ok, just talked to the guy swapping the engine into my car. i have a 93 dx civic coupe. the engine im wanting to put in is a 2nd generation jspec b16a. the mechanic told me that there is nothing compatible from my old engine to my new one, and that i would have to buy new everything to get this swap to work and that it would be really expensive. is there something im missing here, i heard this was a fairly simple swap? i need help as soon as possible, thanks.

 

b16a swap is very simple.

you will need the P30 ECU (computer), the stock B16A axles as well as the tranny that comes with the b16a.

you will need to add vtec wires and knock sensor then you're set

 

your mechanic is an idiot.
i think you need to take it to a shop to have done by somebody who knows how to swap a honda motor.

 

so theres do i need to swap out fuel injectors or anything? cause he got this information from someone who has done them before, an the guy swears its hard...but ive heard the exact opposite from everyone. does anyone here have a sn on aol or aim? if u do itd be great if i could ask u a few questions, thanks.

 

Hundreds of members here have done it in their own garage, many for their first time. You do not need to swap injectors, the B16A motor will come with 'em. Give the engine a tune-up before you swap. You'll also need a shift linkage, integra linkage will work.

 

sorry i didnt answer you on aim, i wasnt paying attention to the computer.
but yes its VERY EASY. i did my swap without any prior experience other than an oil change or 2.

 

b16a into any civic from 88 and up is one of the most easiest swaps in the car world. reason why hybrids are so popular. your mechanic is really an idiot. ahaha. is your car auto or manuel? cuz if u have auto then u gonna need new axles, spindles, pedal tree, etc

 

yea dont worry about it, i appreciate all the help from everyone though. its probably a good thing i didnt let this guy do it. anyways, thanks again for all the help from everyone.

 

nah, mines manual. sorry to bring this thread back, but i forgot to ask something. the mechanic today also told me i had to get all jdm wires, and that im going to have to rebuild the whole engine to get it to work with my car. any of this true? do i need to buy new "jdm wiring" and all that?

 

i think your mechanic is trying to rip you off or something
