how easy is it to swap a b16a or b18c into a sol
 
b16a or b18c?? which one ios easier to install on my friend's sol... its a 93 single cam non vtec S model. any ideas?? :)

either... exact same process.

I did my very first swap mostly by myself (no help from experienced honda peeps, very limited help from others) with very few complications in about 8 hours of work. The next time around, I bet I could do it all by my lonesome in 4 hours. Get some buddies, get some beer, and have at it!

wiring for vtec and axels any theother shit... easy?

white_n_slow 07-11-2005 05:55 PM

the wiring is pretty simple... just a couple wires to connect. The axles just pop in, assuming you've got all the parts you need.

They make it seem WAY TOO EASY! But yeah it's not that hard. I did my first swap myself and now I do them all day long.

I did mine by myself in about 3 days total but my laziness managed to span it to like 10 days. I never changed my oil, and I still managed to get my engine in. Now I do everything myself. Just gotta be mechanically inclined and have common sense.

I did a lot of that too. :oh: I put about 8 hours of actual work in, and about 3 days of goofing off, and doing stuff like this: https://www.honda-acura.net/forums/s...highlight=swap

id say a b16 a because the si del sol already have it so it should be a driect bolt in except wiring the vtec will be a little challenge...
