so i have a 90 civic hatch with the 1.5 SOHC, which is burning oil like crazy so i happened to come a across a another hatch exactly the same but with a b16a and an lsd 5 speed. that car is wreaked but the engine is good, plan is to swap the engines.

im starting to dig in to it and feel like it over my head i need a good shop manual. anyone know witch one and where to get it?

 

The official honda/acura manual is the Helm manual. Expensive but priceless

there are also some online manuals, look in the FAQS

if you plan on swapping a B16 in then you might want one for the civic and a manual for the motor also

also if you plan to swap that motor just look through the faqs at the top of the civic/crx page, theres alot more relavant swap info there.

btw that project should be fairly straight forward. just take the motor mounts wiring harness, ECU, axels and hubs if you need them, and exhaust (just so it fits) from the other car.

While you have the motor removed you should do some preventative maintanance like the water pump and timing belt, ect.

 

Just search man. There's TONS of B16 swap guides. On Honda-tech and off honda-tech. Google it when your done on here. And check out 10 different sites.
