in the search for a new gearbox for my d16a9 civic ef i have come across a crx vtec with all the bits still on thats had a back end smash. he said i can have the engine, g/box, ecu, wiring, manifold, starter, alternator, axles, and basically everything i need for about $450.

the only thing is, i'm not exactly sure what bits i do want.

i've tried searching but cannot find a complete list of what i need. i need the car to get to work so i am looking at buying the engine on friday and fitting it at the weekend.

if anyone has done this conversion any help would be greatly apreciated.

do the vtecs have better brakes or anything like that because it wont cost me any more to get them now, but if i went back for them later i would probably have to pay.

will i need the vtec bonnet? are the axels the same at the wheel end(or gearbox)?

if anyone remembers a post that had all this info, or knows a site that shows this conversion. i cannot explain how greatly it would be apreciated.

thanks for reading a long, boring post

 

someone must have 5 mins to spare to give me a bit of advice. i cant really buy the engine until i know what bits i need.

please help me

 

can anyone tell me how to move this post to the hybrid forum, just to save me typing it out again

 

go to http://crx.honda-perf.org/articles/z6swap/z6swap.html
or go to http://www.geocities.com/bing_bong916/vtec.html

they both give good info

 

thanks for the reply but i should have mentioned it's a b16a that i have found....and he only wants peanuts for it.

and ive already got my old engine and bonnet (hood) sold for more than i'm paying for all the vtec parts.
