I am real close at getting my hands on a B16A longblock.

As far as I know right now, to do the swap, i need the following stuff right off the bat:

B-series trans
B16A ECU (any aftermarket support here? can i use USDM B16A1 ECU?)
Axles
motor mount kit
wiring kit
exhaust

what else should i expect to have to put into this to make it run? how long will the swap take to do? i've worked on honda engines (i also have a GSR), but have never done a swap like this. Does the fact that it's a JDM motor make this swap even harder/more expensive? Any info you guys might have would be great.

p30 - obd ecu. The knock sensor for 1st gen is fucked up.

Very easy swap, do you have a CX, Vx - vx is prewired.

Give the motor a tune up BEFORE install.

B16 into a 94 Si will be drop right in. And all you need to wire up is Knock sensor to D3 and clip in a P30 ecu and you are done.

sorry, i'm not to familiar with some of your terms used. i know what the knock sensor is, but what do you mean by "do you have a CX, Vx - vx is prewired."?

I'm planning on going through the entire motor and give it a good leak down/pressure test before I even start getting everthing else for it.

Also, i'm going to have a bunch of stuff of my integ i think i can use. mainly the transmission. (i'm going with an Si tranny with Quaife in my integ) i'm going to go with an AEM EMS system, so will I be able to use my B18 ECU on this B16? I've heard about people doing this to trick the car into thinking it has more power or something like that... my Integra is a 95 GSR if you were wondering so i think that makes it an OBDI?? anyways... i'll be picking the motor up later this week.

cx and vx are models of a civic (like a dx or lx).
Your engine will drop rite in, like others have said just wire the vtec and your gs-r ecu (same ecu i'm using) will plug rite in.You can use your stock mounts but integra mounts are recomended,(i have also opted to use the integra mounts) no mount kit required.the jdm and usdm engines are the same (swap wise) and you can also use a obd1 del sol vtec ecu (came with a b16a3) or 93-95 gs-r.i recomend using an ecu that will run the knock sensor because a reprogramed p-28 will not run a knock sensor...

He said 94 Si on the title of the thread. You already have 4 wire o2 sensor, and vtec wires, only thing you will need to do from modifying your existing engine harness from the D16Z6 (your stock motor) to the B16 is switching the fuel injector harnesses, and adding Knocksensor.

so he doesnt need integra motor mounts to put a b series into his hatch, im confused

oops i totally looked over the fact that it was a si.
From what i hear some peole just use the civic mounts, i personally wouldn't go that route, i used integra mounts....

Poison-
What if you have cx with one oxgen sensor wire? How do you wire up the four wire? Thanx
