I am thinking of buying a fifth generation hatchback and swapping a B series engine into it. I want to stick with an OBD1 engine to make my life a lot easier.
Are there any USDM B16 engines that are OBD1?
How easliy would a B18 swap be? Would it bolt right in? Are there any other issues with this swap that I should be concerned with?

Thanks for the help

 

Anything that is pre-96 USDM is going to be obd-1. 94-95 gsrs,and I think 94-95 b16A3(del sol) are going to be obd1
Good luck

 

B16A3 is OBDI it's the 94-95 Del Sol VTEC motor. A B series swap into a Civic is easy (it bolts right in), we did a B18B into a 95 Civic in about 2 days, we also put on a Revhard turbo kit at the same time. If you have a few friends willing to help and a Helms manual it should be an easy swap. There are several little things that you should be concerned about when doing a swap, The exhaust won't hook up the the header, you'll need both civic and integra mounts depending on whether or not you want PS and AC. You might also need a transmission mount welded or buy one if you are swapping a automatic transmission in or out.

 

i'd prefer to have an OBD2 motor just b/c its a newer motor. everything will plug up the same, only thing you'll have to do is repin the OBD2 distributor or get an OBD1 distributor.

 

What about the axles? I've heard that 94+ Integra axles must be used for the swap.
Also, would I have to get the shift linkage from an Integra?

 

true and yes

 

Are there any other parts that I would need to get to make this swap work?
What parts should I make sure the engine comes with when I order it?
