examples...what stock parts can i use from the integra, what stock parts can i use from the civic....i need to know everything!! thanx again

 

ok that tranny are you useing? and what year car did the motor come out of? LMK and ill walk you through the proscess, ive done tons of b swas

 

dont kno the tranny code but its a gsr tranny and the motor is coming out of the 93 integra...is a b18a1

 

bump for the helpppp :-(

 

You should be able to run the car with your ex engine harness. Take out your sohc. assemble the B18A and the GSR tranny. Will need hydro clutch and flywheel. Then throw that bitch in there. Will need a B series throttle cable too.

EDIT: axles , B series shift linkage

 

i was told i can use the integra axles? and also..the new hydro tranny comes with shift linkage...but are the shift linkages even different between cable and hydro transmissions?

 

and the clutch in the cable tranny is of no use when i put the hydro in? :-/

 

Well since you got the axles and shift linkage thats good. how about ECU? and no the cable clutch n flywheel will not work in the hydro. Two different types of systems.

 

i think my friend has an ecu for me....umm...i dont need any other mounts correct? a combo of my mounts will do? which ones.....

 

im still confused bout the clutches....cuz theyr bolted onto the engine block..what should that have to matter with what transmission you have?

 

ttt

 

Use 94-01 Integra mounts. And no you will need a hyrdo clutch and flywheel!

 

sick man...i appreciate all the help...one more question...about the wiring...what will i do about that? i already got the distributor and ecu figured out...but im talkin bout the engine wiring...thanx again

 

the flywheel and pressure plate are fine. you will need a clutch disk for a hydro tranny.

 

What doood said sounds right. But it wouldnt hurt to install a new flywheel with that hydro clutch disc.
Well as for wiring. Since both engines are obdI most plugs should hookup. You wont need the vtec plugs though, so just leave those unplugged when wiring the engine.

so nowww i understand the whole clutch thing.....well the integra motor is obd0, and the civic is obd1, so thats where im still stumped...

 

Im not sure if they have a obd1- obd0 conversion harness but you can search around. Or either your gonna have to use obd0 everything. I dont know either.

 

swap is in, used obd 1 ecu, distributor and hydro tranny....started right up, the fuel pump only comes on sometimes....when i put the key in on position...and sometimes the fuel cuts out when im driving....does anyone kno what this could be? either main relay or my fuel pump??

 

nice job on the swap. I wish mine was that easy.

 

thanx dude...im glad it all worked out on the first try...engine hoists make things soooo much easier too!! lol
