i have a 1990 civic hatch with the stock motor. im looking into buying a B16A1for it. what else besides the actually engine will i need to make it fit. motor mounts, axels, shift linkage etc? thanks.

 

wrong forum

 

Just pop the motor in and it should fit with the stock engine mounts. You might have to change the tranny mounts, but hasport makes them for about 100.

 

this is incorrect.

The b16a will only work with a B series motor mount kit in a 1990 civic. There are no OEM mounts that will allow it to bolt in correctly.

THere are also NO b16a1's ever produced in America or Japan. There is a rumor of one from europe but it's rare and I've never seen it or heard of anybody having it.

YOu want to get a first generation b16a. Try to get one as a complete swap. YOu'll need axles, ecu, wiring harness, complete engine, complete transmission, shift linkage, and custom mounts such as those made by hasport. You will have to do a few wiring mods, and if you have a dx hatchback and not an SI you will have to conver to multipoint fuel injection.

There is a lot more too it than you think. Search around the hybrid forum. It has all been covered at some point or another

 

i didnt ask if it was the wrong forum read the topic but thanks for the advice to the others

 

My bad well you live and learn. At least I got the hasport right. lolz. I just thought since a b16a2 would just slide in my honda del sol using the OEM mounts that came with the car would work, but thats for that info.

 

Actually, I saw someone actually had pics of a b16a1 in a crx in the crx/pre 92 civic forum. He lives in russia, i think.

 

Hey, I got everything you need to know about swapping the engine. I just did the exact same swap, jdm b16a, into my 89 crx si. Pm me if you need help.

 

that would be the first I've heard of. Damn russians are weird anyways

 

well, you would prob find more and better knowledge in the proper forum n00b.
