Swapper for life!
Howdy all. I've been out of the Honda scene for a while, and while I do know about lot EGs, that's probably my limit. Recently I've been looking for a car to start racing HPDE in NASA with. I found an EF and I decided to snatch it up. The body is in great shape. The hitch is that the motor is not in it, and it doesn't come with the original motor. The original was a D15B2, and I'm guessing it's OBD0???? I work at Advance, and it wasn't hard to have some loyal customers start looking for me. I had one who just so happened to be doing a motor for a kid in that EF. The retard obviously didn't do ANY research into how to do the swap, and realized after it was too late that he didn't want to do the extra work involved.
Well, for 300 bucks, I couldn't resist. The motor I'm getting with it is a B18B1. I know I need to get a set of motor mounts for the swap, and I need the transmission too. Here are my questions........
Am I going to need the B18 Harness?
If so, what kind of adaptive harnesses will I need?
The Stock tranny was a Hydro. I know I'll need to find a B series tranny (*kicking myself for selling my GSR tranny now*). What other modifications would I have to do to the driveline? Will I need to get Teg axles? Will the stock linkage work mated up to a B series tranny? or is there a special linkage I need to buy? And will I have to replace the steering knuckles.
I'll keep my eyes open while I read through all the posts I can in this section, but ANY help you guys can give me from start to stop with this swap would be much appreciated. I'll see if I can't start up a log when I get going on this project. Would this be the section to start an EF specific swap?
THanks for the help guys, and I can't say how happy I am to be the proud owner of a honda again.
