Hey all,
I currently have a EG Civic 95' 4dr sedan and i am very noob at this , i dont know where to start and i have so many ideas i want to do with my car and it would be awesome if anyone has ideas/suggestions about what i also could/should do.... i just love hondas to death!!!

I want to replace D15B7* with an b16a - i need help finding where i can get one.
Looking honda/mugen body kits and where? (eg. lip and skirt extentions?)
Finding the right Vtec Controller and cams for the b16a - i need direction in this.
Replacing or updating the Suspenstion / brakes and discs - what should i consider?
Anything else i should condiser other then the above points mentioned?

i am open to all suggestions, i know there might be posts that answer these questions so links to other posts or websites that can point me in the right direction would be wonderful. i'm an australian so if you know of any thing in QLD that can help that would be much appreated aswel.

1)unless it is not running, why would you want to replace a b16b with a b16a, the b is from the type r civic and has a mild port and polish from the factory(im pretty sure) and also has different camshafts and higher compresion pistons than the "a"

2) body kits go to the clasified section, some one usually has lips for like $85 bucks, or you can findem cheaper, just search

3) vtec controller... just get your ecu chipped and dyno tuned if you are going to run after market camshafts... you can find camshafts in the classifieds

4) susp/brakes... classifieds, i have tokico rak full coilover system on my car, rides great... brakes... find a civic si or integra brake swap, i assume you want four wheel disc... IN THE CLASSIFIEDS

5) other things to consider... use the search option and the classifieds!!!

i didnt take notice to see if you were a trial user or not, so you might have to wait for the classified sections to be available to you, good luck...

 

Awesome, thanks alot for your help.
i also have made a typo i dunno why i said b16b.... its a d15b7 lol im sorry about that.
plus my engine has done over 365,000kms...
more suggestions on brands etc are welcome :D?

 

okay, so the way i see it to convert from d15b7 to b16a is to buy the front cut? becuase i cant drop it in without new transmission and wiring etc..
does this sound right? and if someone knows of an article of this converstion done can i be linked, pretty please? :D?

 

1. As far as the B16 goes, many people on here tend to go here, but there are many other places to go as well. This should tell you just about anything you need to know about swapping a b16 into your car.

2. As far as brakes, here or here are good starts.

Everything else is up to you. What will you be driving this car for? Daily driver, drag car, or AutoX? How much money do you want to spend? What are your power goals? We need to know more specific questions for a lot of this stuff. And btw, search is your friend.

Thanks heaps dude.
legends!

 

what will i drive it for? yeah probably wanting to have a bit of fun draging it, was looking for some vtec controllers and computers cams and other crazy stuff, i have $15,000 AUD to spend on it, i wanna see how fast b16a can really go and driving something fast without forced induction. :D
