B18's fly for about $2000 more around here. I might just see if I can find an automatic integra parts car around here and pick it clean.
Why must this car remain automatic? You're really limiting yourself here...
Call it a handicap . And the car is more or less a daily driver when the weather is fair. I was just curious about the swap because everyone tells me engine swaps in EK's are rediculously easy. I learned that an autobox from an H or F series wont accually fit in the car physically.
In reality, I think Im going to just rebuild the top end of the D16Y8 thats in it and fly with that for now. Im no stranger to performance, I just have a really really good condition EK that I'd like to pump a couple more HP out of. I thought a DOHC swap would compliment it nicely.
swaps into ek's are easy. just not h/f series. an sohc vtec is considered a swap, hell, you could turbo the current setup and have a nicel ittle car.
i just finished this swap. DONT DO IT, it is way too much work. go with a jdm gsr auto or something.
yes its a lot of torque, however, i had to cut the frame on the passenger side, make a custom trans mount out of a inovative maunal peice (they said they sent a auto mount and i wasnt going to wait another2 weeks for a replacement) , custom harness, use a teg shifter and cable, splice a h22 and d16 exhaust mani (could have bought that kiddracing tri y but its freakin $400), relocated the fuel filter to the driver side to use a d16 fuel line. intall a pusher fan on the radiator. ill take pics tonight and post.not really,do the research and youll be fine ,and once youve done that the work is easyjust follow the proper procedures ,so dont belieave the hype about h22 swaps its not that hard and youll be impressed with the torque it gives you in your civic,if you have any questions pm me back..good luck.

yes, strip the plastic wire loom on your harness on where the small peice goes to the injectors close to where it goes to the main harness. there are four yellows/black and a red,yellow,brown,blue, and i cant remember what color the two for the iacv are, but, cut the four yellow/blacks that go to the injectors close to the main harness and connect the 4 red wires from the resistor box to them on the injector side of what you cut. the four others that go to the main harness go to the single yellow/black that comes from the resistor box. make sure you add enough wire to mount the resistor box on the shock tower . throw some loom on it and your done.do you know where you hooked up your power wire from resisterbox to? becuz thats what im doing know and dont where to splice into..
