alright 90 ef sedan, thinking about a b16a obd0 swap. when it comes to a tranny, do i need a cable or hydro? or can i go with a gsr tranny? im not too familiar with the tranny swapping so please help me out if you guys can. thanks.

 

Any B series tranny will bolt right up.

really? no matter if its hydro or cable? i think it would be easier with a cable right? since my obd0 ef sedan is cable....or else ide have to add a master cylinder.

so if thats the case, as far as cable trannies go, what do i need to look for? i think im going to boost the b16a and use it for racing. would i look for shorter gear ratios or what?

well you should use cable because it has shorter gearings.

 

B16A+cable tranny+boost then tune.Search and you will get answers.

 

any specific cable b-series tranny? i know there are different model numbers.

i was taking a look at that link you gave me, got a pretty extensive parts list. anyways, the ecu pinning seems confusing, i have a buy a pin for the o2 sensors? i dont even know where to begin when it comes to that.

 

It does gets confusing if its your first time https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-crx-ef-civic-1988-1991-3/88-91-crx-ef-civic-frequently-asked-questions-faqs-1508680/

 

yea swapping a block and all the bottom end related stuff (tranny, axles, halfshaft) thats all new to me. i've swapped out heads before.

 

so yes any b series tranny will bolt up. But for a hydro tranny to work you will need to get hasports hydro tranny conversion kit for the EF.

you are better off going with a cable transmission in my opinion, its simpler and more cost effective. I would stick to the b16 trannys or the 92-93 GSR trans if you can find one. The LS will have way too long of gearing.

 

yea man i feel ya on that one. hasport stuff is too expensive in the first place. i just realized that i need to get the stupid B series mounts for an EF, which is like what? 300 bucks? stupid ****.

i found a bare b16a obd1 block (no pistons or rods) for only 45 dollars haha.

 

Nice...I heard you said that you were going to boost it in the future.My opinion that the LS motors is good for boost

 

It also has more torque then the torqueless b16.

 

so b18a or b18b more torque than b16? i want to stick obd0 so b18a?

 

ok i see what you mean, around 120lb for b18a and only 111lb for b16a, almost a 40hp gain with the b16a tho...

 

Yes sir.

 

Well it all comes down to your budget.

 

is it just me or does it seem like an LS motor from a 92-93 da would be hard to find? 140hp with 111lb/torque comparted to a 90-91 with 126lbs/torque with 130hp.

 

im leery of craigs list though. i dont want to **** around and get a piece of **** block or head....cuz if the price is right i may just pick it up and could be a mistake.

good site, cheap ****.

 

Wrong the 90-93 DA is a B18A which comes with 130hp and the 94-2001 DC comes with B18B with 140hp stock.

 

Yea just shop around and you will find a deal and whatever motor you choose GoodLuck to you.
