Slowly planning out my auto to manual swap on my 1996 green sol just making sure i cover ALLL my bases before i attempt to start!

OK so far I've acquired the following:
From a 92-95 civic-
Trans
ECU(yea i know wrong one)
Clutch + brake pedal
master cyl and some lines ?
starter
misc mounts/stabilizer

From ebay-
del sol S/si shift linkage + ****
Manual p2p d16y8 ecu frmo 97 ex

I plan on getting a clutch kit because the clutch on the tranny is no good.. but this is what i THINK i still need to get-

d16y8 manual intake manifold and throttle body.
2 wire IACV

What am i missing?? :-) any help is appreciated..

Also what parts of the swap can i do BEFORE i actually have to stop driving the car.. pedals?? Just trying to make this as smooth as possible because me w/ no car = no job = no $ for other parts haha

Thanks!

 

you could put on the clutch lines

 

since when does the clutch bolt to the tranny?

 

i have del sol b-series shift linkage, if you need it, its a very hard to get item.

since he got a del sol s/si linkage, i'm willing to bet that he has a D-series inside.

 

haha yes, it is my daily driver so low boost turbo is all she gets :-) but this is the first step.. :-)

I dont see where i said the clutch bolted to the tranny.. but i will be putting in the pedals over the weekend.. as far as the lines .. i only have them from 92-95 civic.. will i have to add my own ss line for any of them??

thanks!

you should be alright as long as you have the EG hardlines + softline....oh SNAP! did you get a clutch slave cylinder?

edit#2 btw: you can do the pedals/master cylinder/hardline/softline/slave cylinder filling with fluid and bleeding system (dont forget to benchbleed the MC)/IM/TB without putting the car to rest. each of those jobs individually dont take much time. and then swap in the tranny when you have the time, just make sure the Slave is tied up so it doesnt bounce around while you drive

ninja edit! this is post #1700!!

 

Ok good start thank you.. I have vacation time in 2 weeks i think i'll try the swap then.. but i really have to make sure i have everything! haha

Its still unclear after reading umteen hundred posts on WHAT throttle body and WHAT IM is compatible for this swap.. is it d16y8 manual only? or can i self tap into these pieces?? Most post linger around the answer and its not clear.. if there is someone that can give answer some of my questions i would appreciate it!! through email or something! :-)


PS anyone in NEW JERSEY wanna help out sometime the week of the aug 27-sept 2
free beer haha

 

Bump got some helpful info via PM's .. still looking for a throttle body.. and potentialy a manifold.. if not I will attempt to drill out my own!! :-X

OTHER then those items does anyone see anything that sticks out that I'm missing

p.s. good clutch kit for about 200 HP?

 

Bump plus update

OK so far I've acquired the following:
From a 92-95 civic cx -
Trans eww bad ratio- in process of either gettin ex trans or FD and gears for EX
ECU(yea i know wrong one)
Clutch + brake pedal
master cyl and some lines ?
starter
misc mounts/stabilizer

From ebay-
del sol S/si shift linkage + ****
Manual p2p d16y8 ecu frmo 97 ex

I plan on getting a clutch kit because the clutch on the tranny is no good.. but this is what i THINK i still need to get-

d16y8 manual intake manifold(might just tap my own) and

MANUAL throttle body from a newer civic i think works.. and from integra LS i've been told also.. .

If anyone knows for sure.. i think it has to have 2 wire iac connection?? not 100% sure but thats what i got so far... do autos have an iac? lol

2 wire IACV

Ps. I bought an antenna.. what a pain install
