i am going to do a b 18 swap, need to know all the things i need for this. Also if anyone knows a web site to go to for tips on how to do the swap, i am doing this myself with a couple buddies of mine

 

what are you swappin it into???

 

90 hatch

 

You'll need a B-series mount kit, 90-93 Integra axles, a modified or custom shift linkage, and an Integra rear tranny bracket. This is just the basics. Use the search function on this site, it should answer all the questions that you may come up with. Search under both the recent and archived topics....lots of good info.

 

i have tried the search but keep getting little information, what i would like is a site on the how to do the swap, ste by step instructions that would be helpfull

 

come on people please help me

 

I'm actually in the process of swapping a b18a1 (obd0) into my 90 hatch DX. As Redline130 said, you need the b-series mount kit, an Si harness (Much easier than modifying your original one, if you don't have an Si), the Si resistor box, new shift linkage (Hasport makes a badass set of linkage for swapping b-series), 90-93 integra hubs and axles, and... I think that's about it. I may be missing something, but this is all off the top of my head. I'm actually in the middle of swapping my wiring harness with the Si now. Hopefully it should be back on the road next week. PM me if you need anymore help with the swap.

 

i am doing the same swap.....thanks for the info peeps...

Use the Si harness only for the necessary connectors and pins that you will need. You are much better off using the DX harness and adding the wires that you need. There isn't too much to add, so it's not that hard. Using the Si harness will actually be harder.

 

hey guys thanks for the info, keep it coming, i am just trying to eductate myself further before i do this, i am not sending it to some shop to do so the more info i get the better

do i really need the mounting kits, i have heard i can use the integra mounts

i will be able to beat mustangs with the b18 right

 

No, you need to use a mount kit. As for beating Mustangs, that will be highly dependent upon several factors...driver skill, tune of motor, traction, state of modification of the Mustang.....etc.

 

anything else anyone ca tell me about the swap, i have read 2 pages of the search results

Yea, I kinda wished I hadn't changed harnesses completely... pain in my ***. I finally got the wiring done after I got off work today. Monday the engine goes in (my next day off of work), and hopefully by Saturday, I should have it on the road. (waiting for my linkage right now to come in)

check that out, might find something you need or some information.

 

how much should an engine with 100k on it be worth

 

got mine with 100k for $85. pick-n-pull half off sale... cant beat that

 

you will not beat decently conditon Gt mustangs with a non-vtec b18.

 

I got mine in a wrecked hatch for a grand. It had the LS w/ 100k miles, tranny, ecu, another chipped ecu w/ no governor, full exhaust (hi-flow cat, 2 1/2 piping into a bomb muffler), almost MINT 91 integra seats (sold already), some crappy APC coilovers, and a set of nice 15" gunmetal wheels (sold already). Not bad for a grand.

 

alright, then i think i might go for this b18 that is at a friend of mines yard, should be able to get all i need from him and only be paying $900.00, might be able to get him to lower the price a bit

 

what will the 1/4 times be with stock b18

 

I'll find out in about 2 weeks The engine got dropped in yesterday and tomorrow I should have everything but the radiator and linkage hooked up. I've got a teggy radiator on the way (busted mine taking the old motor out), and my linkage should be here in a week.

Depends on several variables, mods done to the engine, weight of your car, traction, track conditions, driver skill. On the average, LS swaps usually run high 14's to low 15's.

 

i got a 90 si and currently building a ls, whats the diff. between using a si harness and using a dx harness?

 

dont 90-91 have diff. spline count on the axel then a 92-93?

Well, you said you have a Si, so keep that harness in there. Second, if you picked up a obd0 (90-91 teg) LS engine, everything off of that harness will bolt right up.

The difference between the si harness and dx harness is that the si is already wired for MPFI. The DX is wired for DPFI.
