what kind of engine + gearbox??
d16y4 engine and manual box , gave the si wing and cluster and front lights and indicators, why would i hold back an engine and box when im swapping in the b20vtec brah.. like i said i have much love for other honda scener's dont get em all that often so may as well keep them round by being generous with unwanted goods the main issue with me swapping in the b20vtec is time
Ahh well there you go. Good on ya man. My experience with people offering my free stuff when I worked at supercheap was that they never called or answered the phone lol.Quote:

@ IAN.. SO.. you dont want the d16y4 then? a manual conversion will be a complete b***h to get done considering you donthave any of the hydraulic bits.. and the pedal box
(edit) you could swap the engine over but keep the auto box and run the d16
its acutally alot easier then people make it out to be almost everything is plug and play just a little bit of work to get it all right. gtstripes im hopefully doing mine in a few weeks i can take pics and stuff if you like?
msouth- yeah ill still take it off your hands, i just need motivation to get started ha ha its always like that,
i could always just auto d16 with the 30mile long geared gearbox lol
dave - and yeah dude that will be awesome! :D
onces its boosted ian, those gear ratio's arent going to mean jack brother..
yeah true, not boosting until its fully rebuilt though, and when i get it converted to manual first (hopefully converted before engine goes on, one at a time)
i usually do things one at a time, thats just me. less confusing for me. dont care if it takes longer, i am in no rush at all :)
im a tad confused ian what are your working towards atm?
If you are rebuilding for boost make sure to use forged low comp pistons, forged rods and upgrade the valvesprings and retainers.Quote:

tims correct, my question is what engine are you gonna be boosting? your d? if you where gonna go thay way wouldnt it be worthwile swaping to a dohc?
not my D15, ill be boosting the D16y4 msouths donating to me lol
but yeah i dunno im going to stop with my car for afew months, needs moneys..
cant be ****ed.. my brother custom built me a com with crazy specs so im even more distracted with fkn minecraft
Haha that's funny as, I built myself a gaming PC a year ago and the first thing I did was play MC. XDQuote:

im short cutting my engine swap , im not swapping the cable box attatched to the engine atm ill just put the hydraulic opener up against the forks to engage/disengage the clutch , my pc set up cost me about 4-5 g's dual screen logitech g510 keyboard razor naga molten mouse g35 head set ( no speakers yet) plus a desk that doesnt fit in my room with my fan clothes and car parts :P :cool:
haha man minecraft is the BOMB, got it on xbox, and PC is waaaay better/addictive, if im not at work im on minecraft
i dont have a monitor yet so im using my 55" widescreen :P
i never seen myself playing computer games until yesterday afternoon. i have assasins creed 3, transformerss, minecraft, dishonoured and something else my brother wacked on here lol
did you start the manual conversion yet? wheres the updates lol
havent been stuffed doing anything lol, my brother i havent seen in 3 years is here so ive post poned the civic till a later date :)
will be buying some gear for her soon :)
i started my manual conversion today dont do it lmaoooooooo so much hassle! the worst bit is switching over the brake pedal and installing the clutch pedal
yeah, thats the hardest part about the conversion i heared! lol
any progress....
nup, just working, fishing, suffering 3rd degree sunburn, the usual. i might wash her in afew min..
missed out on buying another eg MANUAL... but someone already got it :( SOOOO close to getting everything i need.. plus extra
i just finished my gt stripes ive still got a few spare parts if u need them lemme know. after all the hassle trust me its worth it lmaooo
theres one available for like 500 cmaaaan get it going man
where dave?? ill buy it right now if its manual
nice work 2mprs!! how long did it take u all up?? what u got left over ill buy off ya :)
it took me like 4-5 days but i did rear disk conversion,swaybar, d16y1 vtec conversion and a few other things in one hit lol. tbh just the manual conversion should have taken me maybe 1-2days.
btw pm sent
read your pm, awesome! :D cheers
ALLCLASIFIEDS i have a d series box and eg linkage here but obviously theres more ud need
whats the gearbox condition like? and how much u want for linkage? im going to tims tuesday maybe if i have that off
so far progress on my b20 vtec swap is nil ian , i need a second car to drive around while the ek is off the road ( if its of the road for more than a weekend) work precaution's
thats all G msouth! im just in the process of gathering bits so im ready when you are :)
getting the dudes at japspec in mitchell to give me a hand with sourcing parts
what do you need help with ian? honestly im not to sure what condition the box is in since the clutch was soooo bad on the civic (if you remember) that i cant be sure on the boxs condition. as for sourcing parts what do you need help finding? pm me i have many many sources for parts now with my new work.
thanks to 2MPRS for the list:
i have nothing so i need:
gearbox -
Clutch/Flywheel/Pressure Plate - ill oder what i can from work others ill need to search around
shifter and shifer linkages - ill grab your one if its still free
Ecu - if i cant be botheres moddifying my current one
Clutch Resovir, Hydraulic Lines, slave cylinder and master cylinder - ill buy these brand new from dealership
starter motor - ill see if i can opder from work if not ill find one
Manual pedal and brake pedal -
shiftknob and shiftboot
engine mounts - ill get these through dealership
Inspection plate - hmm??... lol
will i need a different radiator? because manual ones are different from automatic ones from what i know
gearbox-try mine if its crap grab another, cheap as
clutch and flywheel- get em new they are pritty cheap
shift linkage- take mine
ecu- call parts heaven in clayton they are pritty good
everyhting elce u can get from partsheaven.
dont buy mounts and that new its too expensive you will never do it if u think it will cost a million dollers.you can upgrade parts as you go
radiator i think u just need to block off the trans cooler hose lines
u dont need to block off the radiator just let all the oil drain out of the bottom to feeds. you need to buy mounts no matter what as u need the aftermarket auto to manual upper mount or your motor will sit on a angle
btw inspection plate looks like this http://www.google.com.au/imgres?um=1...13&tx=95&ty=48
and covers this bit http://www.google.com.au/imgres?um=1...3&tx=143&ty=72
i guess you could get good mounts sooner, but are u still intending to b swap? dont waste money i recon just get stock ones (i might have one?). as for blocking off the trans cooling line ok you dont have too its just good practice. as fo the flywheel cover im sure the wreckers will have one
nah man im staying single jingle for now, B swap can be for later on i just need it manual
thanks for the help guys :)
you could prolly b16 manual swap for like 3-4k, just sayin
yeahhh but its easier to find D series, i have afew motors lined up, just need everything else. hopefully seeing one next week i got a fella away till tuesday and yeah see what happens i guess...
theres a reason its easyer, but if your keen on that rout god speed im just saying if your gonna put this sorta cash and effort into it, maby you should consider your goals. what other then a defect magnet are you going for hehe
what??
i dont give a shit if i get defected!. ill only pass again. i have no problems with it anymore...
they send me to the pitts ill go the next day simple as that.
i dont mind D series, im am in no rush at all to get a B in it. no rush, i have better priority's at the moment..
if he turbos the d about the same price as a b series and a shitload quicker lol
all i ment was that IF your gonna be pulling the engine and gearbox out it would be worth while doing all of this at once to save having to pull it again later. and yes if he turboed a d it would be faster but if he had a d then turboed that the b would be faster or he could sell it and buy a VL turbo and that would be faster but its not about making the fastest car.. the only reason im asking about the B is last time ian and i spoke he seemed really keen on doing the swap but havent heard much since, dont want cha to think u cant do it.
havent updated in quite awhile, been busy with other things..
however, i did get my ASR rear subframe brace its polished but deciding wether to keep it polished or get it powdercoated
ordering 22mm rear swaybar, will update with pics when everythings on
