I'd say I'm intermediate when it comes to Honda's and motor swapping. I know how to determine parts on the car, but now, I am going to attempt my first swap. There are a lot of guru's out here on H-T, that have provided a lot of food for thought when it comes to swap. I have read all the faqs in the thread above, but I still have some more questions.

To start, I am swapping a B16A into my 97' EK hatch. The B16A is perfectly functional from a salvaged car. The D16Y7 is still in my EK.

First question, what all do I have to take out from the B16A for it to be fully functional in my EK?

There would not be a cherry picker involved, so what should I watch out for?

How do I start the process of taking out the B16A?

Thats about it, I'll keep everyone updated with pictures as soon as the skies clear. Thanks again, H-T gurus.

 

try finding a honda manual it shows you how to take it out in there....

 

Thanks, that helps a lot.

 

Bump up for some useful tips!

 

buy alot of candy and soda will be a few long nights

 

you deff should have a couple buddies help you and atleast one of them who has done it before. then it will go alot faster and smoother.

 

Its gonna be a fun time. A little trial and error and it'll work. You will need the rear mount from a Del Sol VTEC or a 99-00 Si, as well as the B-series linkage, not from a Del Sol though.
And yeah, a couple energy drinks, electrical tape and some buddies.

Enjoy your first major honda project!!
