Check with Archidictus on Honda-Tech. He lives out there but beware he might be too good for you.

it will be a complete swap. my tired d16a6 is at 240k miles. and i thought it would be cool to throw a b16 under the hood to last me throughout the rest of college, 3yrs.

is there alot involved in this swap?

All publicity is good publicity .

I live in Wooster when I'm at college and Columbus when I'm not. The B16 swap shouldn't be much trouble if you're using the same OBD as your stocker. You'll have to run, I think, 4 wires and maybe massage the driver's side fender well a lil bit to clear the alternator.

Aside from that advice, I'm going to ask a moderator to move this to the "EF" forum since your car is an EF and not an EG+. I'm sure they know more about this swap than most of us (even though a lot of us have done it) simply because they have the cars.

for a first time swap it would prolly take you a weekend. once you have done 2 or 3 swaps, you should be able to do one in about 4 - 5 hours.. it's really not that hard.

Just a suggestion but check with the people over at Ohiohondas.com, they may have more ideas of where to take your car.

yikes.... crime capital of the USA a few years ago, maybe still now lol... have any engines stolen when you do that? I hope you don't do it locally. I forget how many times my brother got mugged there in college... too many to count.
