If i was to put put a 91 ls in a 92-95 civic what would be involved the wiring. and would it be worth it? I only paid 500 dollars for the whole swap, and it came with aftermarket cam gears, header and intake, its got around 90,000 miles on it.

edited his post about 92-95 being obd2

first off your 92-95 hatch back is a obd1 not obd2,that ls motor has a cable transmission? cause if it does that wont work because your car is hydro,so you would need to locate a b series hydro tranny for this engine....

90-93 use a cable transmission,94-01 use hydro on LS engine/models

ya i realised this thats why edited it. and the engine does have 90k on it i have the car with it, i got it at an auction the car was trashed, broken rear window, water damage, ect.

dsrconcepts

so all i need is a cable transmission, well beside mounts, ect. can i use any b series cable tranny?

jdm civic 2000

your car is 92-95 civic ,it uses a hydrolic transmission system,the engine you have is a 91 ls w/ a cable tranny,so you need to find a hydro b-series tranny,any bseries will work as lon as its a hydrolic type....mounts needed is a rear dohc del-sol mount,and shift lingage for any future q's

u can use a cable tranny....but u need to get a conversion kit/mount from hasport or some other company

if thats the way he wants to go then thats his desicion,but imo they suck,and are tricky to assemble,if your a noob

speedfreek128

since its a non-vtec engine u can use your current wire harness.....you will have to get a thermostat housing and fan switch from a 92+ B series though since the switch is by the oil pressure sender on 90-91

Question, the only mount i need is the rear dohc delsol and delsol shift link?

dsrconcepts

ok if i could get a list of parts needed or a good web site to go too then we can end this.

Since the 1990-1993 Integras use cable transmission you won't be able to plug and play the motor and transmission. HasPort offers a kit to bolt into the 1992-1995 Honda Civic platform. The 1992-1995 Honda Civic platform utilizes a hydraulic transmission so a conversion kit can be bought through HasPort.

Here is the kit:

Here are the instructions:

If you or someone you know can manage that install, go ahead.

In my opinion, go ahead and sell the cable transmission to the older 1993 or older Integra crowd and cough up a little bit more money and get yourself a 1994+ Integra transmission since those are hydraulic. Then, it'll be easier to install an no need for extra headaches.

a 91 LS motor is obd0 and the eg civic is obd1. I have heard you have to swich the distributor and the fuel injectors and stuff if you want to frun it in an obd1 car. also locating a hydro tranny will be much easier if you ask me.

you need all 94 and up Integra manuel mounts. The only civic SOHC mount you can use is the one on top of the tranny. I would sell the cable tranny and look for a hydro tranny, and good luck with that cause its not easy to find a good one for cheap.

This is not true. You can use the Civic rear mount if you want as long as you use the integra mount bracket.
