I just swapped a JDM 92 Civic SIRII B16A into my 91 Integra. Having trouble gettting it running, though, see below I swapped the B16A lower pulley for the stock b18A pulley and use the stock 91 Integra belt. I was forced. into this. i was going to use the B16A pulley and alternator, since it had a wider belt on the alternator, and the alt had lower miles, but I had to use the Integra PS pump and the PS belt would not line up witht the B16a Pulley. After I swapped the pulley back to the B18 pulley I had to swap back to my old V belt Integra alt., but it all lined up. I am waiting on an upper pS pump bracket. i think itis P54 (?) My B18 bracket would not bolt up to the B16 head, and to get the belt to line up when using the B16 upper bracket, I had to put a spacer between the pump and bracket, and use a longer bolt. Now the adjuster bolt does not line up. It works OK, just looks kinda ghetto, as thats one of the first things you see when opening the hood. I read somewhere to use the upper bracket off a GSR, which I think is a P54.
I recently bought a 1991 Acura Integra (OBD0) with a blown head gasket w/ 218k miles on the original B18A 1.8L, partially disassembled when I got it. I could not find a reasonably priced exact replacement, so on the advice of a "friend", I bought a 1992 Civic (OBD1)JDM B16A 1.6L w/ 41k miles. I guess I shouldn't be mad, asd I got a whole JDM clip for $850!!! I changed the water pump and timing belt. I did not verify the engine was at #1 TDC, I just swapped the belt w/ out moving the pulleys. When I swapped the original OBD1 distributor for an OBD0 VTEC dist., I also did not verify #1 TDC, I just put it on w/ out moving the dist or turning the engine and pointed the rotor to the same spot. I realize now that both of these were errors . I used the origianl B18 harness and injecors. I have an ECU that will enable me to run VTEC, but I haven't installd it yet. I have enough trouble without introducing another possible probelm. The trouble came getting the car running right/ It started up, but would not idle on its own, but would idle if the throttle was held. I ran the car awhile and tried several things to fix this. (In my haste, I forgot to look at the check engine light on th ECU to see if there were any codes, as itis under the carpet on th passenger footwell). I plan to check for codes tomorrow. I tried to drive the car, and I got to about 20 mph and the engine died. It did not make any horrendous noises or anything, it just died. It would turn over, but not start. I tried to start it maybe three times, and now it will not even turn over. The battery is not dead, but I put a charger just to be sure. I am going to check the starter and timing tomorrow. Part of the problem is the previous owner yanked all of the vacuum lines w/ out marking them when he pulled the intake.Any advice?
