Default B18B into 93 Del sol .. a few questions for those who have done it!

I am not running A/C and need the front motor/AC mount.. can use ANY B series mount?

I can use Integra LS Linkage?

Got the LS Axles with the swap.. but the one end of the axle does not have the pin (5" gear thing that sticks into tranny).. where can I get one of these? It is female right now..

Thanks!!

Any EG mounts will work if i am correct.

As far as linkage i'll say you need Del Sol VTEC linkage.

Anyone else correct me if needed????

yes, need dohc vtec sol linkage, I've tried to use 94-01 teggie and 90-93 teggie linkage to no success. I used INLINEFOUR.COM for the linkage. Nice guys. Oh yeah I think you'll have to re wire the ground and power source (swap the two) wires on the map. If you don't you will have a solid cel and the ecu will run in limp mode. not too ultra custom let me tell you. I am using the d16z6 wiring harness, the ls harness might be different.

If i remember correctly you need to switch 2 wires on the map sensor. the outter two. just cut and crimp. anyone correct me if I'm wrong. and you'll have to extend the wire for the o2 sensor. as for ac if you want it you need the a/c bracket from a dohc vtec del sol. I'll let you know for sure on the map sensor hopefully this weekend. I'll be getting my ecu today. everything else is already in my car

If you're not using A/C then you can use any hydro B series A/C mount as the dampening mount.

No, you MUST use the Del Sol VTEC B series shift linkage.

Not sure what you're talking about there. There is no need to change the MAP wiring, you don't want to do that. I think you might be confusing the EF chassis DPFI to MPFI swap wiring where you reverse the outer TPS wires. Besides even if you did there's no need to cut wires when you can simply unpin them and then put them back into another location, much cleaner that way.

I'm switching the map sensor wires b/c if you look at the wiring diagram for a 94 ls and a 93 del sol si you'll se the ground and pos. feed wires are different. exact opposite of one another. check it out for your self, if you see something i don't please clue me in.
