Just picked up a 91 si hatch and I dont really know to much about the ef style hatches i used to drive a 94 civic ex with standard z6 with boltons and a 4dr 95 integra so not to sure waht i need anyway. i have the shell and a full d16y8 motor swap i need to know what kind of mounts i need for the cable to hydro tranny conv. will the stock ones work?? also what kind of jumper harness am i gonna need? i looked in the faq but it appears all of the faqs were not a full swap just a head swap at least what i saw any help would be greatly appreciated im in the process of doing the body work and paint right now but the motor will be going in soon.

 

bump fpr help

 

try http://www.zdyne.com for a jumper harness. i am going to be trying one of them when i swap a y8 head onto my a6

 

i think the mounts should be the same. they were both d-series......just my opinion

 

Engine Mounts - There are currently no D-Series Hydro --> Cable mounts available to my knowledge. So if you want to use the Hydraulic transmission be prepared for some custom fab work and realize as well you will not have a front engine mount. That becomes a problem if the three remaining engine mounts are not strong enough to stop the torquing of the motor. When swapping in the D16Y8 longblock itself, the engine mount bracket attached at the timing belt needs to be replaced with one from a D15B1 / B2 / B6 or D16A6.

Electronics - Run OBD-1 Computer chipped with proper P2P (Believe thats the D16Y8 ECU Code) maps. No matter what people say, the two engines (D16Z6 & D16Y8) run off different timing / fuel maps. This is the one-stop source for all your computing needs http://www.rywire.com, no ifs ands or buts.

 

damn i didnt realize it was going to be taht big of a seal to put this motor in i might just pick up a b-series to avoid the headache i had someone offer me 650 for my swap maybe i can get 700 and get an ls or something a little simpler i am not wanting to do any custom fab work for a single cam motor.

 

Well you won't have to do any fabrication work if you find a cable transmission.

 

as in like a crx si tranny or such will it bolt right up??? and will it still run good ratios and all
