I am in search of a quite a few answers, and have been unable to find answers on the interwebs.
I am interested in swapping a b-series engine in a non-honda vehicle, I know a b-series engine can and will fit between my frame rails, I am able to fabricate mounts needed. The axles will have to be a hybrid set up, honda inner cv's with my car's outer cv's to get the proper spline for my hubs. I have the mechanics squared away, my questions are as follows:

1. What are the bare minimum wiring requirements for the honda ecu?
I know I need an engine side harness, and all necessary sensors, but will I need an interior harness for the honda ecu not to freak out?

2. I think I will have to swap in a honda instrument cluster, because I seriously doubt my stock cluster will read from the honda ecu.
2a. That being said, What are bare bones requirements for an early 90's civic cluster to function? I.E. tach/temp/fuel/mph.
2b. Does the cluster read straight from the engine's sensors or is it driven by the ecu?
2c. What ohms does a honda fuel sender read at empty/full?

I will probably have lots more, but those are the only ones I can think of right now. Thanks in advance.

 

What car are you looking to swap it into?













Please don't say a Saturn.....

 

I knew that would come up, Don't flame me. lol.

dropbox photo <clicky I cant get it to attach properly
My buddy has the civic, its has a jdm b16 swap.

 

What? No love for the plastic car?

swap in the LL0 and turbo it. At less of a complicated headache than dropping in a B series

edit: alot less**

 

Always people trying to be different just to be different.

 

It has an llo swap. The issue is the llo is a far worse platform than a b series. The llo can only handle 200ish HP with boost and you almost have to go with a full stand alone to make it reliable. A lsvtec swap would net me pretty close, I would have a better transmission with an LSD, and it would leave me with a far better platform. The MP series transmissions Saturn used like to eject the differential pin when beat on. And a LSD for the MP runs a $1000 bucks.
