For a B16 swap you will need:

- B series shift linkage
- B16 motor (obviously)
- P2T ECU
- B series axles and half shaft
- B series hydraulic tranny

I would recommend re-using the EX harness to plug into your shock tower harness, unless of course you receive a US B16A2 swap from any 99-00 Civic Si, then the harnesses will clip right up and no wiring is necessary. It is 100% plug and play and bolt in.

As for 91tegrals, you have one strange sig my friend.

You could find a complete swap at a number of locations. The swap should come with motor, tranny, ecu, shift linkage, axles, and engine mounts. You could probably find a B16A for about 2300-2800 depending on the year, miles, and type.

You could start by checking:

hmotorsonline.com
importautosalvage.com
jdmshit.com

for pricing on the swaps that they have. I'd also, run a search on engine swaps or check the classifieds. Good luck

I would just find someone either selling or giving away a D-series short block, and take your time to find a B16 cheap. Unless you get lucky and find one soon but realisticly your probably going to get stuck waiting a long time for shipping and end up paying alot.

i dont think he will regret it especially since hes use to driving a dseries..a b16 is a great motor to work with..especailly for the price difference and availability of a gsr..and with the price difference spend some of the cash on the b16 and turn it into a gsr killer!
