It was one of my customer's cars. The body not in terrible condition, but I'm going to paint it in the spring. Until then, I need to get the car running so I can daily drive it. I have a bit of money to spend on this thing, but I'm looking for a true budget project.
It has the 70 horsepower 8 valve engine that is completely worn out, and a 5 speed manual transmission. I am looking for either a complete drivetrain from a 90-95 Integra RS/LS/GS (B18B) or a D16Z6 with the engine, wiring, and computer.
I already read up on the Integra B18 swap, and it seems pretty damn easy, just a bit hard to find a good complete assembly. The D16Z6 engines, I have rebuilt before and are pretty easy to find.
Finally, my questions:
Is the CX transmission geared better or worse than the other D series transmissions? I noticed they have a different interchange number
If I decide to go with the d16z6 engine, wiring harness, and computer, am I going to need anything else? I'm also wondering if I should get a different manual transmission as well.
Any suggestions will be helpful. I normally mess with the G2 Legends and 3.5 swaps, but I have owned and worked on plenty of EG civics.
