Civic EG B16A conversion need advise

[justin333]

hi guys, driving a EG4 EFI with D15B n my mate got a damaged CRX EG2,

i'm gonna take the parts from him n doing engine conversion,

question is: What do i need?

Engine
Gearbox
Wiring loom
Driveshaft
Engine Mount
Shift Linkage

And wt else? need advise for this conversion thanks guys....:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[justin333]

Also, if i am not going to use his wiring loom, can it use my D15b wiring loom n just extend 5 wire like knock sensor, VTEC solenoid etc??

if not, do i need to extend some wires when i use his loom? or just plug n play that's it? thanks again

that's basically everything you need, also ECU

best off getting the B16A loom, you need to extend the wiring to the ECU

So u mean i need to change to B16A loom as well? moreover, if i am using B16A loom, do i need to extend the wiring to ECU? and anyother extra wires that i need to make? million thanks

[dorikin]

Yep you need to extend the wiring to the ECU because the DelSol B16A engine loom will stop at the shock towers.

Also need starter motor.

Thanks for the advise mate, anyother stuffs that i mentioned is missed? cuz i will to get everything from that CRX EG2 in one step due to long distance driving.

hope u can guide me wt other parts i have missed thanks again

[justin333]

Also need starter motor.

I guess the starter motor will come with the engine package, i guess....

Needs to be on your list. It mounts to the gearbox

No worries dude,

just went there today, the smart axx just cut the wire with side cuter without any mark, do u think should i still take the risk on getting the engine?

The idiot cut the wiring on the passenger side with side cuter instead of unplugging...

[VTec1987]

You need to change your shift linkage, del sol shift linkage wotn fit in your eg

can u send me some pictures of the wreck? i might need some parts

wt parts are you looking for mate?? will keep an eye for u*

You should be able to use an OBD1 Integra VTI-R or Type R loom. The sensors will all be the same and the loom will extend all the way to the ecu as the DC2 and EG civic chassis are essentially the same. Also get the integra B series shift linkage.
I'm not 100% on this so someone correct me if I've got something wrong.

[jdm18c]

Yep b series shift linkages will fit 100%

i m looking at the front end parts if it's not smashed...
mainly the front bumper support and related brackets

So i dont need the wiring loom n the shift linkage from that CRX right?? thanks

[dorikin]

I'm pretty sure the CRX Del Sol crossed over from OBD1 to OBD2a so just be careful when choosing a new engine loom

No. It would be easier with an Integra loom.

[justin333]

No. It would be easier with an Integra loom.

Thanks dude will see how it go....hope i can get some B-series engine poor me....

Got your PM. Why can't you buy your mates B16A?

[VTec1987]

Im not sure why people are telling the guy to use a integra loom when you can use the current del sol b16a loom

Doesnt matter if the del sol b16a engine is obd1 or obd2, you just need a obd1 ecu to fit in the Civic eg

Some del sol uses map sensor that is mounted on the fire wall, if its not then you can use your del sol engine loom

The only thing you need is a shift linkage from integra Gsi\VTIR\type r....

For one, he said that the del sol loom has already been cut.
And:

Yep you need to extend the wiring to the ECU because the DelSol B16A engine loom will stop at the shock towers.

Wouldn't the only plug and play option be an integra loom?

[dorikin]

I think you're confused.

DC2 Integra, EG Civic and DelSol share the same engine loom design I.e. they all disconnect at the shock towers. The rest of the loom is part of the main wire harness which connects to the ECU.

Since his main wire harness is that of an EG4 D15B he won't have the necessary wiring for VTS, O2, KS, etc, etc which is the reason why he needs to extend the wiring to the ECU

Ohhhhh.
I thought you meant the Del Sol loom length was too short to reach the ECU.
