i will be ordering a b18 gsr complete swap from honda motors online in a few weeks. i know everything it comes with but what else i might need ? raiator hoses ? can i use my throttle cable ? anything else needed for the wire harness ? do i have to swap anything from my shift linkage ? it comes with motor mounts but i got hasport & they will fit but what about the brackets, which do i need ? also i have ngk plug wires from a d16 , will they fit b18 ? thanks for any input guys.

 

USDM GSR wiring harness (its LHD) (Mine was ODB1)

GSR upper and lower Radiator hoses
GSR Throttle cable
GSR Heater core hose

A a lil bit longer Fuel return line.

Now this is all I needed to buy to put it in a EG civic.

You will also need to wire in a knock sensor, and Switch A17 to A20 on the ECU pinout.

you MIGHT need some exhaust work as well where the header meets the cat.

Also you need to get new wires/plugs/cap/rotor

I know all this because I just finished my swap on Saturday.

P.S. And I got my swap from HMO as well best damn clean engine I have ever seen

 

t bracket. if its a 96 or up, then you will need a 00 civic si t bracket. also,you might need to convert your iacv from 3 wire to 2 wire plug,if needed.

 

its a 97 civic ex. see sig. also what about power steering ?

 

i dont know much about wiring, does anybody have a writeup of what i need to do for a 97 civic ex? can i use a fuel return line from integra ?

 

pretty much everything is the same.

hope this helps.

 

thanks for the good info. someone told me i cant use a gsr engine harness in a 96-00 civic , is this true ?

 

you can use it. if you get the GSR harness, get the interior harness aswell
(the one that the harness itself plugs into and that one plugs into the ECU. pretty much the middle piece between the ECU and the engine harness)
you will also want to get the GSR ecu

 

thanks for the replies

 

im 99% sure you cant use the integra harness because its a 2 peice and the 96-00 is 1 peice, your civic harness is bascily plug and play with the b18 because you have vtec.
you may need a jumper cable for the ecu.
