My frien just bought a 1996 civic ex shell and wants to swap his gsr from his 1991 integra. I need to know exactly what he needs. Hes getting a transmission and a few other things that he needs. Will he be able to use the stock ex harness or will i need to wire up more things, if anybody can help me with thsi or lead me to a page on this info please inform me. thanks for your time in advance

 

If his state has emissions testing, it won't work.

yeah we are in ny, i just wanted to know what parts i could use from the 91 integra and what other parts i would need to buy.

 

i dont think there ever was a 91 GSR..... even if there was it would be obd0 and the EX would be obd2... so no plug and play

 

gs-r first came in 92 here in the US

 

if the GSR swap is a 96 like it says in you thread title here is what you will need:

From the Donor:
Entire engine and trans assembly
both axles and intermediate shaft.

From 97 civic:

Keep the harness, you will reuse it. also remove the drivers side mount from the SOHC block you will need it also. drivers side upper bracket, fuel injectors

New parts:
96-98 GSR Distributor
96-98 P72 ECU
99-00 Civic Si Rear Bracket
99-00 Civic Si Shift Linkage
if you want to keep ac you will need a 94-97 del sol AC bracket (P54)
if you want to upgrade header a 98-00 Integra Type R is the fitment you want, it is the proper height and length to both to the cat without mods

Replace the dizzy, injectors and mounts, then harness the engine outside of the car and you are ready to drop it in

 

I just realized this...title is "96 GSR swap in 97ex." Then, in the first line of the post it says that it is a '91 GSR motor going into a '96 ex I am confused.

You'll need to wire for knock sensor and the IAB's for the GSR

no. y8 has knock so the harness will have it.

youll need 94-01 integra axles. rear tranny bracket from 99-00 si. extend primary o2 wires. extend VTEC wires.


everything else is plug and play. remember to go in tranny first, install brackets and mounts after motor is in.

 

eh iab's are garbage
