Anyone have a good link to a step by step comprehensive guide through the entire removal process for the old CX engine and putting my new JDM b16 in?

I know how/what to do for most of it.. I just dont want to get stuck somewhere along the way with some stupid problem.. or forget to do something.. etc...

Anyone?

(btw i searched, do u have any idea how many people casually say "engine swap" or "b16 swap" in their posts? )

 

get a helms

 

B18c1 into 5th gen

B18C1... practically the same process. Alot harder than they make it out to be. They may casually say..."Remove this tranny bolt".
They don't tell you that you have to rip off the heat shield (with stripped bolts, of course ) and exhaust mani just to get to the damned bolt. Good luck!

PS, thats the JDM motor, so wiring will bne different too. I'm about to do the same swap. In the hybrid forum, some people tell me to use the stock Si harness and run new wires, while others say they had no problems using their JDM harness. I don't think you're prewired for VTEC tho , so once again, good luck !
