hey all,
Im in the process of building an ED hatch in Australia. Now because we only have shitty dual carby versions down here, i dont have a great deal of help/info...
the situation...
at the moment the car has an Automatic d15b4 (dual carb), the motor is playing up alot, I want to put a B series motor in at a later date as money doesnt allow this just yet. I have come across a cheap EFI motor (D15b7) for a good price that id like to throw in for the meantime...
Im getting the EFI and manual parts from a wrecked CRX that im told EVERYTHING will xchange str8 over to my ED correct?
SO all i need to know, is how much work is involved in gettting this EFI motor in? im so far aware the motor will bolt str8 in but the gearbox wont?

any help GREATLY appreciated!!

Im pretty sure the actual engine is identical to the dual carb one, just a different injection system, so everything should bolt up using stock mounts. Was the d15b7 on the EG?

And youll find that almost all mechanicals are transferrable from rex to civic.

Goodluck with the swap man

 

Don't forget your ED6 will need the tank, fuel pump and hard-lines from the ED9 as well.

i woulnd't even fool with a motor swap if the bottom end sounds fine i would do this...

convert the wiring harness and ecu
swap old intake manny with the fuel injected version
$50 ebay header
forget the tank and lines and buy a high volume fuel pump and mount it on the firewall
smoke tires

but if you can get a really good deal why not

 

haha yeahh i COULD do that ^^ but i want to convert the car from auto to manual aswell and my motor is on the way out so im pretty keen on just swapping the motor str8 over haha...
