I found a jdm b16b that is already wired up and in a 96 civic coupe already, my question is what do I need to do to put it in a 93 civic coupe???

 

Search, there are many threads on this.

 

I have done the quick search I havent found anything. If you know where they are at let me know

 

» Search Results

Your search for b16 swap returned 942 results.

Come on man, can't ask us to do your work. I'd love to help, but seriously, info on this can be found all over the boards.

First off, a 92-95 Civic EX harness would work, but ideally your want an OBD2 Integra harness (not off your 96 Civic). You also need these mounts:



Then you'll need a chipped P28 or P30 ECU with a B16B base map. You'll need to wire in the knock sensor.

 

actually when you type in b16b there are 40 search results.. Thanks for the info oh and Im not asking you to do the work I just wasnt sucessful in finding the right info.

Pretty much all b-series swaps are the same.

 

can I use the mounts that are in the 96 already for the 93??

 

no, you will have to get a b series mount kit for a 92-95 .. just use swap info for a regular b16.. same thing and a lot more seach results.

 

alright, I plan on trying to make about 300 hp are these good platforms?? Im finding a good deal on one thats why im asking.

 

300 WHP is going to be hard without boost and the B16B isn't the ideal motor for boosting.

 

I was plan on boosting around 8 to 12 psi..

 

you better find a good tuner, with such high compression in the b16b there is not a lot of room for error.

 

grab errythang, and some integ mounts

a b16b is from a 98-00 civic type r... not sir2

 

B16b is probably the best stock honda motor for turbo applications. I don't see why people are afraid of compression.

 

And that is exactly why people are afraid of it. A B16B is NOT the best, not even close to the best, in fact it's most likely the worst. Cast dome pistons, already crappy flame travel regardless of the hemi style head, absolutely 0 room for error equals anyone with little experience burning a hole in the damn thing.

If you can gas port the pistons, know to a T what you are doing with Hondata, Crome, or one of the others, and so on, yes, it would survive turbo'd but it's far from ideal. The reason low compression is more ideal is because you can have a perfect tune today, and in a week with a healthy change in temp and humidity, it's already off. Now combine that with a no room for error engine and it equals boom. Lower compression has more relaxed needs and a broader spectrum of what will live and what won't.


If you can't make a statement without proof, it would be better not to make one at all because all you do it perpetuate the internet idiocy of people with no hands on experience and a lot of free time to read and think they know what they are talking about.

 

Jay_Sensing.. you are wrong sir, low compression is safer yes. But why be afraid to learn the limits. Get a professional tuner for instance a guy i know down here who who tuned a stock b16-t with a 14b turby and is making 270whp. i think there is a thread around here about boosting a CTR im gonna look.

 

Some good info the first page or so...

The main reason I plan on going w/the b16b is because I found the motor, lsd tranny, ecu, axles, etc. Pretty much everything I want off of this car for a grand. The bad thing about the motor is spun a rod bearing.

 

I am not interested in a pissing contest with you. What you are trying to use to prove a point is nothing more than more internet myths and rumors. So some guy who happens to say "it's the best" will cause you to buy off automatically and believe it? I deal in fact and hands on experience since I have been in the hot rod game since you were about 6. I am not saying this to be a smartass, I am simply stating fact. The motor wasn't built for it, it won't work out well in the end, it will take too much attention to detail to enjoy it as a street car, and a cheaper P30'd/PR3'd setup will work out a lot easier and make more reliable power with the original tune say at 70 degrees.

The PCT'd motor will need to be looked into constantly and stand the chance of detonation and death with a 20 degree weather change for the colder.

 

a 14b is a relativley small turbo tho man, i agree do not boost an all motor high comp

always on top of things jay p.s. you can add me to your vouch list lol.. its bbadillo from PF.

 

Do you all think the motor, tranny, axles, and ECU are worth a thousand? It has a spun rod bearing so it needs a rebuild.

 

stock b16b compression is only 10.7:1. people boost k20's and jdm b18c's with higher compression and no problems. so everybody quit bitching about boosting this or that with such high compression. bottom line, it's been done over and over by many people. how well it runs is entirely on the tune and how you treat it.

spun bearings usually means a bad crank. good luck trying to find a replacement ctr crank. it's up to you.
