B16A FAQ
Legallity

Before jumping straight into your swap, there are a couple of things to note.

In Australia it is illegal to fit an engine that is older than the chassis
Ie. The Motor must be same year of manufacture (or newer) as your chassis.

In Victoria (not sure about other states) an engineers certificate is required for registration if you increase displacement by more than 10%.

I have an engine older than my car and it's engineered and legally registered with the engine???

[SiR JDM]

Well perhaps the engineer over looked or wasn't informed of the engine date, but that is the law.

http://www.hasport.com - Does not have ½ cuts, but list various b-series swap parts; such as Mounts, Wiring, Headers, Shift linkages etc..

you will find hasport won't ship to aus, they will direct you to full-race.com

B16A2 engine mounts will not work with an EF regardless of what anyone says (and I mean EF, not ED which they definitely wont work with)

why is this?... is there aftermarket mounts to get around this problem for a EF?

[barefootbonzai]

WTF, You wouldn't need anything special mounts to fit a b16a into an EF cause they come stock with b16's.

yeah EF8 = SiR
dunno what setanta comment is about..

[CRXer]

I think Setanta meant that you would need EF engine mounts & brackets to bolt the B16A2 into an EF as the EG(or what ever else the B16A2 came in) ones wouldnt work.
I should imagine the mount points on the engine/tranny would be the same.

whats the kit to convert from cable to hydro clutch?

[CRXer]

I got a Hasport one on mine find it at

http://www.hasport.com

order at

http://www.full-race.com/home.php

it came with the mount kit.

Heard reports of it feeling abit spongy but I find mine alright,feels pretty stock.

if its not a ef8 or 9 i do believe you still need to purchase mounts because the motor sits higher (different block all together from a d motor) each model had their own engine mounts for the corosponding motor
