Good luck!
it's not uncommon to put an LS engine in a civic. at all. and of course the brackets are going to be different you're trying to put a bigger engine in the car that only comes with a 1.6
couldnt you just flip the bolt and bend the bracket?
everything looks good but please for goodness sakes take off the 1.8l DOHC sticker it looks terrible [imho] and youre asking for the car to get stolen.
do you have any under carriage pics of the exhaust? if you get a riffled resonator it should calm the sound down
great job!
I'm not a fan of the1.8l emblem either. Its just begging for thieves. Its gonna be tough to quiet down that exhaust because its a strait through design. Get a muffler shop to weld on something chambered. The Apexi ws2 muffler is one of my favorites because it looks subtle and isn't very loud.
you should be able to bend the bracket out of the way. give it a try
Looks like you had all your ducks in a row before starting the swap, good work! I'm piecing together a B20b swap along the same lines, I'll likely check back here a few times before that goes down.
I did a ton of reading and it paid off.
precisely. if only more "noobs" understood that, instead of just jumping onto every message board asking a billion questions. this thread is living proof that the answers are out there if you're patient enough and take some initiative to find it yourself. where in CT are you from anyways? i live up north in Suffield. it's right on the Mass border
did you adjust the valves when the engine was COLD as in not started over night?
and the idle a little more than 750 and less than 1k is the best spot... imo
