about the B16 you are buying as well. I am not 100% sure that the Si is included, but in the helms manual I have for my 1992 Civic it covers the Hatchback and Sedan (no coupes were offered in 92) and covers all motors that were available in 1992 Civics

Re: I finally did it (b16a ferio)
Guys, the Helms service manual for the 2000 Civic includes 1996-2000 year Civics, all trims, all models! I am not sure if you can actually buy a 2000 only Helms (the single Helms manual covers 96-00), I only remember seeing the one I got when I ordered.
