xalexjx@yahoo.com Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Basics of Engine Swaps: what fits in what Overview In order to properly cover every aspect this section will be broken down into many sections. First, its important to decide what you’re goals are. If you’re interested in running 15 second quarter miles without hassle or complication then finding a B16 is probably your best bet. Some of us are interested in running 11 and 12 second quarter miles. For this type of performance it’s important to plan every detail so that the engine is capable and reliable when asked to perform. Another part of planning that should be done before the swap begins is whether or the engine will be naturally aspirated or have forced induction. These are all questions that need to be answered before the swap so that you’re satisfied when everything is complete. Finding the Proper Engine: There are many engine choices for each vehicle so we’ll cover all of them. First it’s important to understand that On Board Diagnostics play a large role in which engines are easiest and recommended. All Honda’s 1991 and earlier are considered OBD 0. This means that the engines don’t utilize any oxygen sensors and have little in the way of emissions control. Next there are OBD 1 engines that are found in all cars from 1992-1995. These vehicles have traditionally been the best platform for the most “factory-like” hybrids. Finally, anything from 1996-1998 is OBD 2. 1999-2000 is OBD 2b. It’s also important to remember that its only legal to swap in engines of the same or newer OBD series. That is to say that an OBD2 engine can be placed into a 1988 CRX legally and without many wiring problems. Consequently its illegal in most states to use OBD 0 engines in cars that should have OBD1 or OBD2 power plants. Of course there are people who disregard these laws and regulations but its not recommended or necessarily that easy. 4th Generation: 1. ZC, D16A8, D16A9: Completely Bolt-In Swap. Transmission: Use ZC/D16A8/D16A9 Tranny Shift Linkage: Use stock Civic/CRX shift linkage Axles: Stock Civic/CRX Wiring: Retain stock harness Upper Radiator Hose: stock Lower Radiator Hose: stock Throttle Cable: stock *There may be clearance issues with the ZC, either a new hood, trimming of the old hood or trimming the valve cover is required. 2. B16A: Mount kit required Transmission: S1, J1, A1, Y1 or YS1 Shift Linkage: Need adjustable shift linkage from Hasport or shortened shift linkage from 90-93 Integra Axles: B16A Axles Wiring: DX, LX, and Standard (dual point injection) models the wiring needs to be modified for port injection first. To use PR3 or PW0 four wires need to be added, VTEC, VTEC oil pressure, knock sensor and second O2. Upper Radiator Hose: 92 GSR, trim to fit Lower Radiator Hose: 90 Integra, trim to fit Throttle Cable: 90 Integra Clutch Cable: Stock Air Conditioning: Use Hasport AC bracket with stock AC compressor. Chassis Prep: Make a dent on the left-hand frame rail for alternator pully clearance. Emissions: Purge cutoff solenoid valve needs to be Teed into the fuel pressure regulator for vacuum source. 3. B18A: Mount kit required Transmission: S1, J1, A1, Y1 or YS1 Shift Linkage: Need adjustable shift linkage from Hasport or shortened shift linkage from 90-93 Integra Axles: B18B Axles Wiring: For Si, EX, and HF (port injection) models modify the engine harness to fit. DX, LX, and Standard (dual point injection) models the wiring needs to be modified for port injection. Custom wiring harnesses are available for dual point injection applications from Hasport. Upper Radiator Hose: 92 GSR, trim to fit Lower Radiator Hose: 90 Integra, trim to fit Throttle Cable: 90 Integra Clutch Cable: Stock Air Conditioning: Use Hasport AC bracket with stock AC compressor. Chassis Prep: Make a dent on the left-hand frame rail for alternator pully clearance. OBD1-OBD2 Engine Swaps into 89-91 Civic/CRX To install an OBD1-OBD2 engine into your 4th Generation Civic/CRX the following adjustments will need to be made. First, if your car has dual point injection a conversion will need to be made to port injection. All Integra's 1994 and up and Civic's 1992 and up all use hydraulic transmissions. Therefore its not compatible with 4th Gen Civic's because these vehicles have cable transmissions. To complete the swap a B-series cable transmission will need to be used or a cable-hydro transmission conversion will need to be made. The left side bracket needs to be changed to a 1990-1993 Integra bracket. For the ECU, it is best to use the ECU which belongs with the engine. Several wiring adjustments will need to be made to make the engine run correctly. For LS-VTEC's, CRVTEC's and other Frankenstein's it is easiest to use the ECU that corresponds to the distributor and head. There are also reprogrammed ECU's which can be considered. 