would this be a good deal?
can i use a dx or si tranny?

and what else would i need for the swap into my 1989 civic HB dx 5 spd

 

its an ok deal.
you can find them cheaper on the streets for like $500 (sir1 crx motor)
but you dont know what shape there in...


1. you need the motor mounts and shift linkage. (b series mounts for the ef)
2. you need a b series tranny. and starter. (no you cant use your dx or si tranny)
3. you need b series axels.
4. the rear T bracket for the rear mount.
5. change your trattle cable. to a si or hf.
6. you need a obd-0 pwo or pr3 ecu. for the dohc vtec.
7. you have to convert your wiring harness to mpfi (4 point fuel injection)
convert your dx harness just cut and add to it. dont go and buy a si harness because its not going to work.

that should be it.
good luck and have fun...

 

thanks

 

I would get an entire swap, motor/tranny/ecu etc... because your going to need it all anyhow.

Jdm b16's that came with automatic transmission are detuned. Basically they make less horsepower than the b16's that came with manual transmissions. If you buy just the motor you don't which one your are getting.

I've gotten all of my swaps via eBay auctions and have always been pleased. I usually get them cheaper than normal engine suppliers will charge. As always though regarding eBay use common sense so as not to get swindled cause it can happen.
