vteck? oh you mean vtec. well you are going to have to get a b series tranny, you will not be able to use your d series tranny. Also when you search make sure that you use the Archived, and not just recent!!!

Yes, you need a B-series tranny.

Check out this FAQ Tom wrote up. The dude knows his ****!

You need a B-series transmission, B-series shift linkage, B-series axles, the proper combination of B and D-series mounts and (depending on the OBD of the car and the engine) a conversion harness.

Good luck with that, though: it'll rip once it's done and tuned .

V-Tak pOwNz U!? y0!?

Anyways, honestly if you don't know what to use and where to use it i would not attempt this on your own if you have any friends that are knowledgeable about cars what so ever bring them on in and have them help. It sounds to me your pretty new to the whole car thing and have a good bit to learn. This isn't a hard swap in fact it is the most straght forward swap out there and being that you have a 92 no wiring is needed to add extra stuff a B16 has that your D15b7 didn't. Good luck and if you have any in depth questions PM i am always free to help.

ug, guys we know vtec/vtech.. great job on making that known. sure it will help her a lot. As said before, if you don't want to spent the time looking for how a engine swap is done, or know little to nothing about your car.. just bring it to a shop and give them all your money.
