First off my stock 1.6L Si (D16A6) Engine... as this engine goes it's only got 108hp stock at the flywheel. So I added a few goodies to it (4-1 Header and a Intake). Raced it and got my car from a 16.0 to a 15.6. Then later on some how I threw a rod that made a huge hole in the engine block.

So I replaced that stock Si engine with a '90 Acura Integra engine (B18A1). Right away I had to replace the stock exhaust with a Greddy Cat-Back. I also put on a 4-2-1 header, and a free flow cat to replace the whole exhaust system. Had to get the cat-back cut a little so that it would fit right.

Took the car to the track and ran a 15.1 as the best time, but that wasn't enough for me. I wanted to get my car into the 13's, and later maybe 12's. So I bought a Direct Port NOS kit for my car, had it installed, and desided not to use the NOS untell I got the fuel pump. But I got a little too anxious, and desided that I would try it with out the fuel pump and see what it will do. This time I didn't throw a rod, but burnt a valve or two.

So back to the shop it went to get another engine intalled. Got another Acura Integra engine (B18B1) this time a '93. Went to go and pick up the car after it was all installed and when I shifted into 2nd gear *BOOM* went the tranny. Come to a stop while leaking all the fluid all over the road. Picked up all the tranny pieces that I could find that I had left on the road after the insident.

Had the car go to a shop to get a new integra transmission for it. Come to find out its a little bit more then just a transmission now. I guess from when I shifted and the tranny broke it also cracked the casing on the engine block. So yes that is some bad news. The shop that had my car told me it would be $2,500 for the total cost of the swap, and I thought that I could do better. So I ended up calling a bunch of places selling Japanese engines and see who has the best price on engines or a tranny or both together.

Called quite a few and found the best to be at a auto wrecking yard for $800 bucks for engine and tranny excluding some parts, which I already have on my current engine. Then the worst part is finding someone that will do the swap. There are a lot of shops that don't want to touch a HYBRID for some crazy reason, not like it would really be hard since the car is already been set up for a Integra, how hard can that be?

I found a mechanic that would do the engine and tranny swap for me. After a few days I called to see how it was going. The mechanic didn't think that I would need to do a engine swap too. The only thing wrong with the engine is that it is missing one brackets for it to bolt to the engine. So it wasn't really anything major, just that I will have one less bolt holding the engine to the tranny.

Now the Civic is running great, I just have one little thing that has to be done. I have to replace the engine mounts, one of them has been causing a lot of problems for me. I am now thinking of not running the Direct Port NOS set up that is installed on the Civic. But not to sure yet. If I do deside to keep the set-up on it
