yer i got to figure out how to put pics up first....
Some one help With the CONVERSION...
Hello
an easy way to upload pics would be to make an account on photobucket and
upload your pics there,
then copy the direct link under the picture that you would like to upload
come back to the forum and create a post
the icon that looks like it has a mountain with a yellow background (insert image icon) where the tools are next to the bold/italic/underline etc.. Clink on it
then just paste the link in the box
And that's it
As for the conversion, give a read through the technical threads of the forum, heaps of useful info there or do a quick search and im pretty sure ull find your answer

Hey fellow AH brother,
Welcome to Ozhonda :wave:
Wise choice getting the AH, believe it or not but in next to no time you wont want that EG anymore.
Ok to answer your question, after you buy the B16a(are you thinking of going 1 or 2?) you will need a few things.
You will need to Fuel Inject/bike carbs for one thing.
This can be a daunting task but at the same time its worth it.
You can run a Aftermarket fuel pump and use the current tank and lines from that to get your fuel injection.
You will also need to wire in a switch so the fuel pump will work (naturally)
OR you can go with Bike Carbs
I dont know a specific 'one' that you can use for the b-series but guys on RedPepperRacing.com (as i mentioned you should go to via pm before) and the guys who are doing it will help, they have experimented with different ones so maybe asking them would be wise.
There was a build thread on here aswell with a guy from the UK (mate of mine) who put a ZC engine from a 1st gen integra (bolt on bolt off situation) and used Bike Carbs :)
Also you'd most likely end up keeping the Choke (but thats cool anyway)
If you like i can link you to a build thread on there and you can ask the OP for more info.
Mounts can easily be had from Hasport and you can buy wiring harnesses, shift linkage and axle's from them aswell for teh swap.
but i have heard of buys modifying the shifter linkage from the DA3 (1st gen integra) for the B-series.
You will need to upgrade the brakes (so no more drums)
I believe you could probably get away with using the 1st gen integra set up for a B-series though i honestly would improve from there anyway
Once again go to www.redpepperracing.com for alot more info and help :thumbsup: or i believe there are a few guys here who have gone B-series and still troll around here :p
I know ive left alot out so please Pm me if you want/need more help :p

p.s sorry for long ass post everyone.

Honestly, my car mates are open minded and see the potentials of it
My non car enthusiast mates dont really mind, its a car and they dont have one.
I just cop it from everyone else.
