Hi my names Travis, I have a 1996 Honda Civic DX and I blew the stock engine in it, I believe I threw a rod.
Anywayz I have decided on a swap and I am putting in a B16a2, im getting it from HMotorsOnline.com because I know that they have quality engines and I know that all the parts are there and working. I may do additional work to the engine, 4-2-1 header, new valves, new pistons, build up the block, new rods, maybe even bore it out, but that will be a lot further down the road.
I have never done a swap before but I have friends that have seen them done and I have a 19yr old mechanic friend to help me with it. I have a shop and all of the tools for it here at my house, and I also have the thick 1996-2000 Civic Service Manual from Honda Motors.
I will have all of these parts, which is the motor unit of course:
- Motor
- Hydraulic Tranny (S21, Y21)
- ECU (P30)
- Axles with Half Shaft
- Shift Linkage
- Stock Motor Mounts *
- Alternator
- Starter
- Clutch
- Flywheel
- Intake Manifold
- Exhaust Manifold
- Fuel Rail
- Injectors
- Distributor
- Engine Harness
- Comes With All Sensors Needed
- LSD Tranny (Optional +$300)
I believe I am going to get the LSD Tranny because I have heard good things about it, unless some-one else thinks otherwise?
But please if some1 has a list of the minimum things that I will need other than that, radiator?, trying to keep the cost down a little bit at least, I would love to know so I can have it all ready at the same time.
Thanks for the input
