well i just picked up a 96 l.s integra motor and transmission (5-speed) and i was planning on dropping it in soon. but my ek hatch is automatic..yeah sucks
i have gotten all the parts like shiftlink,pedals,clutch lines, motor mounts,etc...
question is.....

=i just wanted to kno,has anyone done a (L.S) motor swap into a (96-00) civic?...
also converting it to (5-speed)?....need guidelines...

=this is my first time doing this so please help me out=haha thanks:thumbsup:

 

yes ls swaps are very common in 96-00 civics ( got 1 in mine ) and so is the auto to 5speeed swap. check out this link for some more info... https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-del-sol-1992-2000-1/engine-swap-info-faqs-how-ck-engine-lights-878010/

 

more importantly, check this thread: https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-del-sol-1992-2000-1/%5Bfaq%5D-96-00-auto-manual-swap-full-detail-44pics-1337459/

it really helped me get thru my auto-5speed conversion..... good luck!

 

Its a piece of cake. Youll need an obd2b to obd1 conversion harness to run your ecu. But its not a hard swap. Good luck

 

OBD2B to OBD2A.

To the OP both the auto to manual and LS swaps are pretty straight forward.

 

okay koo thanx for the help guys:D..appreciate the help.
o btw what if i just stay to obd2?...i got a stock l.s ecu i think it was p75?..gotta check..but yeah can i just stay to obd2?..or obd1 betta?...thanx.

 

You can stay OBD2, you will have to use an OBD2A LS ECU and conversion harness, the OBD2B integra ECUs all have immobilizers in them. OBD1 is really only better in that you can chip and tune an OBD2 ECU, stock theres not really any difference in performance.

 

^^^aight mang,good info from all of you...alright guess i better get started haha...

 

^^^quick question i have a 96 l.s (p-75) ecu but it doesnt plug n play into my stock ecu harness... what can i use in order for me to run my l.s?....

I WANT AN ECU THAT WILL PLUG IN MY ECU HARNESS....ANY SUGGESTIONS BESIDES USING A JUMPER HARNESS?...PLS LMK THANX AGAIN

 

get an obd2b ls ecu. obd2a and obd2b have different plugs for the ecu. obd2a is from the 96-98 civic while obd2b is from the 99-00. Since you have an obd2b car, the 96 (obd2a) ecu will not plug in directly to your car. you have ttwo options

trade the ecu
or
buy a conversion harness.

 

so from what year (OBD2B) L.S ECU IS THAT FROM 99-00 INTEGRAS?.....

 

There quite honestly isn't one, unless you can find someone capable of removing the immobilizer in an OBD2B LS ECU. All OBD2B Integra ECUs have an immobilizer, in other words the ones that plug into your harness.

 

^^^dammm itt...i guess i gotta do more h/w on this swap. might just get a jumper harness(OBD2B TO OBD1)... alright much thanx for the helpful information. happy thanxgiving everyone!!!!:D
