I've gotten tired of seeing a thousand engine swap threads. Going to make another resource sticky. Post useful links/DIYs/other threads here and in a couple weeks I'll compile it down into one post.

 

:werd: It was exactly what I was thinking! If you see anything about engine swap suggestions, you know its a noob.

now how about some reliable sites that you purchased your motor from?

 

Ok, if you have a question about engine swaps, use the section designated for it: https://www.honda-acura.net/forums/f...splay.php?f=34

Questions regarding this topic will be deleted from this thread.

 

i have something to add.. on the b16 you need 3 new mounts if you have a DX The rear, The front transmission mount, and the AC/compressor mount ( if the engine dosnt have one alreadly) I found it out the hard way. IT also reqires alot of Wiring modificiation if you are using the sensors on the motor. Not all of the Conversion harnesses are correct so be sure to check your pin out sheet wich you can find at HybridGarage.com I had great problems getting some of the sensors rewired to where they would work properly.

 

it is also to do engine transmission combos. I have a 2000 B16 head on an 89 Crx block rehoned With a GSR hydrolic trans so mabey thats why i had the problems i did . i had to convert the engine to obd2 instead of the obd0. but you still need the 2 mounts

 

Here is a site i found http://www.team-integra.net/sections...p?ArticleID=19
it might help some one?

 

nice work man i wish i would have found stuff like this when i was looking into my motor but either way it got done

 

Hi, does bolt in swap mean it doesnt need transmission changing?
it doesnt mention anything regarding transmission for some of these swaps, does that mean its not necessary?
and also does wiring harness modification mean that the whole loom/harness will need to be changed or just amended where necessary?

Im wantin so put a b16a2 in place of a D16y8 in my 97 civ coupe, and according to this the only thing that will need changin is the engine, mounts and harness, is this correct? or will transmission also need changin as the engine revs 1000rpm more than the current one.

would really appreciate any info, sorry for the newbie question, not had much luck at all.

thanks again and apologies in advance.

 

A "bolt in" swap means the entire drivetrain will bolt into the host chassis without modification.

It does not mean that the host car's transmission can be reused.

You will need the Y80 / S80 transmission in order to complete your B16A2 swap.
The stock D-series transmission will not mate to the B16A2 block.
