Default eg b series automatic

i am working on a 95 civic factory automatic car. i have swapped in a ls out of a 91 da with matching auto tranny. i have read tons of threads and have searched for a week or so looking for info on wiring the tranny up but have failed. i know i know i know .... swap a manual... but the guy im building the car for has only a right leg. so thats out, ive pm'd people on here where i read they have built or could build harness for this cituation with no replys. i know im the new guy but a little help and information would help alot. i would pay for the information or pay someone to build me a harness. . . eaither way ... thanks in advance for not tareing me apart for doing an auto swap... lol

you can pick it up at your local autozone, assuming you're in the States. It has detailed wiring schematics for your transmission and motor, unless someone who knows this motor can give you more information.

best thing to do would be to get a 94-95 integra auto trans and motor with harness and put that in with the 94-95 ecu from there i dont see why it would not just be a plug and play. also integra have the worst auto trans he would have been better of with a sohc turbo with the auto trans

I ran into this problem back in the day when i had an auto del sol s and swapped a auto ls motor in. The car wouldnt shift and i was told that the integra auto has a tranny computer. If i remember it is on the driver side behind the fuze box area. You migh have to get the entire dash harness.

yes.. there is a transmission control module on the driver side firewall onder the dash. i dread sitting down and going trough all the schematics and doing this. i am very busy troughout the day and have minimal time to do this but i believe that i will have to suck it up and do it seeing how no one that has done this is chimeing in... thank yall for acknoledging me atleast lol. i may try to hold out another day or so and see what pops up and then by the weekend ill just have to suck it up and give it a shot...

I'm not too familiar with da integras, but you should easily be able to find a dc dash harness and computer at a junk yard.

I haven't got a copy of mitchell on this computer and i'm about 100 miles away from the one I have access to that does so I can't double check anything. That said, get a '92 - '93 Integra tranny, distributor, injectors (you can reuse the civic ones if you still have them) and ECU (and TCU if they have one). If there isn't a TCU the wiring wont be that bad, if it is there will be some wires to work. '90 - '91 ECU is OBD0 and is going to cause you a lot of headaches. Really a whole '92 - '93 swap would have been better, '90 - '91 Integras are only 130hp

I'm not certain, but don't the older integras have 240cc injectors? Honda didn't use a proper 4 amp, 1 amp peak and hold injector driver for their peak and hold injectors...that's why the ones that used them used a resistor box. At least in theory, if you can run a newer car with peak and holds by adding the resistor box, you should be able to run an older car on saturated injectors by eliminating it.

The dash harness plugs into the chassis harness on the 1992-95 Civic and 94-01 Integra. I have no idea if this would work, but could the civic dash harness plug into the integra under dash harness to have the wiring for the TCU but keep the plugs for the Civic cluster? Possible issues I see are the harness not hooking up to everything the Civic chassis has. The 92-95 civic under dash harness hooks to the ecu, runs along the firewall behind the dash mat, over to the fuse box and hooks up to a couple large connectors that go to a harness that goes through the other side of the car through the firewall and plugs into the other side of the engine harness. The under dash harness also runs through the firewall and connects to the under hood fuse box and wraps up to hook to the horn and passenger headlight.

I replaced the "under dash" harness in my 1993 LX sedan, and it was a pain.

I was under the impression that the EG couldn't have a B series auto trans. I thought it wasn't supposed to fit.

Yes, so do the '92 - '95 Civics (except CX/VX, seeing as how this is an original automatic car it had to be either D15B7 or D16Z6 powered)

Don't think so.

It wont clear at all in an EK, with some gental massaging (IE beating the **** out of the passenger's side frame rail with a hammer) it's supposed to fit in an EG (if you use a B16A M24A auto tranny I believe they just clear with no modifications. The hardest part about this swap is the wiring and fabbing up custom mounts, There is a guy on here that dropped a '94 - '95 auto LS swap into a '93 - '95 Coupe, xero xero I believe it was. He could probably clear up some stuff.
