hey i was wondering what would i be needing to drop a b18a into my crxi know ill need the mount kit but what else would i need? anyone done this before? i was originally gonna go with a d16z6 but i the 1.8 dohc kept calling out to me so im gonna pull together all my money and do al ls swap. thanks.

 

shift linkage, axles, throttle cable(depending on model)..u also gotta make a pretty good dent where the alternater pulley goes(so it clears)....its also gotta be wired, gotta move your rear mount to the auto/b-series side and u know what theres also some other **** too...I think PlaceRacing or Hasport has a **** load of good info...good luck
ps I bet this might get locked

 

what do you meen by a dent? and also can you explain the whole auto/b-series mount thing? thanks.

 

In your frame rail you need either a dent or a hole cut out for the alternator pulley
to clear.(drivers side).

cool thanks alot. what shift linkage could i use for this swap?

 

I used HCP adjustable and many of my friends have used custom civic/integra cut and welded linkages but IMO the adjustable is better. Becasue You know you can adjust it and it will never be set a certain way unless you put it that way. And with the welded one it is stuck that way unless you want to reweld it and ****. So if you do it that way do it right the 1st time.

 

true. how much does the hcp linkage usually go for? thanks for all the info to. i appreciate it.

 

You can buy the linkage with the mounts for a good price like 375-400. I got mine form a person on http://www.thepartstrader.com and I think they sell them all the time also check out http://www.jdmshit.com I heard they have great pricing on there mounts and stuff. Alot of people dont use HCP becasue a few will talk **** and say HASports is better DONT LISTEN! I have had my HCP for 6 mths and love them still they are holding up great. BTW I have a 89 DX with a 92 b18a. Runs very good HELLA torque!!!!!!!!!!

 

About that auto/b-series mount thing, do you have to weld it, or make holes to bolt it up, or are there already holes (as if your car could have been either auto or manual from the factory)?

Thanks. good thread
