Default Civic to b18 auto

I have a 93 civic DX automatic

I also have a 94 integra LS motor and automatic transmisson

The Question is: Will the motor and tranny bolt up? And will the wiring harness

plug up to the transmission with an LS aotumatic ECU?

Has anyone ever done this swap? I might as well convert the car to MT if there is transmission wiring involved.

if you're planning to really go fast... keep the auto. just do some work to it. NOBODY can shift faster than a computer.

Bump for the same exact situation i'm in right now ...

Auto Mini-Me to Auto B18a1 ....

I know to do the swap you'd need 94-01 motor mounts ..

Wiring up the TCM will be time consuming. Also, you will have notch the passenger side or bang back to make room for the auto tranny on the b18 since it's bigger. it's been discussed before.

Your tranny and the B series motor will not fit together. You need a B series tranny, I'd recommend getting the LS tranny to go with the LS motor. If you have a GS-R or Type-R tranny, you will have very high revs at cruising speed.
Something like 3000 at 60 for GS-R and close to 3500 at 60 with a Type-R tranny. Trannies are made to match up with the engine. However using one of those trannies will give you faster acceleration, but less of a max for each gear.


GS-R's were never made with an auto.

GSR's were offered in an automatic but only in Japan.
There is such a thing. I had it sitting at my shop.

Dude not to be rude but aparently you do not know to much about cars so ill save you the trouble. No it will not bolt directly right up you need new motor mounts and deopending on if you want to keep you a/c and power steering you may need to do some engine bay modifications. No everything will not plug up you need at least a different ecu and im not to sure if you need any rewiring. Just remember if your putting in a bigger motor **** aint easy and if you dont know what your doin get professsional help

I know they were offered in Japan. The Type-R even came in a sedan in Japan. I assumed we were discussing being able to get this stuff for cheap and not importing.
