Im putting my j32a2 into my 2000 acura integra ls.
I have the motor and trana (type s), i would like to know a list, of all the parts needed to so the swap. Such as, ecu, wiring harness, mounts, axles so on. I need to make sure i get everything, and have everything properly budgeted, so i can come up with a realistic time frame, to have the entire swap done. Again, thanks in advance
You won't get spoon fed this. time to do some research and learn
If you arent going to answer my question, then reframe from commenting on my post. You think i should look it up? I didnt come here for your opinion. I asked a simple question, a list of the things needed. I look into the parts and brands that i actually buy. Im not car savvy, thats why i have a mechanic. So answer my question, or have a good day sir.
I mean, im simply asking what parts of my car, i have to swap. Ill do the rest myself lol. Im a busy man. I have better things to do, then surf the web. So those who already know, please lmk.

This is why this forum is going to hell. No one wants to LEARN they want to have someone do it for them. I'm not directing that to you, just in general. 10 years ago I did my first B swap while not being a member of HT, I went and bought a chiltons, and hit the internet to start reading about them. Trust me YOU WILL BENEFIT from taking the time to LEARN this stuff and not just having someone do it for you or tell you how to do it. Is your mechanic with you 24/7? Probably not. UNDERSTANDING your car and how it works is paramount to YOUR success. Don;t take my comment as an insult, take it as a point in the right direction. If you can't see what I'm trying to say then I don't know what to tell you. Ask SPECIFIC questions, not just how do I put this in my car and what do I need. No one here has that amount of time. It starts with YOU. We are all more than happy to help if you're willing to help yourself. My build thread is a PRIME example of the info available to this community if you look around. So again, not a personal attack, just a push to get your mind loose.

Bro, im not into cars as much as you. You have to understand that. I have no desire, to learn the mechanics. I buy the parts, he outs them in. Idky that bothers you so much. I dont have the time to do all that kinda work. But that doesnt mean i shouldnt have or dont deserve to have my car the way i want. Im doing what i can. But again, all i want, are the parts to be swapped. Not what parts or brands to usex or what it all does. Just what i need to know, to even look up. All that typing you did, and you could of made a lost, like this,
1 ecu
2 wiring harness
3 axles
4 etc
Thats all i wanted. Ill do the rest. Why is that so complicated or so much to ask? Ive tried to look up a list, and the link you gave me pops up, telling me a bunch of things, i dont need to, or have a desire to know. Think of this like trade school comoared to college. Imma trade school kinda guy. I only wanna know what i need to. College, you have to take core classes, and i dont need those. Make sense? Can you help me bro, or naw?
Easiest way is with a donor car. Outside of that you're gonna need to research. I will say Hasport mounts are the best and I prefer insane shaft axles.

Im getting the mounts and probably their axles. But thank you.

Okay, so this guy is a little bit better than that kid in the Accord section begging for advice on how to lift the engine on his slammstanced car so he didn't burn through oil pans.
But not by much.
If you don't have the time or the care to learn about 'the mecahnics of how it works' then please just go away. This forum is for people DIY-repairing their cars or enthusiasts looking for knowledge on how to go faster, or the other experienced enthusiasts supplying that knowledge. Take the time you would have used here to work more hours so you can pay someone else to do all the finger-walking and heavy lifting because that is exactly the sort of person you sound like. You do not just 'deserve' to have your car the way you want it. You earn it, by working for money to pay someone to do it for you, or by learning how to do it yourself. You will receive help, but you have to prove that you are as intellectually and or physically vested in the project as much as you seem to expect us to be. As high profile and relatively exotic a swap as this would be, information should be relatively easy to find, if it does exist.

While that can be understood, the person doing the swap and labor should be a person/shop that is experienced in the field and know whats needed and or find out how to do it properly. Not take the parts and info and put it together and hope everything goes together and works. If theres not a shop thats near you ship it to a well known shop like LHT performance! they will do all the work right just give them that engine and they will build everything themselves and tune it! They just finished a LS V8 swap in a S2000 and it looks stock like it came with the engine from the factory!
I'm not here for opinions ppl. To the gentleman earlier, the reason this forum is dying, is because you ppl subject new comers to what you think we should be doing with out time, and if we have time to be on the forum we have time to blah blah blah. Look, I don't claim to k own what yall do with yalls time, or how valuable it is to you. So don't claim to know mine. Read, read, read. That's all yall keep saying. I wish yall would go back and read read read, when I said, if you're not going to help me, or answer my post, then simply don't comment. Idc how yall feel, or who yall compare me to. This is simply ridiculous to be honest. So what yall took the time to do this and that. That'd what yall are into, and what yall want to do. I want to swap my car for the 2nd time. I just got into the Honda scene a year ago. This is by far the most ridiculous, petty, and non productive thread I've ever seen in my life. Kindly give me a part list, or continue to scroll on. I'm not commenting on anyone else's post with irrelevant opinions, please don't on mine. Jesus christ!

