im going to be swappin in a b16 into my 93 si hatch and i was wondering if the cruise control would still work? and also what do i need to make the power steering work and ac??

 

anyone?

 

on my friends, all I did was bolt on his pressure hose to the p/s pump on the B16. The other p/s lines stayed on the car during the swap and were of no concern.

Cruise control worked fine.

A/C we took out.

 

my B16 power steering pump did not match up w/ the old pressure hose, so I installed the single cam pump on the B16, and tried a few belts till I found one that worked

it worked on his. We didn't have a problem with belts cause he bought AEM pulleys and they came with the right belts

 

so is it possible to use the power steering and mount from d16 for the b16?

 

mount no, pump yes...but it is not a direct fit, you have to "make it work" you will need to find the right size belt that will tension enough to push the pump. I did it on my car...wasn't pretty but it got the job done.

 

agreed, you need the pump mounts for a b-series engine, pump and hoses will all transfer over, just make sure the crank pulley and power steering have matching belt types (v rib or 3 rib)

 

Yes. Of course. It truely is plug and play as everyone says.

The cruise control is actually pretty independant from the engine. It interfaces with the VSS, brake and clutch pedal and operates through the gas pedal assembly.

wussy suck it up and lose them all....maybe cruise control i can see but ac and ps screw em

 

cruise control is the worst man, makes you a lazy unaware driver and adds a second to your braking time just so you can get your foot to the pedal.... for cruise.

 

i disagree, I only use cruise on the open highway... I drive 25K miles/year, mostly when I go home from school for a weekend (300 miles round trip), so cruise is a savior for my leg and back muscles.

 

i drive 6 hours each way from MA to NJ once a month, non-stop, uphill(both ways), with tien ra's, racing bucket, and 5point harness... NO CRUISE... b/c im a MAN... BITCH!

j/k i used to like cruise too for comfort reasons, but i found myself daydreaming too much and not paying enough attention to the road. personal prefernece.

 

well i personally love cruise, and id get rid of ps, but a power steerin car w/o power steering is alot harder to drive then a car that comes w/o power steering, plus i just got used to power steering
