Hey guys, just wanted to share some pics of my swap and I thought maybe someone might find it useful... I ordered my engine from hmotorsonline and got it within two weeks... came very well packaged and clean: Steve gets a Its a B16a with S1 trans...



only problem i had was a messed up alternator belt: replaced with one from a 99-00 si


code check

I have a type r intake and cams: side by side of intakes


to use the type r intake, you need an eacv from a 92-95 civic si/ex and a fuel rail from an 94+del sol or gsr...


aem fuel rail from a 94+ gsr

type r intake put together

old trusty d16

d16 out


my dad grinding away the front mount

front mount gone

bang out this area for alternator clearance


AXLES:
you dont need these two parts



our work area


And finally the motor in:

wonderful job, great pics have a blast with it!
what tranny did u run? u put a new clutch in? waterpump/timing belt? new fluids?

 

B16a/S1 Trans
stock clutch for now...
new timing belt/new waterpump/ fresh 5w30 castrol synthetic/new trans fluid/fresh coolant

 

1st engine I got from steve...3rd Gear Synchro was out, no hoses, intake manifold was cracked, intake manifold gasket wasn't there

2nd engine I got from steve...extemely bad clutch, valve cover was damaged, didn't give me shift linkage

to HONdAMotorsONLinE

 

Looks great. Looks like the engine came in great condition.

 

All I can say is, those are some freaky air horns you got there.

 

This thread isnt about how HMO screwed people over. Nice motor bro I'm f&*kin jealous.

 

Nice VC, Nice IM, Nice Cams, Nice JOB!

Looks like a beauty of a swap, and very professional looking!

 

pics are awesome..looks like you 2 did a clean job..nice looking valve cover, who painted it???

 

Nice Clean Swap

 

it's a different valve cover, look at the black one. the DOHC is big, but on the red one the VTEC is big

 

got any pics of the car?

 

nice pics

 

is that the b16a throttle body? why dont you upgrade since you are now using the itr mani...

 

looking good man, i just got mine done like a week ago, got it from steve , prepare to get crap gas mileage Yo!! b16a+S1 on the highway= high RPM's
i have the exact same setup almost no itr manifold though

 

is the J1 worse than the S1?

 

they have the same gearing. the ys1 is the shortest

 

swap is looking great man your motor came in great cond. you will love it i sure as hell love mine just keep it between the lines

 

nice swap...thats actually not true what you said about needing a different fuel rail when doing the ITR manifold swap...all you really need is an obd1 IAT to relocate into your air intake tube, instead of using the one in your #2 runner of the manifold.

Good job, looks clean otherwise!

BEAUTIFUL!

 

looks good, now time for fun=

DRIVE

 

muhuhahaha... that's what my b17a has.

 

Just noticed that you bought the 99/00 Si alternator belt, is this the belt that is an inch shorter and makes it so you don't have to dent the frame rail? I bought the 94 Del Sol VTEC belt, but it isn't here yet, I dented the frame rail but would like to also use the shorter belt to gurantee clearance.

 

thanks for all the kind words guys... the valve cover is from a civic type r(or so i was told) , its my nice one, i have a black one cut to tune the cam gears...
yeah its the b16 throttle body: funds ran out before i could upgrade
i decided to upgrade the fuel rail anyways so i didnt have to mess around with anything else...

and yes the alternator belt is shorter, but i still made the denting anyways just to be on the safe side
