If you get a jumper harness then yes you could use the 97 ECU.

just to add a tip...if u guys dont wanna run ugly lookn wires all the way to the tranny for the reverse lights u can find those same wires on the 14 pin engine harness plug on the driverside..if yur usdm that is...reason i did this is because i did a wire-tuck harness and didnt wana place any more wires in the bay..its #12 (yellow) and # 13 (green/black) on the plug..


btw this is for a eg/dc..not sure if its different for 96-00 civic chassis but shouldn't be..

Luserkid

^Good info, but yea it will not work for 96-00 because they have no plug on the driver tower for the motor.

Very Nice Post We Need More Like it

The pics need to be hosted with a different server, as they are not showing.

About to do this on a 98 EX I'm picking up. Good to have some hindsight on the situation

Luserkid

Photobucket said it will be down until the 14th.

Great write up

Do you need any of the other parts in this picture like numbers 6,7,8,9,16,17,15? This is for a 98 DX Im doing a H2B swap.


Also I want to make sure I have B series linkage can you guys tell me if I do? Heres some pics.

Luserkid

6- optional, 7 - Optional, 8 - Yes It goes with 18, 9 - Yes, they hold the rubber garmet in place, 16 - Yes, holds the linkage in place, 17 - Yes for the garmet, 15 - Yes, that should be on the transmission.

boots89

ok, thanks I will oder the stuff tommorow. Also can you tell in the pics if they are B series linkage of not the right ones?

justinCO

Yea nice write up, wow.

Luserkid

It looks like a B series but i need to see the bushing from this picture. Is it a big hole (like you could stick your thumb or 2 fingers in) or is it a small hole (like only a pinky barely fits)



Big hole = B series, small hole = D

Mr_Midori

Great Thread. One of the easiest-to-follow writeups that I've had the pleasure of reading! But I'm still a little confused about one thing... If doing a GSR Swap at the same time, does the IACV rewiring also hookup the secondary butterflies for the new motor? Or do I still need to run that wire seperately? Thanks...

Nice

The first page had so many pics my computer caught on fire. 56k FTL

Luserkid

IAB take a ground and IAC take a power source. So no you cant combine the 2. Run them seperate.

Hey, thanks for a quick reply! But for the secondary butterflies to even work in a civic, the IACV rewiring has to be done so that the ECU "sees" the IAC signal, right?

Luserkid

IAC and IAB are nothing to do with each other. I think your getting confused because of the "IA" in there names. But its Idle, Air Control Vavle and Intake Air Bypass Valve. Really they have nothing to do with each other.

IAC = controls idle
IAB = opens secondary for more hp in mid to top RPM range, while giving more torque to low range power.

If that doesnt help feel free to PM me and i could try to explain it a little better. But just remember they have nothing to do with each other. No IAC - IAB will work, no IAB - IAC will work as long as there hooked up correctly.

EKIM NART

if i'm swapping a auto single cam with a manual single cam will i still need to do the iacv wire rewire? the auto is a 98 EX an the manual is EX.

Luserkid

What engine harness and ecu you plan on running?

Auto harness with manual ecu = yes
Auto harness with auto ecu = no (dumb to do)
manual harness with manual ecu = no
manual harness with auto ecu = Yes but you need to do it backwards (which is dumb)

EKIM NART

manual engine harness with stock manual ECU. appreciate the quick answers man.

EkFG

Great info. I was going to do this but instead i traded my car for a EK wit type R swap, can't say no to that

angelp

somebody answer this please

i see that my auto tranny has 2 hose coming from the radiator but my manual tranny i only see one hole? what happen to the second one?





how do i solve this?

Luserkid

Auto trans has trans coolers. Manual trans do not. That hole on the manual is for the 3rd bolt for the bracket.
