hey everyone well I am building a good swap to put into my 92 CX Hatch. Let me tell you what it all has. It's decent but I am in school so money is tight. Tired of my little 70 horses. Well its a B16 block with Type R exhast manifold for 100 bucks not too bad. I got a delsol intake manifold and a B16 head. 94 - 95 GSR distributor. need some recommendations on trannies that will bolt up. also can I use my stock CX harness and a SOHC ECU basically saw on honda hybrid that i can run the extra wires seperate. Oops one more question can I use my stock motor and tranny mounts or will some need to be substituted. some one please help this swap is almost done just need a little bit more info. and a little more parts and cash.

 

Any b-series tranny will work for it. I suggest a transmission out of an Integra LS/RS/GS, because they are very easy to come by, relatively cheap, and very nicely geared.

 

I thought those Integras have cable trannies?
Don't I need a hydraulic one?
My Civic is a 92 - 95 and I don't want to get the Hasport kit to
convert it over? Correct me if I am wrong cause I am still new to the game.

 

if you get a hydraulic tranny from a b series engine, it'll bolt up to 92+ civic. you can use your stock cx harness and add the vtec wires etc. you can use the sohc ecu but it has to be reprogrammed to the right specs. you need integra motor mounts as well.

 

the older integra ls trannies were cable, but any 94+ are definetely going to be hydraulic. but like the other guy said, any b-series tranny will work (i.e. 99+ Civic Si, del sol vtec, integra [gsr or ls]).

 

One more question can I use my stock axles and shift linkage or will I need B-series stuff. Thanks so much guys I now know all the missing parts I need! Its not too much just p28 ecu, tranny, and mounts. so if anyone is selling anything cheap in NY get back to me ....

yeah, you'll need b series axles and shift linkage.
