Looking to find out whats require and a good way to start setting up for a j swap in a civic.. More or less throwing around ideas for my next setup..

 

hasport mounts, hasport axles, custom harness (RPM or chase or diy), j or k shifter box. hybrid makes the best one. front springs that can support the extra weight. make sure you get a cable throttle motor and avoid the pre-coil on the plug ones if you want to make real power. and an ecu that corresponds with your engine. best combo is a j35 or j32a2 with a 6 spd TL type s trans. i had everything ready to swap in my eg and sold it all to go H2B instead. theres a number of guys in NC that have them and the work involved (so they said) isnt much more than a typical h or k. worth it if you dont mind trading a hacked up hood for some serious all motor torque.

 

Derek if you didnt see that im parting out my turbo B build on facebook or not. But i have been researching doing this for sometime. Now im set on doing it. Also for the fact that what ever happens at the end.. I can always use the parts on the accord i picked up as a daily.

Hit me up on facebook.

 

with the second generation of hasport mounts you don't have to cut your hood. you can use them two ways, one gives less ground clearance then the other. with the j30 and j32 you'll be fine, with any larger or using them in the other configuration you'll need to cut your hood.

only other thing you might need to worry about is the immobilizer. some helpful info on j32a.com
