Doing a JDM B16a Swap into my 89 EF Hatch
hey whats going on im new to this forum, i drive a 89 EF Civic Hatch, i am doing a JDM B16 swap this coming April, and i was thinking about going through Hmotorsonline to get the complete swap, is that a good place to order the swap from, and when i do the swap is every thing wire harness wise going to plug and play into place, i know im going to go with different timing belt and water pump since it is recamended to do when doing a swap, and i know i will have to wire in VTEC and a secondary O2 sensor if i am correct, is there any thing else i need to be informended on when doing this swap, or is every thing going to just hook up the way it should,
Thanks Guys

Things you will need to swap the B in:
-90-93 Integra driveshafts
-90-93 Integra throttle cable (you can rig it to work, but why rig it)
You will need to wire in vtec and what not. -Use the wiring harness that comes with the engine as a source for plugs and wires, not as a replacement for your harness.
-Use a proper kit to mount it, don't expect the mounts that come attached to it to work
Theres lots more, but it looks like you understand what you are doing. Look in the FAQ, tons of info on how to go B in your EF.

a lot of times the axles that come with the swap are busted ans their sole purpose is to be used as a core for replacment...
u can still use your old throttle cable...you just need to mess around a bit with the bracket...
if ur an std. u need to change ur hubs to DX,SI hubs
unless ur an SI, u need to do an mpfi conversion on your harness as well...
you also need to dent in your frame rail on the driver side...if you dont there will not be enough clearance for your alternator..you can go with a shorter belt,but i dont know if they make em short enough that you dont have to dent in the rail..
