hey hey hey It worked ... Right ?

 

Wow 16hrs and I see about 5 people working on it, that must be a record.

 

Looks good though Just kidding about the 16 hours thing, it took me about 3 weeks.

 

we had about 5 or 6 people there off and on 3 main people me my buddy chad and my other buddy matt we we had the engine (b16) in the car in about 3 or 4 hrs than it was just a matter of connecting the right wires ... I drove it home that night .. but the map sensor was hooked up wrong and it would stall if you let off the gas ......

 

Damn, I really like that cool looking green 4dr...It's an interesting color.

 

the green is a factory color .. sea foam or mint are the best ways i can discribe it .. I never really liked it much .. thou there wernt too many people out there with it .. I only met one other person with a modified car the same color and he was gangasta with crome rims ......

 

not bad hope you cleaned the engine bay

 

i see a sedan and a hatch, which one is yours?

 

"i see a sedan and a hatch, which one is yours?"

i think the sedan was the donor and the hatch is his.
great job

 

Good work! 16 hours is pretty fast...

 

Sedan = donar .... Killed in a car accident ...Its hard to tell but some woman rear ended me and did 4500 dollars worth of damage If you look close you can see the radiator mount is crushed and the passenger head light is out .... funny 4500 dollars and I still drove it for 3 weeks ...... I miss my sedan .. but I Like the hatch too ... it just needs a lot of tlc

 

Same thing happened to my car after swap. I assume everything is good now though, right?

 

yeah after some rest and looking at it with fresh eyes we saw that we had some vacume lines hooked up wrong ... bout 10 minutes latter ... all better

 

Nice pics, i'll be on the lookout for ya.

 

How in the **** is 15 hours fast for a swap????? Am I stupid and I didn't pick up the sarcasm?

To remove my d-series, install a new wiring harness on the b18c1, install a new ACT clutch, change all the fluids, wire vtec, and get EVERYthing working from stock DX, to 14second hybrid took me and 2 friends 4.5 hours. And we didn't even have a lift. We did have all the air tools though.

Is that a joke and I just don't get it?
I mean even removing the swap from the first car, and removing the d series from the other car and then swapping in the b-series shouldn't take more than 8hrs..

Are you kidding and im just an idiot?

When I worked at braman honda (biggest honda dealer in S. Fla) one of the old mechanics dropped a d series (literally dropped it) in 12 minutes. He had a lift and air tools of course.

I am a Radio DJ ... Chad is a Club bouncer and Matt is a hotel front desk person .. No we had no air tools just hand tools and a sissy bar .... so for us to do it in 16 hrs I think is pritty good .. hell im just happy we got it done let alone in less than 24 hrs .. sorry if I didnt do it up to your standards

 

man ...my friend big b can do a b16 swap pretty much by himself in 6 hours.....hes crazy though.......your swap looks good but know was it....i like to take my time and make everything spotless..guess im ****...

 

I didnt have a chance to take my time and do everything the way I wanted to ... I got of work friday at midnight .. and had to be back at work on monday at 5 pm .. ohh and add in a 6 hr drive each way ..... Long weekend ... the old engine in the hatch was blow I would have loved to clean it really good with the engine out ... but no time ... oh well

NS

 

First time for everything takes awhile.

 

Well said. I think 16 hours is pretty good for someone who hasnt done multiple swaps. Looks good too!

 

shawn you're **** about everything related to your car's cleanliness
