I kno there is ALOT of info out there.... but most of it is for newer B series motors (with vtec)

So can someone help me out with the best page/info for putting a b18a1 (non vtec from a 92 ls) into a 95 civic ex that had vtec

Thanks guys


AND Do any of you guys kno where to get cheap rebuild kits for B series ??

you will install the engine as you would any other engine, you will just omit the VTEC part of it. you will need to get a b18b obd1 harness or make your stock ex harness work (which is the heasiest thing to do unless you can find a harness for cheap)

I've searched for an hour and haven't found what i was looking for.

Im looking for info for swapping a b18a1 (obd1) into a 95 civic with a d16z6 (obd1).

What i know....
B18a1 tranny is a cable tranny vs. the d16 hydro tranny.
So i either buy a newer ls hydro tranny, or buy a kit to convert it.

What im not sure of:

Will the b18a1 axels work or are they too long? If so, what axels should i buy.

What mounts do i use on the b18a1 to install into my 95 civic? I have all the mounts from both motors.

WIRING- I have both the b18a1 (92 LS) and the stock d16z6 harness from my car. Im wondering how much of my stock d series harness will work with the B series motor.

Im going to be swapping this motor in the next couple of days so help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Axles should work...Im using GSR ones on my car...Wiring shouldnt be that big of an issue since you are staying within the OBD...You are right about the cable tranny to hydro...Mounts...Im not too sure how similar that year integra chasis is to the EG...

I'm doing the same swap my self, your 92 ls axels will work as long as you are using the 92 ls intermediate shaft, howerver your 92 integra engine mounts nor brackets will interchange you need a 94+integrac driver side upper engine mount, lower front a/c bracket/mont (use your civic mount here integra will not work), and 94+rear engine mountbracket(use civic mount here too) however on my 91 ls tranny I cannot use my lower front passenger s tranny mount b/c I have no where to bolt it, I'm not sure if 92 is different but if any one knows please let me know.
To make my swap easier I used the intake, dizzy, and ecu from a 94 integra and
I did not have to re-arrange any of the vaccume lines, sensors, or coolant lines. it was entirely bolt in. It was around $300 more but was well worth not having the extra head ache

I have a question on the wiring, his engine as well as mine is obd1, I'm using the d16z6 from my del slow wiring harness and I want to know if it's ok for me to just leave the 2 vtec plugs hanging or do I have to do something with them?
