I have a b16 OBD1 (hydro tranny) currently on my 1988 hatchback. I am planning on purchasing an 1997 Civic CX (hatchback) shell. What do I need in order to fit my b16 in that? Thank you

 

axles
shift linkage
mounts?

 

#7.

 

97 is OBDII so you would need to make the engine OBDII or get the cars OBDII>OBDI wiring conversion. Then you could still use ur same ECU. Then wire the CX for VTEC, its all written up in the archives here. Have fun

 

where do you live c_buz ?

 

live in Canada. Car doesn't have a harness. It is a flood recovery. Guy wants 1800 for it with all new c west bumper, VIS CF Hoood, CF spoiler, Ace rims 18" plus tires, Z1 fenders, New headlights. I am not sure if I will buy, I mean I probably need to re-do all wiring, get it painted etc. Hold on here is a pic:







Let me know what you think

Yuck, I would offer less than $1800. Looks like a big project.

 

Wow i hate these topics.

BTW how hard did you search cause the 3rd link in this forum.. FAQ: what swaps are available for my Civic.......... Hmmmm and after the first paragraph i find this write up that i did

SEARCH HARDER

just in parts there is $1800. All parts are new I am just worried about: brakes, wheel bearings, harnesses, getting the air bags to work, future body rust, any more comments on this?:









edit: Thanks for the link. Believe it or not I searched my *** for that kind of info but the title on the post is way too specific. Why not change it to something like: civic swap info?

Dude, it says in the sticky at the top "[FAQ] What swaps are available for my Civic?"
How much more explicit does it need to be? German?

And "swap" in search function yields like 70 hits! Your searches are lacking.... thoroughness.

 

I hope you don't live in Ontario, because the ministry won't give you plates for a car with flood damage.

I almost bought another sol, but it was branded by insurance for 'flood damage' but no dice for me.

 

Hope you don't live in manitoba either because flood damage/ water damage is an instant write off with a irraparable title which means no matter what you do to the car you can never insure it again.

 

I do live in ontario. The registrar of motor vehicles told me that the car could be brought up to specs and that I could take it to get a federal inspection.
