Ok, I drive an auto civic hatch. I know, its not the best platform to work with, but its what I have and im not planning to convert - in fact, I like the auto. It's very reliable, its drivable by anyone in my family, and its easy to sell when it comes time to do so. I'm very familiar with manual transmissions, drove one for years, and know the ease in doing a swap with a manual tranny, but its not going to happen this time.

My question for you guys is this:

One of my good friends here tried to install an engine into an EK, but had some trouble with it as it would not shift. I'm a little worried that there is something restrictive that won't allow swaps, but im sure someone has gotten around it.

Here's the planned setup:

OBDII B20b CRV motor
JDM automatic B16a2 or GS-R transmission
Integra RS/LS (non-vtec) ECU

Can anyone tell me why this swap WOULDN'T work? Or if I should know something before I start? Thanks in advance.

 

come on guys...someone has to know something!

 

I really dont see how it would not work. It should all bolt up fine. You may run into some issues in the wiring, just make sure the auto tranny you choose works with those ecu's and you should be good.

 

Something about the TCS sensor not shifting the transmissions in an auto?

 

I am not to familiar with the auto transmissions but I would assume that honda uses similar sensors with all there transmissions, and that you would need to use a auto ecu to make it shift.

 

You should be able to do it, but it would be ubergay.
