Alright, i'm trying to put a JDM b16a auto in my 2000 auto DX.. Now if it were manual, i could use one of the OBD jumpers... but i don't think they could be used with an auto ECU?? And this harness is a Left Hand Drive harness, and i believe that will cause a problem also.... I know some other idiots have tried this swap before, so if someone could help with some wiring information, that would be great!!

 

hmmm... anyone?

 

guess no one knows....

 

most people wont know. i've never heard of anyone keeping auto when swapping to a b-series motor, so it'll be hard to get any info on it.

btw, the b16a auto has weaker cams than any other b16a, and it will perform very similarly to a slug. the auto kills all the fun if the b16. the b16 isnt a very powerful motor. it likes to rev, and auto's dont. i'd rather have a d16y8/z6 manual than a b16 auto

 

fully aware..... the motor was cheap 1800 shipped, complete swap.... figured nothing else, i had something to strip parts off of.... the motor fits, its just the wiring that doesn't... oh well...

 

so slap on a 5 speed tranny and convert!!! yippee:thumbup:

 

why not... its only money, right?? i don't think i'd be able to convert my car to a stick on my own.... i'd probably have to pay a local shop to convert it.... and thats even more cash.... *sigh*

 

yeah....I didnt know how much you knew about it... check around you mite be able to get it done relatively cheaply?

 

I'm in the same shoes........an auto d16y8 isn't working too good........any reccomendations?

 

what year civic do you have?? if its a 96-98 this damn auto b16a might be the answer for you... its not as quick as a standard, but with new cams, and a stall converter you'll be right there, or better then some....
