I have a 97 Civic Hx shell, no Brake Booster, AC, Shift Linkage, Motor, Tranny, etc. The wiring is all there though.

Basically I need help starting my B18 swap. I have Inovative B Series Motor Mounts. Where do I start? Are there any good guides out there?

The car had an LS motor in it previously, and I want to put one back in.
Thanks in advance

 

You bolt it in and wire it up...?

You need to be more specific.

My guide has some basic guide-lines, but its for the 92-95 platforms.

 

I guess Im just afraid to throw the motor/tranny in there and get lost. The brake Booster wouldnt come with a swap from Hmotors, so is that something that I can do after, or I have to do while the motor is out?

You can replace the brake booster with the motor in the car, its a little easier with the motor out obviously, but you don't have to pull the motor to get to it.

If you have the mount kit for your motor and transmission, you can 'just throw them in'

The wiring for a 6th gen is a little hairy because you need to a 6th gen honda civic engine wiring harness, and may have to move some connectors around etc.

Also, you made no mention of what year your B18 is, or if its a B18A1, or a B18B1 (both of which are LS motors, and if its not a 1996 or newer motor, you will need to cut up a harness IIRC)

Read through the write-up in my signature, its REALLY not as daunting as everyone makes it out to be. (Again, mine is for a 5th gen, so you need to use different linkage, different mounts, and etc, but the rest should be correct, or very similar)
