I have this exstra B16 in my garage.. and just bought my winter car..
And the thought hit me.. cheap car.. exstra engine.. can I make this work?? and has it been done before??





M. Nielsen,

yes not too terriblyhard if you are patient. weld up some mounts and wire up teh fuel injection.
i just did an auto d16a1 into a 1979civic wagon over the summer, we didnt use our b series swap since we had a 1500lb crx for it.

I've been also thinking of the same thing. My ex "left" me hers and I've had it in my parents extra garage for 2 years. Thought of just selling it but, with winter here I wouldn't mind having a winter beater.

I've seen pics of a B18C in one, although that'd be $$$$ to do.

What is the body/engine code for the 82 civic?

SOHC_DK.

Ill just check the code when I get home.. think its something like ASL or SL..

But what about axels?? can I use EG/EK B-series axels??
transmission would just be an old 1st. gen B16. cable..

My worry is if you have to cut in the frame..
If it is as easy as just weld new mountings on.. Then I would not be afraid of starting the projekt...

Weird I thought it was something else.

I've seen a second gen w/ an LS automatic on Nitrous. The guy just fabbed his own mounts and it didn't look to complicated. I beleive he used the entire harness (interior/engine) from a wrecked teg as well.

Damn, I've looked everywhere and no one has pics of an install or any information at all. I just think it would be a fun side project. I need a daily driver.

RuskeR

I'm curious as to what you do for the shift linkage and axles. I'm assuming custom axles need to be bought.

Evs-One

custom axles and shift linkage for sure. also a wiring nightmare.

Blanket Jackson

It would be cool if you finished it, but I give you 6 months til you hit the wiring and fuel problems. You'll give up there for sure.

OT, but man that's a clean civic

RuskeR

Well, silver cars normally do look clean all the time. Especially, on overcast days. Looks good though.

that would be a sick swap, and i'd love to see this happen..im sure with time and money you can do it.

RuskeR

Well with time and money ANY swap is possible.

Nice picture.. what axles did you use, and what about the Brake booster thing or whatever you call it?? how did you make that work???

RuskeR

anymore info/pics on this swap?

FunkDaddyFresh

Teh w1n. i hope you do this.. Ive seen some random pics from HIN in random mags with this swap.

How hard would it be to convert the car from a carb. to fuel injection?

RuskeR

Found a great website with info on the 2nd gen civic.. swapping, trouble-shooting, etc...
