i got my 97 ex w/ 92,000 miles. for 5000 and everything on this car is damn good. execpt for the wiring problem and my accedent i got into (bumper was torn off) but how hard would it be to do the manual conversion on it? its an automatic which really bites. should i do it myself or get it done at a shop. im going to throw a b16 or if i have the money a b18 when i get it done. sorry if my question is to plain. just want to know the estimate on price or hours ima throw in doing manual labor

If you are going to swap to a b series wait until then to do the auto to manual conversion stuff. The motor will be out of the car and you'll have more room to do the stuff you need to do. Plus you won't be buying d series parts that you will just be ripping out later on.

what about cutting into the firewall? do i need to run anything? about the most experiance i have was takin apart an integra and replacing the tranny. never done a conversion.

youll need to cut some of the floor out of the shifter out of the way, you'll need to drill out the spot welds on the mount and reweld it lower


k 20 swap looking better and better huh?

as far as chasis prep goes thats all thats required for the k20 lmao, and the b series is also 2500-4500 dollar swap, save a few more grand lol

keep in mind as of right this second we are ignoring, dropping the motor in and bolting the other mounts and some wiring, and the ecu for you ricers out there lmao

expletive that ****. ima sell this car and just look for an si. lol. jk. and that k20 swap would be nice. i dont think i could pull that much out of my *** atm. i wish i could **** bricks of gold. then id be in business

Team RS2

oh wait iddint see you were going to get this done at a shop lol, ummmmmm you check out those new 07 si's???? might be better off for ya lmao

lol i was condiering tradeing in my 1993 coupe ex turbo for one, haha the dealership had one of the tuner mechanics from the motorsports company come out

(out here its called DCH honda, DCH acura etc all the way to DCH kia, and they have a DCH MOTORSPORTS which maily deals with the evos and sti's from the mitsu and subaru dealers but the appraised me car lmao 6 grand for it trade in )

cycoclown

yeah i checked them. i dont really like the body style of them but ****. its a sweet car.

Team RS2

lol its better than a new guy to the scene paying some mechanic over 20 grand to drop in a k20 into an automatic 10 year old civic, the swaps and tuning is mostly for the do it yourself guys who are dedicated, most the succsseful guys in the scene are actually mechanics if you look at it, not trying to steer you away from he scene but yea

if you cant figure out a head swap you arent really suited for the scene no offense
