b16a1 into 92 civic
I just finished putting a jdm b16a1 (cable tranny) into a 92 civic dx. Took roughly 2 months but everything works perfectly. It was $1800 for engine, tranny, ecu, vtec subharness, new hasport mounts, hasport cable-hydro conversion kit, axles, and shift linkage. I bought it as a package deal and i think i got a decent price on the whole thing. Put in cm stage2 clutch, dc sport header, aem intake, skunk2 full exhaust, kyb agx gas adjustable shocks, skunk2 coilovers, skunk2 camber kit, mugen strut bar (in shipping). Needless to say it does me justice. The toughest part of the swap was bleeding the damn hydro clutch line because i had to remount it in a diff place and the bleader valve on the slave cylinder had air in it even after bleading. I swear i put like a gallon of brake fluid through that line trying to get the air out. So finally i called hasport and they told me whats up, I had to turn the cylinder upside down, made sense and it worked. Anyway, just curious if there is a necessarily the next best thing i can do to this, i was thinking have some ecu work done by spoon, but i was wondering if i should get some stuff done before that? Also, im helping my friend put a b16 into a 90 civic dx, he has a "spoon" ecu, where vtec kicks in at 45 and revs to 92, just curious if he needs to get anything like injectors, fuel pump, intake, etc, or can he just use the ecu on the stock motor? I'll throw some pics up on the site if but i cant figure out how to put them on (i know there is an image button but it doesnt let me pick my pics)???

Tell your friend that he shouldn't be going to 9200 on a stock B16 or he'll do alot of damage. Factory is set at 8200 for a reason, the valvetrain can't handle it.