We do not subject newcomers to any expectation of what they should do with their time, other than that they do the legwork that they CAN. Now that they want, not what they care, what they [B]CAN[/]. Even J-swaps are getting to the point where there is detailed documentation on them. Just about everything to do with these cars has been documented at this point, and the only time that we actively shut-down newcomers is when they sound like you, asking to be spoon-fed information. Especially when they have the entitled, expectant attitude that you stormed into this sub-forum with.
This is by far the most ridiculous, petty, and non productive thread I've ever seen in my life.
Mounts
ECU
Custom wiring (wirewirx, chase bays, rpm solutions if stock ecu is used)
swap axles
shifter box that matches the transmission you're using (accord 6 speed box is different than cl type s 6 speed box)
shift cables (k series works fine)
stiffer front springs
half size radiator
custom exhaust/header

I hope that settles it and everyone can move on.
Omg! Thank you! That took you all of what? 2 mins To write out? All that time wasted. I greatly appreciate it. You gave me even more info then required. Idky that was so hectic to get out of you ppl! Now, I will go look up exactly what brands and such I'm ganna use, and what works best. As much hell as yall have made such a simple and petty topic, I'll still let everyone know how it goes, along with pics. I'll also be starting a YouTube page for it, once it's done. Also, I'm ganna use aem as far as the ecu, hasport mounts, and axles. I'm really excited to do this! Around where I live, this will be unheard of and blow ppls Minds. The hasport motor mounts make it so I don't have to cut my hood, so I can keep it a sleeper. Thanks again, for answering my question. I'll be sure, to really reeeeeeally, think before I post here again for some help tho. Since yall seem so nice to deal with (sarcasm). I'm very willing to do my own research btw. But yall are being ridiculous, if you think ppl won't skip extra work, if possible. It's simply RETARDED, to waste time like that, if it's avoidable. It's not about being lazy, or w.e. anyway, this list will be put to use, so thanks Honda tech, even thru all the bullshit.
LOL. I gave you the links DAYS ago. GTFOH with your sarcastic BS. The links I provided weren't nearly as vague as his post. It's pathetic a vague list of 8 things is what you created a thread over. That's basic, like getting soap shampoo and toothpaste at the store...well for some people. Put that huge extensive helpful list to use and LMK how far your "mechanic" gets.
Hondaracing84, not a stab at you... your 22" slicks are still holding up well

They did real well. Took me to 11.7 on all motor B series but I started to run out of gear, so I sold them.
Wouldn't have mattered, I would have had to get 23s anyways. Im J series now. Way too much torque for 22s.

There you go again, with your useless, irrelevant opinion. The thing I didn't ask for, that you seem to give the most
I didn't ask for your link, I asked for what parts I needed to do. As for my mechanic, he's a very busy man. He does alot of work for home da scene in my area. I came here for a reason that I FELT NECESSARY! Period end of discussion.
He's done my previous swap, and many ppl I know. So pipe down with you're irrelevant bullshit. I thought I told you to go else where with useless post.

You kinda set yourself up for the response you got...
1)there's part lists/full builds all over H-T and j32a.com.
2)You named the thread "I'm doing an all motor, j32 swap" when:
A) You're not doing it, your mechanic is
B) Ofcourse it's all motor, it's stock!
C) By your title, people probably anticipated a nice J32 build with high compression, rods, cams, headwork, headers, etc. but instead got a moron asking for a simple parts list for the thousandth time

3)What do you mean you'll "do the rest"? You want us to supply all the info and "my mechanic" to do all the work. What exactly are you doing except laying out the money?
And BTW, the forum is dying because of people like YOU. We get tired of seeing the same simple question asked on a daily basis, clogging up the forum, when it could've been EASILY searched for. You could've had the info 10 times by the time you waited for a reply. And then, when someone tells you to search(and they were right in doing so), you get hostile, talk **** and start acting all self important.

HAHA "I'm a busy man" Who says that? We're all busy, if there's something you want bad enough, you'll find the time...And you really proved that you "have better things to do the surf the web" by constantly checking back here and leaving lengthy replies pissing and moaning like a *****, INSTEAD OF SEARCHING AGAIN. Where you could've found your answer 100 more times with the time you spent on those replies.
