VTIR engine to a CXI body

[Mooks79]

hello there?

I own a civic CXI, i was thinking of converting the engine to a b16a engine? has anyone done this? is the factory computer harness will it be there for the VTEC engine?
is it hard??

I must say we get a least one of these engine conversion question every week. IMO Have a good "search first" then ask.

dont do it, u would have to change the loom to accomodate ur new engine, along with a whole range of other things, IMO sell up and buy a VTIR, would be cheaper and hassle free, and u get a sunroof
IMO any engine swap, would cost $5k+, if done buy pros

agreed

either take that money and buy a vtir

or...don't do a b16a, do a b18c5/7/r or something more crazy
