SamLach Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 hm ok, I probably forgot to mention that my civic is an automatic *ashamed*. So instead of all of those things that I should get that we were talking about earlier, should i just invest in a new tranny, cluch and all that crap? also is it difficult to pop a manual in an automatic car and make it work?? thanks alot Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chubs Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Swap your automatic transmission for a manual transmission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcletten Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 +1 to swapping to a manual, youll be muuch happier, plus its just more fun with a manual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EH6TunerDaniel Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Do you have a D or B? If its a D I say to get an ex trans. You will like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamLach Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 not sure to be honest, its at my dad's house right now so i cant go and check. i can tell ya its a 94 dx hatch (civic obviously...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcletten Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 does it have the stock motor in it still? if so its a d series motor, a d15b7 to be exact, and if so try to get your hands on a zc tranny, better than an ex/si trans, but the ex/si trans is good too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 try and get your hands on a B18B1. you got the perfect car for the swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamLach Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 im thinkin a tranny would be a better first investment, having a nice engine with auto isnt very fun to drive =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 If you did a B18B swap, then you'd be swapping tranny's too. Swap a B18B w/ manual tranny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcletten Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 my buddy has that hin his hatch n we took it to the strip n he ran a 15.2 so that is what youd expect in the end, not exact but around that time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamLach Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 oh really, comes with tranny? thats great, im oblivious to the whole engine buying thing =P. well thats great to know! I dont want a freaking porche in hatchback form lol..so 15 secs is def alright with me..i dont mind the price either 22 hundred i think it was, but no vtec :sad: is it still a decent buy?

SolLesHonda Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 That's because LS motors are not VTEC. If 15 secs is fine with you, than keep the D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamLach Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 you saying stick with my d15b7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 A d15b7 could hit 15's if you threw it in the trunk of a boosted teg. Get rid of the B7.....and do it fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleanGSR Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Yeah, your D15b7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamLach Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 Oh alright i see what you mean. B18B1 definatly looks nice...not too far out of my price range either. I should probably just get a new motor first before i try to make my engine any better with different parts . Just not sure that its a really good investment without vtec, but i dont really know, new to hondas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 VTEC is nice, but it's not a godsend like most people think. I'd take a boosted B18B1 over a B18C1 with bolt-on's (most people would). B18B1 is a good platform and if you boost it later, you won't care if you have VTEC or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 couldnt agree more hung.+1. and LMFAO at throw it in trunk of an integra for a 15 sec 1/4 , hahaha , awsome. heres the B1 we got in my boys 96 hatch : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamLach Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 Will it be difficult to fit the manual tranny and such? is there more than cutting holes for the clutch and the shifter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 no need for even that. you need any mount in your car that touches the tranny , out of a manual. pedal assembly. clutch master cylinder(slave should still be on tranny if not that too). axles out of a manual. shift linkage out of same generation manual. and a shiiit load of patience , lol.
