Ok guys, I'm taking the b18b that is in my old 96 Integra LS and putting it in my 96 Civic CX hatch. My LS was an auto and the motor is going to be converted to manual. What I need to know is a list of the items im going to need to make this possible (besides a manual tranny). This is my first swap so any advice is much appreciated.

Is the civic auto or manual? If its manual its a normal D to B swap which youll need everything from a SI for the OEM fit.

If its auto you need everything from a SI plus youll need pedals from 92-00 Civic or 94-01 Integra.

 

the civic is a manual. all i need to do if find a manual b series tranny. but i need to know all the other stuff i have to get too...like ecu,linkage...stuff like that.

 

Its simple, everything that your taking off thats automatic you have to replace with something manual.

 

thank you for the info man but i was really looking for specifics like what ecu i need?...what kind of linkage i need?...will i need to replace the clutch since i am now going to bolt the engine up to a manual tranny?...etc

search the FAQs, all ur answers are there. but in the meantime, this is what i used for my LS swap into my EK. 01 LS longblock and gsr tranny(LS tranny uses the same mounts and everything tho, same clutch and flywheel too), LS shift linkage, 96-98 civic EX manual sohc vtec engine harness, 96 LS ECU, you will need a Bseries manual clutch, flywheel and tranny, all the sensors. using the 96-98 EX harness makes the swap SO MUCH easier, everything bolts rite up and clips rite in.
o ya, and need a 99-00 civic SI rear t-motor mount, driver's side mount that connects to the head (can reuse ur single mount that connects to the frame itself) and im pretty sure all the other mounts you can reuse you stock mounts **somebody correct me if im wrong, been a while but im sure this is it. and get some ES polyurethane motor mount inserts and drive the bish like a race car lol

 

Ls tranny
ls shift linkage
ls flywheel
ls clutch kit w/pressureplate
ls manual flywheel bolts.
ls pilot&throwout bearing
You can use the manual mount thats on the civic PASSENGER SIDE
ls ecu
stock harness thats in the car
ls axles can be used from auto tranny
rear si T bracket
Drivers side upper mount bracket from an Si

 

great info guys thanks a lot....just wondering is there a difference between a manual ls ecu and an auto....basically im asking can I use my old auto ls ecu even tho my tranny will be manual?

 

no

 

thanks so i guess i CAN use my auto ecu.

 

did you read what SR420DET just typed? he said no...you won't be able to reuse your auto ecu in your manual car...unless you have someone convert your ecu to manual...you're best off just getting a new one...
