Hey guys i have a 93 Civic (Posting under buddy's nic) and I have a opportunity to get a engine out of a del sol that has vtec for pretty cheap the thing is we don't think it has a ecu or a tranny will the ones out of my car work. I think the tranny will. But unsure about the ECU cause of vtec. Anyone know for sure.

You need a b series tranny. And i think you could have your stock ecu chipped to work with the b16.

Edit: Didnt think, but is it a b series or d series vtec?

If it is a DOHC VTEC motor (del Sol VTEC), your tranny will not work.

If it is a SOHC VTEC motor (del Sol Si), your tranny will work.



Also, what kind of civic do you have??

it's a SOHC. I have a 93 Hatch CX

Than yes. Your tranny will work. You could probably find an ecu for the d series vtec for cheap.

get at least a dx tranny on there. the cx tranny is doggy as sin.

txhatch

He should get an si tranny.

I just bought a new tranny so going to keep this one for a while. What's the difference between CX SI AND DX trannys

txhatch

Better gearing, the si would be the best to get.
