My son has a 93dx with the d15 that threw the timing belt and destroyed the motor. We removed the motor and looked for a swap. He got an 92 integra with the b18a1 that is rotted to pieces but runs well to put in the dx. After many searches I have so much conflicting info I'm gonna post here and see what I can find out. Other than 1 post from DAX nobody seems to have done this swap because most b18a1s are obd0, however this is obd1 to obd1. If we do this swap will it be like a later series b18 swap only without the obd problems or am I looking at a lot of extra work. I asked about this swap on another forum and got major conflicting answers so need some help. We are not looking to turn this into a racer at this time but may play around after he has more cash. I really need to get this done so he has a car to get to work cause the weather is changing and when it turns bad I'm not riding my bike anymore. Here goes my questions-
1 From what I've read no major wiring should be required, true or false? If wiring is required what will that be?
2 What engine mounts do we use?
3 Do I need to change tranny linkage?
4 What axles do we use, integra"s or dx's or some other?
5 Is there anything special we're gonna need?
6 Dx has hydraulic clutch, Integra has cable clutch which my son wants to use, is this more trouble than its worth or not a big deal?
I appreciate any help I can get from everybody here, this is kinda time sensitive cause he needs to get this car up and running soon. We are pulling the integra's motor this weekend, gonna order a new clutch for it, and get the motor in the civic next weekend up and running. Although I'm not a master mechanic I am competent and do most of my own maintenance so I think we can do this.
Again thanks to all who try and help!
