All right, I need your brains. For the past 2 months my ek civic shell has been sitting in my backyard. I bought a da gsr integra that was totaled and am wanting to put the b17 in my ek. Ive already bought an si rear mount, and this guy i know is making the wiring harness i'm gonna need, and i just ordered the hydro-cable conversion im gonna need for the using the ys1 tranny.

So my question is, do you guys know of anything else im gonna need for the swap? im getting impatient and i know this is my first mistake, but im anxious. im not planning on using my a.c. or power steering. my daily driver is an 88 izuzu with no ac and p.s., and damn is that **** fast...
oh ****. also i'd like to use the radiator from the gsr... ??


anywho. thanks for reading. any comments or questions would be appreciated.
thanks.

hahaha, obd0? b17s are obd1 dude. Where do you get your info from? anyways, i suggest selling the cable tranny and get a hydro b16. Since short geared cable trannys are harder to find, you can make a decent profit on it, and less headache when swapping in a hydro tranny.

 

i agree i highly reccomend selling the cable tranny..especially if it is b17 gsr tranny...thats super rare you can get @ least 500 for it and get a hydro b16 tranny way better! i really dont know the specs on the b17 but i am assuming its basically the same as the b16's but anything from stock is an improvement!

 

yeah. i was thinking about getting a b16 hydro tranny, i might not before i do the swap but im definetly getting one soon. theres this guy that moved to mobile where i live now, from tampa. he used to make jdm conversion harnesses for passsword and ****. he's making me the conversion i need stepping down to obd1, also my dx ek doesnt have vtech... so yeah. and yeah, im using the ecu from the gsr for now. later on i'd like to get a different one. id like to go ahead and do all of this **** now, but i want the motor in my car and i only have limited money right now. when i start school next semester, i'll be abole to spend alot of it. i really appreciate all the help you guys...

 

The search button is the first place to start for a swap.....
