JDM B16A engine swap guide for 96-98 Civic DX hatchback
I'm looking for a guide on how to swap the JDM B16A motor into a 96-98 Civic DX hatchback. I've tried searching for this information, but unable to find it. Does anyone know if there's a complete guide for swapping this motor? I'd like to know what I'm going up against.
Additional questions include:
1. Should I be looking at the B16A SiRII for this swap?
-I've seen places that sell the B16A2 and B16A3 motor, what's the difference?
2. Places that offer a 'complete swap' typically include the following:
Engine (Complete head & block)
- Intake manifold
- Exhaust manifold
- Harness (cut in 1/2 at the firewall)
- Distributor
- Alternator
- Vtec solenoid
Transmission (Hydro)
ECU
Is this all I need?
3. Additional parts - Do I need to buy any additional parts for the swap? (ex. new exhaust or shift linkage?)
4. Motor mounts - Do I need to replace/modify the motor mounts?
5. Where to buy - Anyone have any experiences to share about buying a motor online? (good or bad)
-Looking for some recommendations for a place to order from that has a good reputation.
Thanks!
