So after owning two civics I decided that my third one was going to actually get some nice modifications and thanks to the local junkyards 50% off sale and my christmas vacation it happened.

I went to the junkyard thinking that i was just going to dream about the B18s and B20s magically appearing in my 88 4dr DX and after looking I spotted a fresh 91 EX 4dr that I knew was going to make me happy. So I pulled the intake manifold, ecu and luckily got a complete harness off a DA that was already torn apart sitting next to the EX and I even got lucky and got the guy behind the counter that didnt know anything so my cart didnt get picked apart like the other guys would have. Well i got home and realized I didnt get the distributor and plug that I needed so I spent all night at work praying that someone wouldnt come by and take it, I got lucky and it was still there and even got a new steering wheel(although my horn doesnt work now).

Im going to post up pictures after work tonight but everything went smoothly except the new dizzy cap and rotor were bad and caused me to think I did something wrong holding up my drive time for bout 6 hours while i checked my already wrapped wire harness. BTW this swap is awesome and every question I had was answered by google and 90% of the answers came from good ole honda-tech

 

Before


Half-Way thru


95% Finished

 

Good job. Hope you cleaned that wiring up looks a little sloppy.

 

And get the right throttle cable

 

Yes the wiring was the other 5% haha and the intake. The cable seems to be working fine for now but I am going to get another one. Ill get another picture of it tomorrow

 

Wires all cleaned up.


I also converted my ps9 ecu to manual.

 

Looks good man.

 

I'd trim the upper radiator hose a tad too. Looks like it has a kink in it. Good job on the swap though and thank you for using google. So many n00bs do not.
