I just bought a "New" used civic hatch since my old one got totaled. I have been looking online for an engine/ trans swap and i found a B16A sir gen 1, and i was wondering if since it is a JDM engine would i still be able to get parts from stores like advance, autozone, napa? or would i have to order online. any help is great or if you guys have other ideas for a swap please let me know.

Thanks again

 

I've had that swap in my EF hatch race car for several years, no problem getting parts. It's a ton of fun!

 

was there anything you had to make fit like motor mounts and would i have to change out the front hubs to fit the CV-axels or should they fit since this motor is coming out of a sir and i have the std 4 speed

 

they will fit.

 

well that's awesome looks like i know what im doing if i get a good settlement from this accident is there anything i would need to change tho

 

You can't get a distributor for it in the states that came on a vehicle stock over here. If you go OBD1 you'd have more options for that part. Search in the hybrid FAQ for details on that swap as there are plenty of write ups

 

I thought the b16a was obd1since it has voted but I don't know much about the B motors

 

I thought the b16a was obd1since it has vtec but I don't know much about the B motors sorry for re post I have a stupid smart phone

 

Can be OBD0, 1, or 2

 

one other question would i be able to hook up my factory AC to that motor or will i need to buy mounts?
