I'm wondering, once I get all the parts: Engine, Transmission, etc (basically a complete b18 swap kit from hmotorsonline.com) how hard is it to install? Is it just a bolt on in thing, connect all the hoses and wiring harness?

Also, how hard is it to do a auto-manual swap? What all is needed?

 

Well If you have a manual car everything is plug and play . YOu will need motor , tranny , ecu , stock wireharness will do , B axels , upper drivers side , tranny and rear mounts of the b seriese . and thats it ! And auto to stick is kinda easy but at the sametime a headache .

 

If your car doesn't have vtec already, you'll have to run a wire for it. Also if you have a 6th gen you'll want a Si rear mount and we had to use a Si powersteering pump.

 

Umm 3 wires !

 

If you get a vtec b-series you will also have to run a wire for the knock sensor. h:

 

Unless you get a JDM b-series, which dont have knock sensors.

 

A search would reveal a lot of information, specifically a few posts looking exactly like this:

hih

 

I just PMd you this, but it may help someone else so I thought I'd post it.

I found this how to on an auto/manual conversion: http://tech.hybridgarage.com/tech/5g...to-manual.html

hih

 

Yeah, read this one a few times. Seems like he left out a few parts, also seems too easy the way he described it. I'm gonna bust out my camera and make lots and lots of detailed notes when I start working on my car. I hope it helps someone else.
