ok, I will have the axles from Hasport, ac bracket from hcp, rewiring of the harness from a local shop, and a mount kit from Ebay. Can someone tell me what else I should get out of the way. I will be buying the motor at the end of the year unfortinately but until then I wanted to get everything I needed to do the swap. Oh yeah, also which motor would be better for my 98 hatch, an obd1 or obd2? And does the obd2 come with lsd? Thanx for any help.

 

What radiator do you have? You will want a dual core radiator.

As for the engine, I would get an OBD2 h22. Much easier to swap in and you don't have to deal with emissions stuff.

 

Is there a obd2 with lsd? Also Ive heard alot of people use the stock radiator with no probs.

yeah but depends on the weather. I've seen it too.

I'm sure there is obd2 with lsd. The lsd tranny mainly is the M2B4 tranny. I'd just see about getting that.

 

So you think that will be pretty much it thats needed, am i forgetting anything else?

 

The full swap of course, ECU, shifter cables, shifter assembly.

 

Did you hook yours up yourself?

I did the whole thing.

 

Sweet, how long did it take and where you impressed?

I have been running the stock 1997 civic ex radiator for two plus years now with my H22 and AC, no problems overheating ever. But I'm sure it would be a nice upgrade, but definately not neccesarry.
