well im a new guy here and i haven't made many posts...but right now i have a 1999 civic ex (automatic) and it came with a d16y8.

as of now im in the process of dropping a b16a3 inside....well heres some pics, let me know what you think










and this is my baby before the swap

 

oh yeah, its also getting a 5 speed conversion...forgot to add that....and its getting boosted

 

good luck man i hope everything works out good for you, im in the process of building my b16a1 for my EK ill have to post pics when im done

 

good stuff

 

are you converting it to 5sp?
if not what transmission are you using?
LS?
what ECU are you going to use for the swap?

 

yeah its being converted to a 5 speed, im using the stock del sol dohc vtec tranny...if im right its the y80 or ys1 or something...im not good with tranny codes....im using the obd1 that came with the del sol

 

I figured so, GL with it all
Get some pics when completed.

 

for sure. ill get some pics up when its done with the swap....

oh btw, the planned build up for this car is something like

new paint job...keeping it taffeta white

ek fogs

lips

a set of konig heliums (bronze) wrapped in falken ziexs 205/55/15

brembo cross drilled rotors

a chipped p28 ecu...maybe running the spoon chip or whatnot

apexi afc neo

tein stech springs

an si grille

72mm throttle body from dh-racing

skunk2 intake manifold

apexi ws2 or NOIR

the greddy turbo kit and some FMIC kit off ebay or something

and thats it for now....yeah i know, i need to do some headwork

 

Don't waste your money on the Apex'i NEO. If you're going to be running a chipped P28, you're obviously going to get the car tuned when you boost it, so the NEO is a waste of money.

Good luck.

 

yeah i guess thats very true.....maybe ill invest in a electronic boost controller or a turbo timer or something......oh yeah, i forgot, i need a bov

 

Turbo kits normally come with one of those.

 

correct me but through my research i dont think the greddy one comes with one.....hm....i guess im just buying that kit for the emanage

 

i was just wondering why you are going to get the greddy kit is it because it is street legal or what?

 

Good luck on the swap... tomarrow starts my 1st swap

 

well im getting the greddy one 80% because it comes with an emanage...and the other 20% is cuz im thinking like a ricer and i like the name....lol

i was looking into other kits that include an fmic for less...but they dont come with injectors and ****. i know i can buy the emanage seperate along with larger injectors...but i guess im being lazy and i dont feel like looking around. anyways, if you guys are running turbines on your b16, what do you personally reccomend?

 

EManage = Garbage. Besides, with your chipped P28 it's useless to you. My advice? Look in the F/I forum for a "Turbo B16" thread. It's there, but you'll have to search the archives. Or go through the recent threads.

And for what you pay for the GReedy kit, you could get a better one.

why is his p28 chipped? he has a usdm b16 not jdm... i belive its a p30 the ecu he has

 

My guess is he bought the P28 to use to tune the car with.

The only USDM B16 ECU is the P2T, it's OBD-II for the 99-00 Si. If he intends on running a boosted car, he'll need that P28 and some sort of engine management for tuning purposes.

ok but the b16a3 also came in the del sol.... which came with the p30 or i could be wrong ..

 

Actually you're right. The Si had the B16A2, withthe Del Sol having the B16A3.

Same motor, different chassis. I don't remember the ECU for the Del Sol, it was OBD-II as well.

 

Thank you

actually no, the 94-95 del sol vtec came with a b16a3 obd1 with a USDM P30 and the 96-97 del sol was B16a2 and was obd2a

 

Cool, thanks for the correction. Shows I'm still learning.

 

no, the b16a3 is obd1 i know theres a lot of confusion going around but the only b16 stateside that is obd2 is the b16a2 that came in EM1's the b16a3 came in the 94-95 del sol dohc vtec. im not sure if im right, but p28 IS obd1 right?

oh yeah, and again, the b16a3 is obd1 regardless of what anyone else says, because i have one sitting over here

 

oh scratch that, i guess its a p30
