hey guys u just recently got a 88-91 civic hatch and i'm looking to put in a b18c . let's say i had the b18c engine,tranny,ecu and wire harness. what are the best motor mounts i could use? what would be the major mods i would have to make to the car or motor? should i use the b18c tranny or go for another tranny? what are my options? sorry for the sh*tload of questions. any help is appreciated. BTW its a b18c out of a 98+ up integra type-r

 

Don't steal the motor. You'll have to spend 800 to get it to work in the car anyway.

 

what do you mean?

You'll need hydro to cable conversion mounts, an OBD1 conversion for the motor, and an OBD1 conversion for your car. A new ecu, wiring for other junk, a custom exhaust setup, you have to make sure the car isn't too low, otherwise your header and oilpan will be toast...
etc. Kinda tough.

 

so what would be the best , most powerful motor that i can put in without giving me that much trouble

 

For any B series you will need a certain list of things to make it fit. B16 would be the easiest imo. Because:
you can keep it obd0
you can use a cable tranny.

The engine you have is not recommended to be run obd0 and you wouldn't want to lose that precious hydro tranny. therefore, you have to get a jumper harness from obd0 to obd1, and convert to hydro. Its a lot of work but thats the EF.
Im sure im missing stuff so feel free to add stuff.

 

he could also use the b18a1 from 90-91 integra thats obd0 and more tq then b16 just less top end hp . and hasport mount

 

wait a minute...so is my 90 crx OBD1 or OBD0?? im doing a b16a1 swap, and i was looking at OBD1-OBD0 adapters.

 

OBD0

 

so what's the best route i can take?

Get the hasport mount kit (for hydro tranny)
convert your car to whatever obd the motor is..I think the 98+ itr motor is obd2..I forget..

Plan on spending serious money for this swap..

 

For your wiring go to http://www.rywire.com
And i support the GSR conversion.
See http://www.droppedcrxsi.com for a good how-to and parts list.
He has had both the B16 and GSR, the GSR is so much fun. Lots of torque

haha correct.
BUY the motor from an importer or engine salvage don't take it out of a perfectly healthy car. Leave a little bit of the Integra for that dudes insurance company to resell after the recovery

 

Why did you quote my name saying that"Don't steal the motor. You'll have to spend 800 to get it to work in the car anyway"

..I didnt say that..Vashthestampede said that..
