sorry guys for changing the thread up abit...instead of trying to swap a b16...its now a 2000 b18b1 (i traded my b16 for a b18b1)....and i want to intall it on my 97 delsol...i blew my engine (d16y8) so im wondering what parts will i need for it to go in perfectly...example: motor mounts from what car?...axels?..please help so that i can know wat parts to buy...please be detailed..thanx guys

 

anyone?

 

please

 

help

 

can somebody help me with this please

 

del sol b series linkage. everything else should bolt right in. and you may not be able to use the ac bracket.

 

will p28 ecu work?...or do i need the b16 ecu..do i need to do anything to the harness?

 

so everything will fit perfect?

 

You didn't specify so, B series tranny (in case you don't have one)
Shift linkage from a del sol VTEC model, not an SI, an actual VTEC model
Axles and half shaft from a B series motor/tranny OBDI or newer
B16 ECU
It is recommended that you use B series mounts
B16 Throttle cable


The harnesses will clip in fine I think, I am not positive on an OBDII car.

 

throttle cable...oh ok..i think dats wat im missing...and linkage

 

updated info...please help guys...b18b1 into my 97 delsol

 

b18b1 swap

 

anyone?

 

help

 

will it fit with the b18 motormounts?

 

b series rear mount
b series axles
u can use ure ecu but b181 rev limit is 7.ks so p28 is like 81 i think use at ure own risk
n daz it u can even use ure old harness hit me up 4 info

 

i would send your p28 to phearable.net to have him chip it for the b18 for you i have one of his it runs my b16 better than my p30 in both performance and mpg

 

can i just use the stock ls computer?

 

yes u can use the stock ls computer ive dont this swap like 20 times

 

oh ok...so all the b series mounts will work...and will the lh harness work too?...or do i have to modify it?

 

everythings is just plug n play
if u cant find a delsol dovc shiflinkage make ur own go n get it welded to fit :D

 

you will definitely need a del sol B shift linkage, the B axle from the donor car, the drivers side B mount, the rear T bracket from the B engine, if you use the P28 ecu, you will get a check engine light for vtec. your b18b1 dont have vtec and the ecu will not sense the vtec solenoid, best bet is to get a obd1 P75 5spd ecu and sell your P28, you will actually make money that way, lol for the Ac, you will need the del sol P54 bracket on ebay for $115 shipped. I think thats about it. btw, the stock ls ecu will not work with your car unless you buy an obd jumper.

 

Damn that thing is gonna be fast if you do the swap. I have always liked Del Sol's they are like baby S2000's.

 

haha, not that fast bro, My del sol had ls/vtec with boost and I still think it was slow.... Del Sols are pigs, they are super heavy cause they all come fully powered and it has alot of extra reinforcements on them due to the targa top.

 

depending on the tranny you put in it can be quick, if you mate an ls motor and a b16, gsr, or type r tranny you will have a significantly quicker car than using an ls tranny, del sols aren't that heavy, sure they are heavier than they look but my del sol with me in it and a half tank of gas tipped the scales at 2710lbs.

get the axles b series mounts, do not make your own linkage just buy one, and grab an ls ecu, take your time and enjoy your car, its a fun motor.
