found a 1.8L out of a freshly wrecked 94 integra. would like to put it in one of my 95 honda civics.i have the acura at my house. is it worth the swap? the honda has a 1.6 v-tec that is just beat up.

 

Yeah its worth it...especially if you have the motor just sitting around.

 

some people say that you shouldnt put a motor in that is older than the car. but if you want to

 

Thast because it will make it illegal in some states.... but a 94 isnt much older than a 95 hehe...

 

both obd1

Something to the effect of illegal to sell, but okay to keep. Not sure on that but its what I heard.

The B18b swap is a ride, you'll love it. Friend did the A swap, took a while, but he also had one advantage that you also have: a parts car. This will make the swap go much faster, pretty much the only thing you'll need to buy/make is motor mounts and a little adjustment on shift linkage.

Good luck, and let us know how it goes if you do the swap!

Huh?? yeah there both OBDI but some states say its illegal all together to have a different year engine in your car. There isnt any way to prove here in Central NY but down near the City they have emssions and crap...

 

i live in washington state on the coast, and it does not matter what you do to your car as long as you keep a paper trail for title reasons. i am starting the swap on monday. the only prob, is finding a good price on a used 5 speed tranny, because the acura is an autocrapic...ha ha...

 

was your 1.6l a b16?? if so. use that tranny.
