ok i got an xsi engine and tranny complete swap about to go into my 91 si hatchback and i was just wondering what type of axles i will need to use...i have the xsi integra axles but i didnt know if i was gonna be able to use those for the swap or not.

also- is the tranny lsd? i dont have the swap at my house yet its gonna be a couple days but i was just wanting to know if the tranny that came with them had lsd..?

also- anyone know alot about this motor in ef's? i searched and i couldnt find anything in this forum about them...let me know

thanks

 

just got done with the swap in my crx. i used the xsi axles that came with it. seems to be working fine. and unless you chose the option for the optional lsd, chances are slim that you will have one. i have the ys1 tranny. something you are probably gonna run into is that you will need to use a conversion harness and convert over to obd1. if you have any questions pm me.

 

it comes wired for obd0 but with an obd1 ecu...so iam gonna have to buy a local obd0 ecu and trade for mine or something...thanks man, i didnt know if there was a difference in the axles because of the wheel base and stuff

 

anyone else?

 

You won't necessarily need to convert to OBD1. Is the B16 that you ordered a 1st gen. one? If so, most likely it will be OBD0, so you won't need to worry about a conversion harness. Most likely you will be able to use the axles that come with the swap, hopefully they are in good condition. Also, like it was mentioned, odds are you won't be getting a LSD equipped tranny unless you specified for one when you ordered the motor. You will need to get you shift linkage modified to work with the B-series tranny, or you can probably find one in the classifieds from another member. One last thing, remember to replace as much as you can before you install the motor. It's so much easier to work on a motor when it's not in the car. Good luck with your swap.

 

yea it has new water pump, timing belt and all other belts, new ac stuff although i wont be using it, and yea its the obd1 xsi engine but its wired allready for an obd0 car so all i have to do is find a obd0 ecu and chip it, whats the best one you guys know about?

 

?

 

anyone else have this motor besides 2 people!?

 

Your teg axles work great! You don't have to modify them at all, if you want new ones, just get one from any 90-93 integra. Also, where did you get the motor from? What tranny is it? (YS1, S1, J1) and what year Integra is it from?

 

i'm not really for sure..i go pick the motor up tommorrow i just know its the obd1 version but its allready been wired for an obd0 car so all i have to do is wire my car for vtec,buy hasport mounts and shift linkage and iam ready to go,i think the motor was from a 93...i just pmd the guy to check the tranny i forgot what he said earlier but its a great deal because he put all new belts on it including timing belt and it has a new clutch and flywheel, and new water pump.....

 

ok the guy pmd me back and said the code on the tranny was a1 what the hell is that from?

 

My xsi came from a 93 teg so i kept it obd 0 and had to get a new dizzy and a new exhaust mani with 2 o2 bungs using obd o pr3 ecu....

 

cool anyone know about the a1 tranny?

 

searched and cant really find a good source of info on the a1 tranny

 

i think the a1 is the ls tranny

 

weak sauce

 

backed out because of a1 tranny...thread done
