I've got a non-vtec 88 accord lx-i. I've also got a Civic del sol engine and a Si-R engine...I was wondering if anyone knew if these could fit in my car? How hard would the wiring harness be to swap out? What all would I need to do for this swap? Thanks for the help.

 

From my understanding only a B16A SiR-1 engine will work with the place racing boltin kit. I would call them (their webpage has been 'under construction' for like ... 4 months or more) and see what the deal is. Its also my understanding this swap is only in a coupe or sedan as the hatchback was different mount wise.. i cant confirm or deny that though.

The short answer to your question is YES. There is a H-T member (sorry i cant remember his name right now) who has done this to his 3rd Gen LX-i Sedan.

 

okay i found his username .. OldSchoolSwap

this is his webpage

He seemed like a really nice guy.. so get ahold of him.

thanks a lot, that's everything I needed!!!

 

I've also seen an H22 in a 3rd gen accord....anything is possible with $$$

 

True, but there is no mount kit for the H22 yet that i know of.
My swap however was also a custom job of welding and so on back on 98. PlaceRacing did not have the mount kit that they do today. If you cruise my site under "new engine" page, you will find all the info on place racing mounts, wire harness modification, axles, shift linkage mod and a few more things that can be done such as a bracket to keep your existing AC compressor and more!

Anyhow, hope this helps

 

yeah it really did help....thats exactly what i needed to hear. I'm gonna be putting a 95 del sol engine in it...I know its a b-series, i believe its the B16A2....anyway, thanks for all the help.

 

You got it bud! Any more questions, i'll be glad to help.
BTW, got a web page?

 

haha good idea! I'll work on a webpage...so as you can see as to what progress I am having. thanks again.

 

Have you ever been to http://3geez.com before?

 

nope! but thanks for showing me!

 

Someday I want to swap a B18C into my 87 Accord DX rustbucket. The ultimate sleeper...

 

Im with ya there... I was considering making a 3G my winter project a month ago.. I mean for almost pocket change you could have one.

someone talked me out of it for now thought

ugh women
