I have a carbon fiber hood with the middle lifted so it can clear the gsr motor - I have a d16 in it now. OBD1 with the vtec wired up. I know I need motor mounts, how should I deal with the shiftlinkage, axels and what ever else I left out?
Any help would be great.

 

Give us what you have for the swap, and we will tell you what you need or send you in the right direction to get it.

 

motor , harness , ecu - no axels, no mounts

 

Ok so you need shift-linkage-HA-sport will have that

I am taking that you know to get such things as new plugs, wires, cap, rotor, oil filter, oil, flush the radiator, brake fluid, pads maybe. When I did my swap I was not thinking about stopping, I put a B16 into a CRX and if I kept the stock brakes, I do not know if they would have stopped the car at WOT.

So I would get bigger brakes. 90-93 integra brakes bolt on.
extra money for stuff that you did not know about, I had to replace my CV boot and the radiator and starter 2 weeks after.

If I think of anything else I will post it.

 

dont worry about getting bigger brakes..my car stops perfectly fine with stock size. but yeah basically everything else they mentioned. good luck

 

Don't forget you either need a cable tranny or a hydro to cable adapter (Or is it cable to hydro?).

 

A clutch would be wise to do while the motor is out of the car.

Good advice... and it goes without question a new clutch disc should be installed any time the motor is out.

But I think the original posters’ (Range) question was more geared to actual SWAP pieces needed to complete a swap instead of normal maintenance type items. Replacing the clutch /surfacing the flywheel, new pressure plate, release bearing , pilot bearing… AND input shaft seal should be done no question. At the very least if it’s a low mileage drivetrain trans and engine should be split, and everything inspected, clutch contact surfaces de-glazed and metal to metal contact surfaces re-lubed.

A thing to add to the list: ALL coolant hoses. Most remember the upper and lower radiator hoses but forget about the “other” ones on the intake manifold and such. Much easier on most cars /motors to get at them while the engine is out.

While the engine it out it’s a good time to clean the engine compartment… and maybe take a look at wiring harness looms to make sure none are worn, or have been cut. Good time to clean Multi-Plugs connections with electrical contact spray, then put on a coating of die-electric grease on all contact surfaces.
