Convert auto EK1 Gli Hatch to manual... help?

[eren]

car civic ek1 Gli hatch D16y4

[SuperJDM.]

IMO, not worth it, might aswell get a engine swap and convert to manual @ the same time OR sell car and buy manual straight up saves the fuss

[Spoon SiRG]

Parts needed: D series manual gearbox, manual ECU, manual gauge cluster, clutch master cylinder, clutch & brake pedal assembly, + labor.

Not worth the time, money & effort.

Sell it & buy a manual.

[Clio]

+1 sell and buy

[bennjamin]

done it for a few members on here -

and i agree , just sell the car and buy a manual of the same model.

[mocchi]

in ek its not as hard as eg.
if you have a mint ek you wanna keep, do it.
its not that hard, just need to find all parts before you diy.

i still gotta fix reverse light sensor issue lol.

True, But lets say i were to do a Complete engine Swap ? and include the Extras?

[MWAKU]

i dont even know what the actual question is of this thread.

"True, But lets say i were to do a Complete engine Swap ? and include the Extras?" and then what?

[eren]

Is it Worth to Complete Swap D16y4 auto to B18 manual?????

[DC2-PWR]

Is it Worth to Complete Swap D16y4 auto to B18 manual?????

Obviously its worth it. B18C engines that is. D16Y4 Auto is only a cruiser mobile.

But do you have 5-6k laying around just to have a b-series manual fun?

[mugen_ctr]

Are u doing it urself or workshop? If ur doin it urself, i say do it.... well worth the effort and the self satisfaction :D

[eren]

i Really wish i Had the Knowledge to Swap it but its to complicated for me...

[SuperJDM.]

haha mannnn that post made me feel sorry for you, you make it sound like everyone can do it apart from you.
engine swapping is some hard shit and alot of headache

[mugen_ctr]

Engine swap is no easy feat, for all cars man... regardless what it is, id say ride out the car till u can save up more an get a better car, or bite the bullet and go either a gearbox swap or trade/swap it for a manual one

[eren]

it just feels weird cause im 16 and have no mechanical experince other then changing a alternator on a falcon lmao

[charliebrown]

you're 16... where are you getting money for an engine/gearbox swap?

[eren]

Saving Up :D lol

[charliebrown]

if you're not gonna be doing the conversion yourself and paying some shop to do it... just buy a manual car with an R engine conversion. it's only fun and satisfying if you're the one getting grease under your nails

[MWAKU]

see now its become clear u are still young and have no money to do any of these things all u want to do is ask questions and speculate/dream with a imagine if i had 9999999$

and u will become of the noobs who start 99999 threads asking similar questions



"where can i source this engine"
"how much is this engine"
"where can i get this engine"
"which engine is better"
"when i win the lottery ive decided im going k20 cause its better"
"where can i find replica wheels and lips"

lol....................... before asking any of these please use the search tool.

[eren]

the dream is actually doing a b18 swap myself but i dont kno what to do and how to do it :/

[SuperJDM.]

makes sense now huh lol, was so confused @ the start.

if your serious about this eren honestly id just sell the car take money from that add it onto whatever you have a purchase a car thats already manual saves you the fuss.
your 16 you dont need a B18 an Ek4 with a b16 is fine for now.

[SuperJDM.]

the dream is actually doing a b18 swap myself but i dont kno what to do and how to do it :/

your not gonna learn from making one thread dude, best way to learn is to read through forums and get a mate that has a clue and do some stuff together

[charliebrown]

for real though youre 16... all the time in the world to learn, just mess around with minor shit in your car and then move up. youre trying to run before you can walk

[eren]

how much cash will a Auto Ek1 GLi 96 Hatch auto 204.xxxks get me?

[davidvtec]

Have you got your Ps yet? I suggest you learn to drive around first in a normal car to improve your driving skills before you start upgrading, otherwise giving a powerful motor to a 16 year old can get out of hands.

But imo, sell and buy another decent car.

[SuperJDM.]

how much cash will a Auto Ek1 GLi 96 Hatch auto 204.xxxks get me?

im not trying to be a douche or anything but the questions you are just gonna make members flame you.

go onto car sales look up other civics and see how much they go for?

[eren]

im on ls sick of auto badly :/ realy boring

[charliebrown]

man you'll get 4k for your car if you're lucky

[MWAKU]

ur engine will get u a packet of chips.

[butterfingers]

What if.. I've already done over $2k worth of suspension and wheel mods to it. Issert still worth selling my wheels and coilovers. Don't have stock sussy anymore either :(

[kcokla]

I;m gnna have to say if you really want to keep your car then do it, its not that hard

ben did mine and he breezed through it blind folded almost.

[hondapop]

Sounds to me as though you've already moved too far down the modifying path economically, 'cause you won't get back what you've already spent either way, so while it's going to cost more than if you had originally had manual to start with, it may be the only sensible alternative. Would have been different possibly if you had kept the original sussy etc.

[CEEKB5]

jesus and bhudda says "Sell & buy".

[charliebrown]

Sussy and wheels are the easiest things to take off? You can pick up stock sussy for an ek easy for like $50-100. I had an auto dc4 with about $2500 in mods. I returned it to stock and bought myself a manual EG. Wouldn't bother converting an ek unless i was going to chuck in a B or K. Can buy a whole new manual EK for price of conversion lol

[trism]

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

lets bump a thread thats nearly 12 months old.

[manonastick]

or if you want to keep the car and with a manual tran really bad get a b18b swap.

[90LAN]

op do you have your manual licence yet ?

best thing is do a tafe course on cars or hang with people that are mechanical minded or in the business

no point sitting on the computer asking questions

[v__]

why dont you be his friend then lan.

[hondapop]

If Ian is 90LAN, then it looks like he's pretty busy (or should that read busy with something pretty)

[90LAN]

why dont you be his friend then lan.

edited title - no need to use so many caps =)

[stndrd]

butterfingers if you're interested in B18 w/manual swap let me know, selling my B18C2 atm. Have pretty much every thing bar maybe engine mounts

[butterfingers]

Thanks for the offer champ but I have enough trouble getting the finds for a straight tranny swap as it is let alone a b18c2. Cheers anyway :)

[dorikin]

I've got a few bits and a pieces for a manual conversion if anyone is going through with it. Just pm me
