ok we got the b16 whole motor and tranny.. going into a 96 or 97 sedan.. anything i need 2 know about.. i don't think we have to wire things up or cut **** and wire it. because we using the whole si wire harness and ecu.. any tips or tricks.. can we use d series axles? whats gonna need to be done. does the clutch lines match up and etc.. let me know.. doin my 1st swap thanks..

 

going to need b-series mounts, b16 axles, b-series shift linkage and stab bar...

clutch line should line up...

best advice - while the motor is out... do timing belt, alternator belt, water pump, clutch and any gaskets/seals that may need doing... its much easier to do all this while the motor is out and will save you having to do it all again after you've swapped the motor...

good luck!

 

sway bar?

no we barely have enough tools to even do the swap.. so we gonna do the clutch and t-belt at another time.. thanks though..

anything else i should know..

 

big problem.. got the motor in and everything.. car won't start.. i need serious help...

97 civic dx with a 99-00 si motor, b16a2, ecu and wire harness.

now on the dx there was 4 harness... 3 that goes into ecu and 1 green one that plugs into the car itself.


now on the si ecu and wiring harness.. theres only 2 harness that goes into the ecu and one green one that hooked up to the car.. we are missing the other harness that is suppose 2 go to the ecu.. car won't start..

 

modify the dx harness to fit the si engine. then add vtec. always use the cars engine harness

 

What about a 96-98ex computer will it run like ****.. will the si harness work with it
