I was wondering who all has done this swap and if there was any major problems and also how fast is it.

 

you really shouldnt ask these types of questions in this forum..speaking from experience..anyways the swap should go in with no problems..be sure to get new spark plugs, plug wires, timing belt, water pump, clutch and tensoner pulley before putting in the swap..and its not going to be OMG fast..i would think in a stripped out hatch mid to high 15's..

this swap will turn a turd civic hb into a car that is actually barable to drive and to be proud to drive.
the swap is very straight forward depending on what hatch you have all you will have to do is wire up a 4 wire o2 sensor which isin't that hard

what are you talking about.... all you need is a LS obd1 ecu and after everything is plug and play

 

I have, it's easy, and it's a mid 15 second car.

 

i ran 15.2, full interior and a/c, nothing stripped with intake and exhaust, i am happy with my LS, it was a really easy swap

 

Like everyone said it is a pretty strait forward swap. I'd stick with a '94 or newer B18B for simplicity's sake. If you go with '96 or newer just search for a P74/P75 ecu ('93 to '95 obd1 ls) and all the wiring will be plug and play. One item that is commonly not thought of or is not included is the throttle cable. You need the one from the integra or you are going to have to make your own mount for the civic cable.

As far as the OMG just crapped my pants fastness! Well, if you have been driving an 8 valve 70 hp D15b8 CX every day for the past 3 years then at first it will feel that fast. You get used to the power quickly, but it certainly does for some power like everyone said. For cost, power, and difficulty I give it a . I'm very content with it and I'm looking forward to boost this summer.

 

i agree with g__man80, its way better than the SOHC, just boost it and you really wont regret it. do as i did>>>>>>

I like that, although, it would be hard to detect an oil leak, i'm sure you've heard that already though.

Mine.



my equally bad-*** all motor set-up.

 

i have seen high 14's witht the LS swap (intake only)

i have killed some low 15 second cars around here, so i hope that i can break 14's with my LS...i have an intake and that is all

 

I have an ls swap in my 92 si and I think it sucks. still get killed by other vtec hybrids. I think the only way to make it ok is to get a better geared tranny. ls tranny sucks
