Could anyone tell me if this will work? If so could you link to where someone has the complete break down and everything you’ll need. I have a 1996 Honda Civic lx sedan

 

No won't work sorry.

 

Motor, tranny, mounts, ecu, axles no problem

 

Of course it works... it has been done literally THOUSANDS of times !!!

It works but it’s not easy and it’s time consuming. It’s easier if you start with a manual transmission car and install a manual transmission from a B series hydro clutch car.
ask yourself if you really want to dedicate the time for a project like this, if it’s really worth it to you.
it was a common swap 20 years ago.
my recommendation is to just buy the car with the engine you want to save the hassle.
buy a K series Civic in my opinion. Unless you’re really up for a project, just buy a 02-11 Civic with a K series already and you’ll accomplish what you wanted out of the B series engine swap.

exhaust
you can use oem or aftermarket your choice to change (I do however suggest go straight the $350-450 eBay mass rep but true BIG TUBE** ” header to 3” outlet. the go 3” exhaust full like truebendz. . Then3” muffler tip of ur. Choice. (This way u do it COMPLETELY ONCE and never look back this route cost 1k total give or take. And MAXIMIZE performance of na off the bat GET A FLEX PIPE FOR SURE these shitty eBay mass produce. Cracks easily
and honestly if I was you any eBay header
reweld it if u got access

single use 1.75” exhaust
b stock uses 2.25

i suggest go 2.5” all the way cheap route very cheap cost $250-500 aftermarket header full exhaust axleback
honestly
ebay test pipe. eBay whole exhaust
and a QUALITY axle back. Is perfectly fine for me. Running for years

eBay test pipe and full exhaust 2. The 5” but really 2.35. RSR axle back . SOUNDS BEAUTIFUL

i def wish I went full 3” from gecko
but it’s okay I was a kid

if I can redo

True big tube smsp header 4-4sidebyside-2-11(remember not tri y where it’s 4/2/2 on top of each other-1 those r trash
or rmf big oval


Then true bendz 3” full exhaust
and 3” muffler

but oh well I’m cheating. 2.5” full exhaust with turbo lol so f 3”
but if u a na guy u need 3” no matter what to maximize performance of na. Someone did a test with a stock b16 on Honda tech
3” beats “2.5 aka 2.36” all over

if u actually need step by step instructions

send me a pm. And I’ll send you a very descriptive video on how to what to do. Talking about it not typing it out
