Well, I swapped a b18a1 obd0 motor in my old EF. First of all, if it's not wired for MPFI, you'll need to wire it for MPFI. Second, you're going to need new motor mounts and shift linkage. Hasport sells them. Either that or ebay should have some. Next, you will either need to re-wire your harness or buy a obd0 to obd1 jumper harness. As I said before, Hasport will sell that too. (Notice how Hasport is becoming your new best friend?)

You are also going to have to cut the front motor mount bracket off of the front crossmember. You may also have to notch it where the exhaust manifold is going to sit, depending on which mounts you got.

Lastly, you are going to have to hammer out where the alternator pulley will sit, due to the bigger DOHC engine, or else the alternator pulley will rub on the fenderwell.

Good luck on the swap. My LS was quick as hell in my EF... damn I miss that car...

 

I did the same thing, i got the whole car. I just kept mine obd-0 because i didnt want to get the conversion harness. If you want to keep it obd-0 then just get a obd-0 ecu, and distributor. And use your engine harness if its a Si.

 

what axles to use?

 

match up any b series axles with the corresponding intermediate shaft. if you have the whole car just use the axles out of the integra. everything will plug up unless you have a HF CRX or a STD Civic. If this is the case you will have to purchase new knuckles and hubs but i think maybe just maybe you might be able to use the integra ones but you will have to do more research on that. look at this website it should walk you through the process. http://www.geocities.com/speed...p.htm
good luck take your time do it right and most of all have fun!

 

wow my eyes are shot now


is there any info on swapping a obd1 engine into a obd0 car&gt;

 

if you want to use everything get mount kits. use the si harness and then convert to OBD1 with a jumper and use 90-91 teg injectors so it can go with the resistor box from the civic. this should be the bulk of it.
