Sup guys.. I ve been on this site for a while, mostly on the the accord forum.. I just picked up an 89 si yesterday from a friend... i have alot of questions regarding swaps.. ive never done a swap on anything under 92.. well guess thats it.. i will be askin questions when im ready to do my swap.. thanks guys

 

 

hey sup, i been trying to get a crx too and do a b16 swap on it. i was wondering how hard is it, cus when i propose the idea to my friends all they do is laugh.. but the way i see it, if someone else can do it, why cant i.. can anyone give me some pointers on how things goes, ive been reading alot on the forums, but it seems everyone here already had experience with swapping engines, so we are not in the same boat. i know i need to continue reading and i will. i also need a cherry picker and garage full of tools. the crx, the engine, the mounts, a buncha other stuff i am not quite fimilar with yet, but will learn later when i actualy have the car.. anyways thanks in advance for any pointers.. latez.. gonna go drive my regular civic now..

 

In over your head man. Hire someone to do it. Vtec wiring can be a bitch

 

Not true - I did my own swap starting out from zero knowledge, in my own garage, with hand tools, just like these guys. It can be done!

 

So how long did it take you with your zero knowledge skills?

 

2 months evenings and weekends (working full-time)

 

2 months only? sweet... ok, i am convinced, wohoo.. gonna go bucket shopping this weekend!!

maybe first ill just try removing my engine then putting it back..
or maybe start with a zc since it requires mostly stock parts
