how hard would it be to???
how much work would it be to take this d16a1, auto tranny, and ecu out of my 89' integra. and replace it all with a b16, 5-speed, and ecu?
just wondering, since i have to replace this d16a1 anyways, and the auto tranny is a dog.... I figure if the auto tranny by some cahnce would bolt to the b16 it wouldn't last very long.. correct?

naw, it isnt that hard if you know what ur doing!>
just make sure u got a few Tegs in the Junk yard like urs. it is a fairly simple thing to do, the hard part would be to put in the engine and tranny, the pedals and shifter are pritty strait forward. I did a 5-speed to auto swap in a Saab, trust me if anything Saab is much more complex than honda!

Could you tell me exactly what to buy to convert my 95 SE auto to a 5 speed. I found some other information on another thread, but I would like to hear it come from someone who has successfully converted it before.
thanks

Three Must Buy Books...IMHO.
Here, buy these books, read them.
1) Honda & Acura Performance Handbook, by Mike Ancas. MBI Publishing, 1999.
ISBN: 0-7603-0669-9
2) High Perfomance Honda Builder's Handbook, Volume Two, by Joe Pettitt. Car-Tech, Inc, 1999.
ISBN: 1-8840-8938-0
3) Honda / Acura Engine Performanc, by Mike Kojima. PenguinPutnam, 2002.
ISBN: 1-5578-8384-X
Each of these books are about $20.00.
Ancas covers the whole spectrum of mods, at the expense of some detail.
Pettitt is very thorough, focusing on chassis setup, functional aero, tire tech and FWD drag performance.
Kojima is one of the best technical writers alive. His book covers every possible motor setup, including hybrids, NA & FI, Nitrous, literally everything. And the info is presented in a truly understandable format.
They are awsome reference material. Kojima's book also covers automatic to manual conversions.
