b16a conversion to civic gli/cxi

[CWAZI]

hey guys..
this has probably been answered many times before, but i just wanted to know if anyone could tell me exactly wats needed to be altered for a b16a swap. such as the tranny, drive shafts, exhuast?
i'd like to be able to do most the swap myself
and how complicated is the rewiring

thanx

tranny- need a b series, hydro one
drive shafts- need the ek vti-r ones
exhaust- not sure, i think it needs modifying to fit a b series header. Get a new one anyway the cxi/gli one is shit.
Vti-r rear mount bracket
Vti-r front transmission bracket
Alternator- ek vti-r
Starter motor- ek vti-r
AC bracket- im not sure but u can reuse your ac compressor
PS- not sure on this one either.
Ecu- idealy you want to go obd1 but i believe it requires more work in this swap, if staying obd2 get a vti-r P2T ecu and harness.

thats pretty much it i think. If u get a half-cut all of it is included.

best way is to get a whole eg6 half cut..

that'll have everything for the conversion.

Can you put an EG engine in an EK? I didn't think you could go older than the car...

[CAT_SPEW]

Yeh I'm pretty sure it's illegal to put an older engine in a newer car..

[carbine]

and an eg6 halfcut won't have everything on it.

[CAT_SPEW]

Pretty much everything I would think. What else would he need?

[[[d a n n y]]]

oppps sorry i though it was a EG ..

well then...

source a EK4 engine..

any u'll just have to get parts for it too..

which will b a bit of a hassle

[A'PEXi]

you could get a ek9 halfcut if your rich

hey CWAZI - dun mean to be rude or anything, but have u done a search yet?? maybe this topic has already been covered somewhere in here.

i thought u could have just swapped the motor over, but now that seems like a bit of work n $$$.
well i'll just have to c how i go with money n all

thanx
