I'm still really new to Honda's. I'm trying to learn the best I can, so please dont haze me about this question.

If I were to purchase a complete motor swap, for example...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...wItem

How much hands on work would actually be required other than pulling my motor, and putting this one in. Besides changing motor mounts.

With B16 mounts, could I just drop this in, plug it into original wiring (91 hatch STD)
install new ECU and be good?

Or would extra modifying be required.

Again, sorry if this is a noob question. I'm just really interested in a swap and am researching.

Thanks in advance for any information

dpfi to mpfi, and if you go b16 or vtec you have to wire up your vtec and you will need new axles if you go b series

Swap Shopping List

For the B16a swap there are a LOT of parts needed beforehand in order to succesfully swap. There are many aftermarket companies providing parts available for the swap.... I bought what I thought were the best parts...

B16a Motor (1st Generation)
Transmission (Cable clutch) Y1, J1, S1, or YS1
ECU (PR3 or PW0, but I'd recommend the PR3)
I bought my motor package from http://www.nipponmotors.com and had it shipped to the shop near me where I performed the swap, in 5 days for . I would check http://www.SOKO.com first, but they are usually out of stock.

Bolt-In mount kit
Shift Linkage (either cut and weld your own, or buy one)
Conversion Wiring Harness (has 4 plugs)
All of this stuff I bought through a HAsport vendor. I would only recommend the HAsport mounts.... You can cut and weld your own shift linkage, but HAsport also makes one that is a perfect fit... it all depends on $$$. Check out http://www.HAsport.com

Engine harness (save your stock one for this)
Axles (any 90-93 Integra Axles will do)
Intermediate shaft (in case your engine didn't come with one, '90-'93 Integra)
Radiator Hoses (check http://www.HAsport.com , I believe one is a '92 GSR, and one is a '90 GSR)
Throttle Cable ('90-'93 Integra)
Rear motor mount bracket ('90-'93 Integra, DO NOT FORGET THIS! Also, order the 2 motor side bolts as well)

Most of tjis stuff can easily be found at a junkyard, or bought from your local Honda/Acura dealer. I have a decent hookup so I went through the dealer...

Now is also a good time to replace the timing belt, water pump, clutch, oil filter.

All of those besides the clutch you get for a Del-SOl VTEC. The clutch is for a 1990 Integra (because of the cable transmission)

Also, don't forget simple things like oil (I use Mobil 1 Synthetic), Tranny Fluid (Factory Honda Manual Trans fluid), and Radiator Coolant/Antifreeze

 

Thanks for the detailed response.

After learning what I have, and with my skill level...I think I'd be better suited putting in a JDM ZC. A lot cheaper, and almost double the HP from my stock motor.
