ok so i have a 91 civic hatch and just bought a peice of **** 92 teg LS i want to do the swap looking for best parts to use and any advise i can get before i get lost in a honda swap hell.

 

u have an excellent beginners swap there.

all you need are the mount kit and shift linkage.

drain all the fluids (coolant,trans and oil)

pull all the hoses off the motor that go to the firewall and to the radiator (vaccum and coolant, and pull the radiator)

pull the shiftlinkage and axles out (pitchpin, axlenuts and lowerballjoint are the main highlights there )

take the wiring off the motor and throw it to the side

pull the clutch cable. then pull the engine

i think i got it all

oh yeah that teg radiator will boltin the civic and is a terrific upgrade. i would also look at taking the brakes, axles, and master cylinder with brake booster off that teg.

 

wow thanks a ton can i put that radiator in before the swap or does it have to be done all at once?

 

u can put it in before. but i would pull it out when i pull the engine to prevent damaging it

if the teg is an auto theres a couple of extra hoses running to it, just take them off and everything will fit in fine

and welcome to honda tech

 

You guys forgot about the wiring. Your civic is a non obd engine, the 92 Integra is an obd1. It will be a little more work to wire up than if it were a 90-91 model.

 

o thought that teg is obd0 too..

cabletrans=obdo
hydro=obd1???

i actually havent looked at enough 90-93 tegs to see

 

No, it doesn't work like that. The 2nd gen integra's all have cable tranny's but:

90-91 non obd
92-93 obd1

HT- learn something new every day

 

rub it in why dont ya eheheh

yeah i only know what i touch, and unfortunatly, i havent had the pleasure of working on LUXURY CARS AkA acura

 

i know i'm doing the teg brakes in the front but i dont know about the rear and how to do all of that unless you just switch the parts and reconnect. same with the suspension i'm for shure taking the shocks and springs in the front for all of the added weight. next, i do have the STD model and what the hell is mpfi i have the entire car to hack apart so is it already there?, gimme some info PLEASE i'm trying to learn as much as i can before i try this madness. oh yea would it be easier to convert the motor to obd0 or the car to obd1, what's the difference?
thanks for the onfo looking foreward to more

 

the teg is a 5 speed stick if it matters

 

hmmm

use the search theres so much info on dpfi mpfi conversions.

but it looks like i would convert to obd1 so that you can use your teg ecu
