Vtec GSR95

I am considering buying a swap from a guy. He has a B16A3 engine, trans, intake manifold, exhaust manifold, harness, and intermediate shaft, distributor, VTEC soldenoid, fuel rail, etc. but no accessories or mounts, no shift linkage, or axles..

I am wondering what do I need to complete the swap? Help with this list!!!

1. axles
2. 04-01 Integra shift linkage??
3. del sol VTEC a/c bracket?
4. P30 ecu?


I am wondering about accessories.....and their corresponding brackets?
Does any of the D-series items work?
Which B-series mounts to I need and from which vehicle??
Is it true I have to use an integra shift linkage?


I have been searching in case anyone is wondering! Thanks for any help!

-->B-Series Axles - all the same
--> Del Sol VTEC linkage
--> B-Series brackets are all the same, although the compressor is different than a D-series one, plus the hoses are shaped differently
Thats the factory ECU for that motor, or you could run a chipped P28 etc.... depends if the stock knock sensor is still there, you actually want to use it, and you have wiring for it. As far as I can recall, you car doesn't....

For some reason I highly doubt you have done any real investigation, your lucky I'm bored.

the d-series accessories are for d-series units, a bolt here, the slider for the alternator tensioner there etc etc, will work. You can even monkey around with angle iron and make your own if your crafty. But honestly, just get the B-series ones, go to a scrap yard.

Buy Sol mounts and a Sol linkage. Done

Not all b series axles are the same... I know for a fact... Maybe all usdm ones are the same.

Thanks for the info BigJ5.....and YES, I have done some research! I had been googling all afternoon before posting this thread! I have also done 2 GSR swaps into an EG civic, but it was almost ten years ago and I have slept a LOT since then!

I am still contemplating actually doing the swap.....we will see. I just thought if I could get a good deal on the swap I might do it, but all the missing items are going to nickel and dime me a lot!!

Nope. '90 - '93 integra cable axles and intermediate shaft are different than '94- '01 integra hydro axles and intermediate shaft. Buy the axles based on what you have for an intermediate shaft. '98+ JDM ITR axles are also different btw, the outer joint is 36mm.

No. The only thing the Del Sol linkage fits is the Del Sol. Use a '94 - '01 or '99 - '00 Civic Si linkage.

BigJ5

Do you honestly think he is going to go to a yard and find an unmolested jap Type-R with axles... give your head a shake....

the civic SI (SiR here) linkages are different than the teggy's, I know those do not fit. I have used a sol's linkage on an eg hatch.

unlikely, but possible, I was more concerned with the cable axles, I just threw the JDM ITR bit in there for the sake of completion. I occasionally hear about guys picking up complete 5 lug swaps with wheels for $300, no such luck for me though.

The SiR linkage very definately fits an EG (i've personally done it before) Del Sol Vtec linkages only fit Del Sols, they are longer IIRC.

BigJ5

hmmm, I have both linkages at my shop. If I have time I'll check this weekend.

300 for a 5 lug, they must be a hell of a lot more common where you are than over here. 700 - 1200 cdn is usually what they run. Must be all those quebecois ricers next door to you, lol

94EG8

Yeah I hardly ever get any wicked deals either, IIRC correctly guys getting $300 5 lug setups in junkyards were in CA, theft recovery I believe. I've seen the ricers in quebec btw, its something else. I went to riviere de loop this summer with a friend to pick up a '92 JDM SiR hatch from an importer, it was an expirence i'll never forget.

so did you guys determine which linkage work yet?

92civiceg9gsr

94-01 integra linkage. Not a 99-00 si it works but doesnt fit as good as the integra linkage.

Vtec GSR95

94-01 ALL Integras OR ONLY GSR??

94EG8

All '94 - '01 Integras
