ok its prolly been threded before but i cant seem to find the info i need..

my buddy totaled his obd-2 LS, from the rear and i came up on the entire swap from
the engine bay..

..engine tranny, but not the LS mounts he sold those to another friend.

..harness, ECU

..LS shift linkage

.. and Axles but ther kinda beat up ima replace them..

But the question i ask is what exatly do i need to get this OBD-2 LS into my 96 EK hatch (cx)?

can i use tha LS harness..?
what kind of mounts do i need?
i heard i need a 99-00 si b16 rear bracket..but ive been getting alot of conflicting answers.
Linkage?? can i use tha LS linkage..
wiring mods???? ETC... PLZ help a brotha out

no youll need a civic harness, integra harness dont work because they are a 2 peice
either a hasport,avid or some other swap mounts, or civic si,
YES you need a si rear bracket. no others will work,.
yep you need a b series linkage, del sol will not work.
depending on if its ob2a or b,, but your harness should be pretty much plug and play, you may need a jumper harness for the ecu, and to extend some things.

what kind of B series linkage?? off of what??
and like i seen some mount kits off hasport and inoative and they come with a
"rear trans braket" can i use this insted of the 99 si rear bracket??
or is this some completly diff>>??

jumper harness??? but my cars obd-2 and so is the ECU and engine??

u need rear si t bracket and engine post mount bracket that bolts to block by timing belt u can use your stock ek mounts use your stock harness everything from the acura u can use linkage also

jasoncrashtech

use the original harness off your car, use the tranny mount on top of your d series tranny and install it on your b series tranny, the rear t mount is needed from an em1, the mount on the timing assembly will need to be swapped out entirely. you'll need all si mounts (three pieces) and idler mounts (one on the side of tranny and the ac mount will all need to be b series obd1-2 doesn't matter on those ones) ls , gsr , gs shift linkage is same part number will work. wiring will depend on your trim model but should be very simple

WTF is a "idler mount" ?!? and the trim model of my wiring harness?!?

... im hella confused. i always get conflicting info on this SUB..

ok i get the 99si b16 rear T-braket.. but Avid mounts has this kit with a
"rear trans braket".......heres the link

Can i use this insted of the 99si rear T-braket?? i asked the seller on ebay and he dnt reply..

Also... so i can use the 97 acura LS shift linkage??
a buddy told me that i culdnt but iyd rather get other opinions.

EJ1 LS guy

Im pretty sure on this but someone correct me if im wrong....

You can use everything from the integra except the wire harness.
(Longblock)
(Tranny)
(Headers/downpipe)
(Intake manifold)
(Shift linkage)
(Ecu) might need a jumper harness
(Axles)
Goodluck on your swap...
