I threw a rod in my 97 civic dx d16y7 and have been looking for a replacement.

I just found a 95 integra GSR that was wrecked on the front for 750$. It has the b18c1, only thing is, its an AUTOMATIC.

I need to know what i would have to do to be able to use it in my 97 civic Manual. WOuld i have to buy a new tranny and just bolt it right to the motor? Could i just change that tranny from auto to manual ? plz help asap, this deal wont last long

thank u

 

i post and then immediately 3/4 down page >_< bump for help plz

 

You'll need a manual transmission, the correct ECU, you'll need Integra linkage, and axles. Not too bad considering you've got an awesome motor now.

 

you found a usdm gsr with an auto?

 

ok, since im getting the whole car, will that come with everything but the manual tranny + the right ecu? So the linkage / axles will be pulled off the integra and i can just put them in my civic? sorry for all my newb questions >_<

and i think i will need to remove the driveplate from the motor and install a flywheel correct?

How much will the tranny / ecu / whatever else i need cost generally?

 

I do not believe there is such a thing as a usdm gsr automatic.

500-1000 on the tranny.
The ecu pricing will depend on if you want to stay obd2 or do a conversion(obd2-obd1) with a chipped/programmable ecu. Remember emission testing.
If you stay obd2 and convert the motor to obd2 you will need a distributor and the rest of the obd2 stuff.
I would buy a brand new flywheel.

There is more that you will need but I am tired of typing. Search around some for obd2a-obs1 conversion how-to's.

 

im still not believing you found a usdm gsr auto. maybe someone swaped a b18c1 into an ls and kept it's auto tranny.

 

ugh... So i guess the picture of the car / motor the guy gave me is just "SIMILAR" to his. turns out, upon reviewing the new real pics its the b18b1... At this point, its not even worth the money/time/effort right?

I can get a JDM d16 that will bolt right to my car for 395 + 175 shipping. comes with block / head intake exhaust manifolds tb dizzy etc (no new tranny ) from hmotorsonline. I really wanted to go for a better motor but at this point, ive quit my job cause i live too far away from it and without a car = no thx walk. heh but do you think the jdm d16 will be my better option right now? they can have it to me by friday. Or should i keep looking around and hopefully find something for -600 $ (all i have to spend atm)

BTW here is a link to the actual pictures of the Acura

yeah, definitely not a gsr auto.

b18b1 is nice though, but for 750 Frosty's you could get a b18b locally for less.

 

i would get it, take the motor out and part the car out. after your done selling the peaces you could take the frame in and scrap it at a metal yard. or if ya have enough money fix it, manual swap it and have a nice teg.
