Default Engine Swap Resources Thread - Under Construction

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.

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.

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.
