Need Help with my Gsr A1 Ls vtec swap

[DrAy]

Hey all iam a new member here. K this is what i need help with, i have a 2000 civic si and i am trying to put a 1990 Gsr A1 Ls vtec in to it.

This is how the engine is built. I got a

1990 block
99 si head
scunk 2 headers
H22 injecters
b17 tranny

so the problem is the wireing is different from the my civic si.

if any one done this kind of swap before, what do i need to do to get the car up and running.

Any little help would be great.^_^

 

[asmallsol]

What harness are you running.

Getting that tranny to work is going to be a bitch because it is cable and your car is hydraulic. I would go with a diffrent transmission for sure.

 

[AHHVTEC]

as long as your useing the 99 si head all you have to do is drop it in and plug it up, and just for a note there was no 90 modle gsr they didnt come out untill 92

 

[DrAy]

well iam not sure what kind of wire harness i am useing but it dos not hook up to my Si wireing.And what kind or tranny do you prefer?

 

[AHHVTEC]

if your car is a 2000 si were is the stock harness

 

[welfare]

if your car is a 2000 si, where is your stock tranny?

 

[DrAy]

The shell what stripped and the engine was missing and all the wireing

 

[hazzardboy95]

Wow, that blows. How much was the shell, tell me free!

 

[DrAy]

no i didnt get it for free it cost me 1500.

By the way can any one tell me what tranny will fit my b18A1

 

[DrAy]

no i dont get if for free i paid 1500 for it.

by the way can any one tell me what tranny will work with my engine.

 

[MikeBergy]

Any 94-2000 b16 or b18 transmission will work in your car. Get a stock 1999 or 2000 Civic Si or Ex harness off ebay, and you should be good if you are using a 2000 Si head like you say.

Any B-series hydraulic tranny.

And then get a wiring harness that is the same make and model of your head.

 

[DrAy]

K thanks alot every one ill get back to say how it went...

 

[jubbeng]

hey dude u can still use the cable tranny

 

[jubbeng]

u will have to use your master cylinder to push the cable clutch lever
its a pretty ok conversion

The conversion sucks ass, I used it for about 1 year on my civic/ys1 tranny, the position of the slave cyl on the tranny with the kit installed makes it so that water gets trapped in the bore of the cylinder causing pre-mature failure, in 1 year I went through 2 brand new slave cylinders plus the original one.
I would only recommend this if you arent gong to drive the car in the rain or on wet roads, or if you really can't find a hydro tranny and all you have is a cable.
Its not worth it to have to put in a new slave cyl every 4 months.

Thanks for your help but i already bought a b16a2 tranny and an 2000 wire harness ^_^