4. B17A/B16A2/B16A2/B16B: Mount kit required Transmission: If your engine is a 92-93 B18A or B17A, the one that came with the engine, but for the other engines, any of the cable clutch operated B-series transmission including Japanese or American market S1, J1, A1, Y1 or YS1. Mounts: Hasport bolt in mount kit p/n #M88-B16-10. For 94 and up engines the timing belt side engine bracket will need to be changed for the 90-93 Acura bracket p/n # ECU: B16A ECU/B17A Axles: With a small amount of modification, the axles that come with the engines being transplanted (excluding the B20 engines) will work perfectly in most cases. The axles are from a 94 or later car, the left-hand transmission seal, the one for the intermediate shaft, should be changed for one from a 94 Integra, p/n #91205-PL3-A01. Shift Linkage: Hasport custom linkage p/n #l88-B16-10 or shortened 90-93 Integra linkage. Wiring: For these engines, you will want the injectors, ECU and distributor from the 89-91 B16A. If your car is an Si, HF, EX the stock harness can be easily modified to fit the engine. Then use Hasport conversion harness p/n #W88-Si-VTEC for the additional wires needed to run VTEC. Upper Radiator Hose: 92 GSR, trim to fit Lower Radiator Hose: 90 Integra, trim to fit Throttle Cable: 90 Integra Clutch Cable: Stock Air Conditioning: Use Hasport AC bracket with stock AC compressor. Chassis Prep: Make a dent on the left-hand frame rail for alternator pully clearance. B18C/B18C5: If your engine is a 92-93 B18A or B17A, the one that came with the engine, but for the other engines, any of the cable clutch operated B-series transmission including Japanese or American market S1, J1, A1, Y1 or YS1. Mounts: Hasport bolt in mount kit p/n #M88-B16-10. For 94 and up engines the timing belt side engine bracket will need to be changed for the 90-93 Acura bracket. Axles: With a small amount of modification, the axles that come with the engines being transplanted (excluding the B20 engines) will work perfectly in most cases. Click here to see the modification needed. If the axles are from a 94 or later car, the left-hand transmission seal, the one for the intermediate shaft, should be changed for one from a 94 Integra, p/n #91205-PL3-A01. Shift Linkage: Hasport custom linkage p/n #l88-B16-10 or shortened 90-93 Integra linkage. Wiring: For this engine, you will want the injectors and distributor from the 89-91 B16A. If your car is an Si, HF, EX the stock harness can be easily modified to fit the engine. Then the VTEC and air intake bypass can be hooked up with the addition of only two wire to the ECU and one to ignition power. For dual point injected motors, Hasport sells a conversion harness to help. Upper Radiator Hose: 94+ GSR, trim to fit Lower Radiator Hose: 90 Integra, trim to fit Throttle Cable: 94+ GSR or Type R Clutch Cable: Stock Air Conditioning: Use Hasport AC bracket with stock AC compressor. Chassis Prep: Make a dent on the left-hand frame rail for alternator pully clearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajbjorn Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 does anyone know what would be needed to swap an F-seriesin a 96 HX I will be getting the engine from a friend for really cheap and want to know if it is worth trying or sell it to get money for a more common swap......the current engine is burning tons of oil and it has over 220K on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EH6TunerDaniel Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Make your own thread, actually, no, dont do that. SEARCH. There is tons of info on what you would need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
