I have a ZC motor right now that I put in and I'm swapping in a b16a1, I know I can get a mount kit from Hasport.com and a shifter linkage. But my worry is when it comes down to the wiring, If I buy the wire harness, is that all I need for the wiring? Or is there more wiring stuff to buy? The motor is coming with the ecu too, so I don't have to buy one, and is there anything else I need to get for this swap or any good tips you guys could give me?

 

you don't need to buy a wire harness. You re-use your stock wire harness. everything plugs up. You only have to add four wires: vtec solenoid, oil pressure switch, secondary o2 sensor, and knock sensor. Go here for details: http://b16a.honda-perf.org/theswap.html
Simple stuff if you know how to crimp wires together.

 

Go to hasport.com and buy there subharness for 75 bucks.

 

buy the sub-harness, and then you wiring is done, its that easy. Ryan

ps, you can visit my site for swap help. Ryan

 

Cool guys, Thanx. I figured if I bought the subharness I would be fine, but I really like to double check these things before I get to far ahead. Thanx

 

What about Axles, and some dent I was told to make for Alternator clearance?

Axles= 90-93 Integra, and depending on the mount kit and alternator belt, yuo may need to make a dent. I didn't. I simply used a short alt belt and my mounts mount the engine fairly far forward, it seems. They're from http://www.spituning.com

 

90-93 teg axles only work with a teg int shaft(xsi b16a). If your b16a is from a ef, you need custom made ones. Go to hasport.com for directions.

Use a shorter alternator belt, but I suggest making the dent as well. I have both the dent, and the shortet belt. I have about a half inch clearence. which is near perfect (Iguess). I have a hasport mount kit. Ryan
