Hi I just purchased a b16a1 engine only to swap into my 91 civic dx currently have a jdm zc in car what will need to be done for swap to work??? My mechanci tells me it will cost around 1500 dollars to make it work??? Please help any info would be amazing thanks!

 

you need a transmission, you need motor mounts, you need shift linkage, you need axles, you need to convert from DPFI to MPFI, you need to accomodate all the wiring changes, you need an ecu, you need a mechanic that knows what he is doing and can tell you all this.

 

The tranny in it won't work? And engine came with
Motor
All required Cables
Complete Intake Manifold
Alternator
A/C
Power Steering Pump
All Brackets and Sensors

 

The transmission will not work.. Thats great it came as a complete long block but you still need everything I mentioned.

 

ALSO.. New clutch kit and might as well do water pump and timing belt.

I've got a tranny , an axles now, were could I pick up some full wiring harnesses??
Thanks

 

You dont pick up a wiring harness. You just add the wiring you need. You seriously need a mechanic. You should be asking around for people that can do your swap instead of worrying about trying to figure out how to piece it together. Where do you live?

 

I live in Powell River Bc canada its not a big town so not a lot of resources,

 

Thanks for all the help! Got all needed parts and I'm going to send my b16 harness and my current civc harness into hasport!

 

ive just got mine done.
you need b series mounts
axles
ecu of your choice (most go with p28)
you need a obd1 ecu jumper, and like stated about you need plugs and wires added to your harness
also it helps if you get a obd1 conversion kit.
if you have access to a 90-93 DA integra, use it to your advantage.
you will also need either DA hubs, or 88-91 civic sedan hubs (i found mine at a local junkyard for $62 for both of em)
IF you want to stay with a cable transmission use an LS tranny from the DA.
but if you want a hyrdo, ayou need to buy the hyrdo to cable bracket.
you also need to bang in the frame a little bit on the driver side to allow clearance for your alternator.

also you need to get the DA integra int. shaft, as well as the rear tranny bracket.
you have to order ef b series shift linkage (or if you are crafty, you can use the DA, and modify it) but trust me....just buy the kit.


i think i covered everything lol

you can use hasport.com and a couple of other websites that i just now forgot lmao
