Hi..I have decided to put a B16a2 into my 96 Civic Dx..I am in desperate need of what I need to purchase to make this work...Like a parts list..If someone has done this before and bought the parts to do it..I beg you please list them for me so I can make sure I order everything so I can get the motor and Drop it in..I am so confused with all the posts that I have read..I wish someone would just email me or post in this topic..I want to be able to go out and order everything that way I can do it right the first time...Here is what I have come up with so far...
B16a2 engine swap
Rear mount from a 99-00 Si
Axles--But which model axles???
Odb2 to Odb1 harness for the Ecu

After that I draw a blank...Someone please help me..I have searched for hours...
I have a digital camera when it comes time to do this I will post pictures..I just need someone that has done it before to give me some guidance..Don't want to beg, But I am..Thanks in advance...David

I would get a 96-98 ex harness instead since its obd2a like the car is, the 99-00 is obd2b

Ok the the info you guys are giving me is what I am looking for..Just to make sure that all this will work with the engine I am looking at..A Jdm 92-95 B16 with the Hydro tranny..Everything you guys have told me will work with this engine setup...Right..I Forgot all about the 96-98 Ex Engine harness. It should be plug and play right...Keep the info coming I am like a sponge..Soaking it in...

Click the EK Swap link in my sig.... It's also in the Engine swap guide that is stickied in this forum

If you need the VTEC subharness let me know I have the cheapest around

Well right now I am looking for a 96-98 Honda Civic ex engine wiring harness..That is gonna be the first part I am gonna purchase..Tell me what your harness can do for my particular swap and I will buy one from ya...Post me some particulars...Thanks

Trey

I paid $100 for my EX harness. I doubt he can beat that.

Not quite.
You wont need to wire up the vtec solenoid, vtec oil pressure switch, or knock senoser,
but
you will need to adapt the wiring harness to fit the obd1 motor. This will include changing the plugs for the distributor, injectors, and alternator.

So you mean I will have to use the plugs that come with my motor swap..Plugs for the Distributor, Injectors and alternator..The Female ends..Those are the only 3??? That dosen't sound that hard..Anything else I need to be aware of..Man thanks for the input..

Slopoke

Yeah, thats what I mean.
Those are the only 3 I can think of, if your using the ex harness.

Trey, I´ve clicked on the guide you said but the pictures are missing, is there any way you can make a new post with those pictures it'll be very useful for me, since I'm intalling a B16A2 from a '99 civic si into a '96 Civic hatchback with a D16Y7 motor.
Thanks
