You need to get a longer clutch cable made up to use the Hasport thing with RHD cars. None of oem cables like the DA integra one are even long enough. They don't tell you this before you buy it. I got a new standard cable ($70) and had it extended (extra $100). I would have done a full hydraulic pedal box if I knew how much it was going to cost. Its not even that good.

Why would you need a longer clutch cable?
The gearbox is closer to the pedals in a RHD car?

The pedals are closer, but the RHD cable is also shorter. Too short. And, if you somehow got ahold of a LHD one, it'd be way too long.

Yep, I used the hasport mounts to do mine, would recommend them. Its quick and I'm very happy with it.

The other main thing hasport didn't consider with RHD cars is power steering. If you want to keep it you need to cut a heap from behind the left headlight bracket to clear the compressor, then get a hydraulics place to make you up a custom high-pressure hose to suit the b-series compressor connector. It cost me around $100 for this hose, and you need to make up another short low-pressure hose for the oil feed.

It sounds complicated, so what about the air-con?? is that impossible to remain the air-con?? and how much did u spend on the whole engine convertion?? coz it sounds a lot of the custom stuff......:(

The aircon you have to get another bracket from Hasport and use the CRX compressor. I spent about $6k all up on my conversion, but bought lots of new bits.

have a look at some of the other forums, like ZCResource, Honda-tech, D-Series.com - you might be lucky to find someone selling a Mount kit second hand.

how much would it cost to put a B16b into the eg delsol with a b16a already in there, is it straight bolt on, ie take out the b16a and drop in b16b??? how much are the b16b's and where can i find one?

As far as i know, if the B16B was going into an EF8, he wouldnt need special mounts. The EF8 mounts would work? There was a CRX in melb that was running a B16B and im pretty sure he didnt need sort of aftermarket mounts.

As for dropping a B16B in a del sol, it just bolts straight in. But depending on what year del sol, you might need a conversion harness for the ECU.

6k include the itr engine as well?? if so, that's cheap..:D

thanks for that, how much u think its gonna cost for a converstion to a b16b engine? and how much could i sell my b16a for with about 190xxx on the clock?
