Got a 96 civic ek coupe, originally had a d16y7 and a 5speed. Picked up a b18b1 swap out of a 96 integra this weekend. i got complete engine, trans, shift linkage, axles etc.
After using the search function and google for most of the day, i have come up with some stuff i needed to make this swap happen.
I ordered a 99 si post mount for the engine on driver side
i ordered a 99 si t-bracket.
New clutch, timing belt set, and a engine gasket kit.

I want to keep my a/c and power steering. i found some really good threads, however were kind of confusing.
First off, to keep my a/c i will need a a/c mount from a crv.. what year crv bracket will i need?
Power steering, from what i gather, i cannot use the integra power steering pump as the fitting is different at the pump. .. am i able to use the integra line to the rack?, or do i need a 99 civic si pump or a crv pump?
Attached is a couple pics of the engine i picked up.

 

This is the one i just bought if you want the a/c bracket new. if you want used the crv you need to look for is the one with the b20, i think 97 to 01? it used a d series ac comp on a b series motor.

You will need the A/C bracket from a '97-01 CRV... for P/S, simply get the aluminum P/S bracket from the same CRV and you can bolt your Civic P/S pump directly to it.

 

You can use a '98 - '01 Integra PS pump which will bolt up to that bracket and connect to you PS lines or use a '97 - '01 CR-V bracket. AC bracket needs to come from a '97 - '01 CR-V

 

A/C
- 97-01 CRV A/C bracket with tensioner and adjuster bolt
- Your D-series pump
- 97-01 CRV A/C belt
- With this it all bolts up like stock. No need to even remove your pump during the swap, just bungee it to the core support and bolt it back on once the B18 is in.

PS
- Easiest is finding a 56110-P2T-G02 pump from 99-2000 Si
- 56997-P30-010 99-2000 Si Upper bracket
- 56994-P30-000 99-2000 Si Lower bracket


These are the parts I used on my 97 LX B16A2 swap and it all fit and works like factory.

 

The upper VTEC P/S bracket does NOT work on a non-VTEC engine or cylinder head... so the 56997-P30-010 from a '99-00 Si is incorrect information. If you want to swap to a "B" series P/S pump, you can use the brackets that are already on the engine you have pictured above... you will not need to replace them UNLESS the tab for the wing-nut adjustment bolt needed to pull the pump up incorrectly places the hole over the threaded hole in the pump. As for which P/S pump will work... it needs to have the same fitting style as your existing Civic P/S high pressure line. The Integra pump you have pictured has a high pressure line inlet that is typically referred as the "large diameter, inline style" and I believe, if my memory suits, that the fitting on your Civic P/S line is the "small diameter, offset style"... and they are not compatible.

The easiest way to deal with the P/S IS as I stated above: Use your existing P/S pump and high pressure hose already in your Civic and find a CRV P/S bracket at your local pull-a-part... or order one from any Honda Parts Department.

 

 

Thanks for the correction. Comment edited.

 

thanks for all the good info. i ordered a 98 crv ac bracket and power steering bracket to make it simple.

i picked up a 97 civic ex yesterday for 250$ for parts. - pulled the power steering line off the rack, and the pump, and compared the fitting at the pump to the integra high pressure line, and it was identical except for the bends in the line at the rack side... so between those two lines, and the bracket i think i should be able to make it work.
I also have a p75 ecu from the integra, is this the correct ecu i need to use for my swap?

 

P75 OBD2A should work for your application. Since you have the engine and tranny apart, replace the clutch and resurface the flywheel. Don't forget the rear main seal. Better do it now than 2 months later when **** starts to leak.

 

 

Re-using the Honda flywheel bolts is fine, if you use threadlocker with them. As for rounding off the 12pt head, not sure how that's even possible unless you/someone else was using an air gun to bolt them down.....which is a no-no.

 

 

Use 12-point or you're screwed.

 

Where you located? I have the PS brakets and pump off a 99 JDM B20B that I just put in my 95 LS if you need them lmk

 

thanks for the tips on the ecu, and clutch.
I did order a act clutch kit off ebay , and a "ebay" flywheel
Also picked up an engine gasket kit from rockauto, and a arp head stud kit aswell.
Picked up a set of supertec valve springs and retainers from a buddy of mine that he didnt end up using in his build along with new valve seals.
the last few days after work have been spent cleaning, and degreasing the transmission. just threw a coat of paint on it this evening .
stripped the paint off the valve cover aswell, have plans on painting it , but not sure what colour i am going to do, or if i am going to try and polish the aluminum.
only one pic is the painted trans i finished up tonight.
Short of buying new bolts, has anyone tried painting bell housing bolts, and the various bracket bolts so they dont look like crap?
also @egsleepercivic. i am in Bc, Canada. i think i located the p/s bracket, but havent been able to source the a/c bracket. the local pick and pull has 3 crv's, all of which are missing the engines and brackets. Ebay seems pretty expensive for a small hunk of metal.

before cleaning , priming and painting


2 coats of primer, 1 coat of high heat silver

 

 

probably 6 hours , 18 beers, and 3 evenings were spent cleaning that sob. i mean really, i guess it doesnt have to be painted, but **** it right, i figure it will be easier to spot oil leaks and such, and i think it will look good. Block is going to be the same "as cast" colour, and the head its pretty clean as it is.
Tried searching for people that polished there valve cover rather than painting it. cant find anything. has it been done?

 

 

I have the crv ac bracket too, lmk I can put a pic up later

 

Ya I def need the ac bracket. Shoot me a price and shipping for the bracket. That would be a huge help.
going to start prepping And painting the block and random brackets and such this weekend. It's been a bit of a heat wave here so been hard to spend more than 4 or 5 hours out in the sun. See how far I get. Also have some basic stuff to do to my f150 to get it somewhat reliable so I still have some transportation while I tear the civic apart.

 

 

Ls swap f150 would be pretty killer. I bought the f150 brandnew in 2000 when I was 20. So there is some sentimental attachmebt there. She needs some basic stuff. Been neglecting her latley. I have been watching a few YouTube channels, and guys are swappinging 5.3's into there 350z's . Those things would be rocket ships.
i work at a Ford dealer as a technician the last 5 years, and had the opportunity to buy a 1985 mustang lx 4cyl car with 60k KMS original on it, 1 owner. So I picked that up a couple years ago. Not sure what my plans are for that, but perhaps an ls swap will be in the future

The mustang lx

 

 

Definitely an engine swap to get that 4cyl out of there. Rb26 would be a good swap, but was thinking a 1jz
