could anybody tell me what I need to make the engine swap of a 1.5l 93 civic to a 1.7l 93 acura integra (B17A1) your replies will be appreciated Thank you.

 

pretty much everything.

long block with the harnass
ecu
tranny
shift linkage
axles with intermediate shaft

pretty much everything from the integra.

look for a full swap.

 

Tranny's worthless to you except to sell on Ebay. Pre 94 Integra's are cable clutch, your '92+ Civic uses a hydro setup. There is a conversion/mount kit available but I've never used one. You can pickup any '94+ Integra (preferably a GS-R for the shorter ratio's) or 2nd gen JDM B16A or B16A2/3 (from a '99-'00 Si or '94 up Del Sol VTEC).

I'm not sure what's involved with wiring a '92-'93 Integra engine into a Civic, worse case, you'd just have to swap your Civic's D-series wiring harness over. The ECU should plug in an work fine (I've never worked on a DA Integra). I'm hoping axles would work fine, like I said, swap I've never done.

You might honestly consider trying to sell the B17A, it's a rare motor to find and desirable to someone with an older Civic since the tranny will work for them. Some people just insist on being a little different and might pay extra to have a unique motor. You might even get enough for it to purchase a full '94+ B18C1 and that will fit exactly and the tranny will bolt right up.

 

wouldnt you want longer gears? i mean dont you want to use your engine and use vtec to its potential? well if im right you might wanna go with a b16 tranny.. the gears are spaced better than any honda tranny out there..

 

It's one the best stock, but most US b16's are non lsd. jdm b16a with lsd is a good choice.

98+ jdm itr tranny's are the best out of the box.

shortest final drive.


you'd want closer gears so the car will rev quicker and go into the power range faster.

if the gears are too long you'll fall out of vtec between shifts, and too long of gears will lessen your top speed if the engine isn't powerful enough to keep going.

 

The B17A1 is worth some serious bank to G2 Integra guys, way moreso then Civic guys.

 

if you have your hands on a b17a1 and are trying to sell any of it including trans, short block whatever....keep me in mind...
