We're throwing a b16a1 from my old Civic in the car. It's got a 1.8 lbs. crank pulley, NGK sparkplugs, and an AEM intake with K&N cone. We don't have the money for the Skunk2 exhaust we want so for right now we are getting a Tsudo N1 Extreme Full T-304 Stainless Catback Exhaust System. It's a 2.5" catback exhaust system. It's probably gunna sound real bad but it's better than runing the b16 thru the small stock exhaust. We also got a PYR chip for the PR3 ecu. Vtec at 5200, rev limiter at 8800, and no speed governor. We just got a tranny out of a 90-93 Integra LS. If the money situation is right before we throw the tranny on it's going to have Stage 1 clutch and maybe a light weight flywheel. In the future we are gunna be geting a race head, bigger throttle body, and a Skunk2 intake manifold on it.
Motor Install
To put the motor in we needed a couple of things. We got HCP motor mounts, rear mount that bolts to tranny from 90-93 Integra LS, Si radiator throtle cable from a 90-93 Integra LS, a subharness, shift linkage,90-93 Integra LS axles, 190 lph fuel pump, injector resistor box, SI wiring harness, Dx wiring harness, PR3 ecu, and SI spindles. The subharness went to the knock sensor, VTEC oil pressure sensor, VTEC solenoid and the 2nd O2 sensor. We wired the 2 O2 sensors together and on the ecu plugs we spliced the VTEC solenoid into A8, the VTEC oil pressure into B5, the O2 sensors into C8, and the knock sensor into B19. We also had to do alot of wiring to convert the Civic to Mpfi Click here to goto my write up on how to do this.
You use the SI harness for everything else on the motor. We needed a new feul pump because we have the standard version and that doesn't have as big of a fuel pump. On one of the axles it doesn't have splines the hole way down the part that go's into the tranny, you can either try to find SiR axles on ebay o9r take the end to a machine shop and have them machine the inside part of the shaft, after the splines, down to the thickness of between the splines. And the B16 is cooled fine with an SI radiator as long as it's no little cheap radiator. That pretty much covers all the random bullshit. You can find all this stuff on ebay.
1st we got the stock motor out. Then we relocated the battery to the trunk cause there's no room for it because of the intake. 3rd we ground the stock front mount position off the front cross member cause they don't line up and dented in the left frame rail for alternator clearanbce. After that we where ready to drop the motor in. While it was still hanging we put the rear mount on the tranny. Then we tightened the 2 side mounts up and the back. Next we got the shift linkage, the axles and the spindles on. After that we connected all the ecu plugs up, ran the grounds and the motor was in. Next we connected all the vacuum hoses (as in diagram below). Last we had to grind some oif the new linkage off cause it was rubing under the car.
