Im after info on engine swaps for ek sedans. atm im contemplating either recoing my gear box, or just do an engine + trans swap.
however, the 1/2 cut that is being imported is an integra[1989 LS shape]. im kinda sitting on the fence about getting this because, firstly, its from an teg and its an older engine. but it is still a b16a...
but, if i do decide to go through with this 1/2 cut, would it be a straight swap or would i have to change things like, engine mounts, drive shafts, brakes, cv joints, computer etc on my car... remember that the engine is coming out of a teg.
if anyone here has info on doing this please pm. i want solid info, not the usual, i think or it could type stuff.
thanks

the very first thing u shoudl think about is that " IS the b16a out of the LS a AUTO or MANUAL ?"
The next thing u should research is " IS the LS b16a a HYDRO transmission OR a CABLE tranny ? " The latter coudl be quite a problem - as a cable cluth/trans in a normally hydraulic fluid-run car COULD pose a problem - you will need to change the trans over to hydro or just buy a b16a2 out of a local vtir - better this was spending alittle more money, so for more piece of mind.
IF you purchase and entire "half cut" BASICALLY you can swap pver all parts into your car - no major hassles.
But if its just the engine - there is untold amounts of goods that u will need for your new b16a.
Hope that kinda helps as a start !

i dunno, maybe im just generalising? am i?
cos after 135,000+ mine is making this bearing sorta noise in first and second. and when in neutral theres knocking/tapping, but when i put the clutch in, it goes away... i have already replaced the clutch, i though that would have done it, buh its still there...
wat do you recon?

Meh, my '85 civic with about 250k on the clock(from memory) makes that sound in neutral, i stopped worrying about it when i realised i didn't drive anywhere in neutral =D
