direct drop in?

[necessaryevil]

is: http://www.hmotorsonline.com/shop/sc2000search.cgi?what=page&item=30002 a direct drop in for a '88 civic hatch si?

 

[eg6sir]

other than running a few wires.. yes, pretty much

 

[necessaryevil]

what wires?

 

[efhondakid]

Youll have to run wires for VTEC and a second O2, youll also need mounts, and a few other things need to be done to the chassis to get it to clear.

its a complete changeover so it comes w/ mounts it says

 

[necessaryevil]

sweet thats what i like to hear. thanks much

It does come with mounts, they will make nice paper weights, no OE mounts will work when your putting a B into an EF, you have to have swap mounts.

 

[necessaryevil]

thats what hasport is for, right?

 

[eg6sir]

never swapped an EF so i was unaware the b-series mounts that came from a JDM crx wouldnt work..

 

[SwapShopRacing]

Yes the JDM Mounts are more like Integra mounts, if the package you are buying does not include swap mounts you will need to pick up a set.

Innovative Mounts B-Series Motor Mount Kits

 

[eg6sir]

hmm... so they sell mount kits for the EWs... sweet.. gives me an idea..

Or Innovative, or Avid.

Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.^_^

 

[97hatch]

yes a 88-91 usdm modle requires swap mounts for a b series
