Hi all,

I have read the below article but wish to clarify a few more things.

Article:http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?32565-ED-EF-Engine-Swap-Guide

Donor car is a 1992 Da9 running a jap spec b16a

Things I wish to confirm:
- would i be able to use the mounts from the Da9 b16 into the Ef?
- would da9 or ek Gli rear disk brakes work with the Ef?
- is cutting a re-welding the shift linkage be reliable?
- anyone else tried this swap ?
- should i just keep the Da9 running or do the swap what do you guys advise me?

Thanks in advance
you guys are champions:wave:

we started it and gave up in the wiring department...

otherwise most of the mechanical parts are interchangeable and will work in the ef

I know its not much help, but I wish u all the best

u should document it if u go ahead and share it for others...

What happened with the wiring ? What made it too complicated?
If I use the wiring from the da9 would it make things bit easier?

that's the issue, we tried to do that exactly, but all the plugs etc didn't line up/match up
plus it doesn't help that the ed we had was carby originally :(

it can be done and it can work, just either lots of time to work out the wiring, or very expensive if u buy a loom etc from reputable companies who make plug and play stuff
