Default The complete b16a1 SWAP PARTS LIST NO ONE ever bothered to type up, just for YOU!

hey mods, sticky this one!

yes, i posted this up in a few other forums- its too good to miss and i wanted everyone thats been searching for the info forever to see it!



Ok, here is a list of parts that you will need to perform the swap on your 88-91 honda civic hatch. Mind you, this is the basic parts in order to put everything together, I am not going to cover stuff like tools/procedures things like that, but this is all the major hardware that would take more than running down to your local autoparts store.

> -B16A 1st gen Motor
> -Cable transmission
> -PW0 or PR3 ECU
> -Axles (Will come with it, or 90-93 integra)
> -Mount kit (hasport recommended)
> -modified Linkage (hasport recommended)
> -The front steering knuckles/hubs from a hatchback Si
> -Fuel Injector Resistor pack (also get from a hatch Si or CRX HF/Si)
> -Throttle cable (you need a 90-93 integra and custom fab a bracket)
> -92 GSR upper radiator hose (trim to fit)
> -90 integra lower radiator hose (trim to fit)
> -Heater core hose is I believe 5/8" you can get it from any pars
> store. Take a piece of your old hose.
> -Will have to take the car to get the exhaust modified after the
swap,
> the header wont bolt up to the cat.
> -Get creative with the intake. You can get cone filters at the auto
> parts store. I dont know what other people run.
>
> These are the main components, you'll also need the regular stuff
>
> -Engine Hoist
> -32mm socket for axle nuts
> -8mm dowel pin punch (or find a bolt that you can punch out the linkage pin)

> Other stuff:
>
> -4.3 quarts oil
> -coolant (I think 2 gallons, definately not more than 2)
> -tranny fluid (Honda MTF)
> -Tranny fluid pump
> -Oil Filter
> -Wire (20-24 gauge is fine)
> -Wire strippers
> -Soldering iron
> -solder
> -electrical tape/heat shrink
>
> Replacement parts (some should be done at time of swap)
>
> -Distributor Cap & Rotor (get for 90-93 Integra LS)
> -Clutch (Get from 90-91 Integra LS)
> -Spark plug wires
> -Spark plugs
> -Fuel Filter
>
> Thats about as complete a list as it gets. You can pickup up a helms manual www.helminc.com for instructions on removing/ installing an engine into your car. It shows procedures and you will get an idea of what parts to use as well as torque specs. As far as wiring goes, there is a good writeup over at www.hybrid-k.com about it. You will have to change your DPFI to MPFI and add wires for the distributor, knock sensor, VTEC, and 2nd O2 sensor.


Hope this helps all you poor people that have been looking forever online for a full list of parts that could NEVER find one as complete as this! peace- Mike

Thanks for the list, you might want to add timing belt to the replacement parts list.

front steering knuckleses can be from any ef civic except the crx main components
hf or the civic hb standard (both had the smaller axles/spindles)...only need to do this if you have the hf or std

tools
pickle fork for taking off the ball joints

replacement parts at the time of the swap...
alternator belt should be done also

suggestion after the swap itself
after running the engine for 30 minutes do another oil change to complete the flush of the engine

The Hf and Si had the same throttle cable, and I can't see why you wouldn't be able to use it!

Also with the hubs, you can swap everything over to the integra front brakes/hubs. Bigger diameter!
