I was thinking about doing an engine swap.my stock for a jdm B16A engine into my 90 civic.....when i do this wut kind of half shafts am i looking at? I heard that the engine comes with the tranny and ecu.wut else am i gonna need......Do u think this is a wise choice for an engie?..and Does anyone know about availability for parts on this engine?


Thanks

 

Check Hasport.com, they sell the motor mounts, shift linkage etc. Pretty much everything you'll need for your engine swap.

 

thanx.im still searchin many sites at the moment.i can get a combo of Engine + 5 Speed Trans + ECU for about $800 dollars.. (ZC motor) or i can get a combo of Engine + Cable Type Transmission + ECU for about $1350(B16AVtec) so im not to sure.its all about finding the right price thou.but id much rather have the B16A motor.so im leaning in that direction a bit more.the Jdm engines r actually quite pricey thou..

 

You have your terms incorrect - I think.

An Bseries motor only uses one half-shaft. It's a shaft that connects on the driver's side from the tranny to mid motor where it bolts to the back of the engine. From here, the axle connects and then continues on into the wheel hub.

Bseries motors all have a half-shaft. Dseries motors don't.

If you're swapping a Bseries into a car that didn't previously have a Bseries, you will have to get a Bseries half-shaft.

I hope this makes sense.

 

i understand man... . thanx...in fact to be real.im jus gonna go for the ZC motor....its a bit cheaper, still has upgraded power from the stock and it bolts right into the 88-91 civics so its a bit easier....i jus need to find an ecu..but i think im gonna have to go with the ecu from an 88-89 integra...unless i can get the japanese si ecu when i get my engine..ill have to see.........if anyone knows any cheap places in Toronto, Canada where i can get a ZC motor plese pm me.......BTW does anyone know how to take the pin from a speedometer cable out of the transmission housing..without transmission removal??????????? ...Anyone?
