I have a 96 Civic Ex, and i have a pre OBD1 B16A1 from japan with a cable trans. is there a conversion that will let me mount this in my car and run correctly? i know i need SI shift linkage, OBD1 ECU, OBD2-OBD1 jumper. is there a mount kit from HA sport or Place racing? that will "bolt-in"
and is there a conversion for the Hydro to cable trans? to work.

 

Yes, visit http://www.hasport.com

 

no there isnt if you look at HA sports site it does not show 96'-up civic with a CABLE B16a1
thats the problem i have i need to find a place that sells the kit with a cable trans

 

???

 

its not smart to put in that B16A1 in your 96 EX. its a good motor, but the problem with that, is you wont pass smog, or be able to get it BAR'd. CA law, you cant have an older engine in a new car. motor must be same year or newer.

 

that does not matter to me! this is a problem with installing the engine not getting a smog check... Plz someone who knows something about this subject reply I really need help.

 

**** buying the b16a1 just save a little more and put the b16a2 in there...plus you don't have to worry about anything when you go get BAR'd in CA. there are probably close in price after the cable conversion and stuff. Do want you want though...

 

i already have the engine sitting here and ready for swapping. and this engine is CLEAN! the whole valvetrain looks like its barly been used...
