i want to swap a b18a1 from a 1990 integra into a 1993 civic cx. what changes to wirings and mounts need to be done

you need a 93 and up b18 it'll be alot easier and legal

he needs a 94 and up B18B. 93 was still OBD0 and cable tranny I believe. If you swap in a cable tranny into your car, you need to buy a hydro to cable conversion kit.

not all motors 94 and up are b18b's

he said he wants a B18A1, the B18B is the same motor basically. If he said he wanted a B17A, then I would have said B18C1. But it's apparent he wants an LS motor, not GSR.

b18b is more powerful than a b18a its the same but different, hence the letters..

uh, no, the 90-91 B18A is less powerful, but the 92-93 is rated at the same 140 hp and 126 lb/ft of torque. the 90-91 was rated at 130 hp with 121 lb/ft of torque. The different letters is because they are a different generation and have minor adjustments made to them.

what changes to wiring whould have to be done if i were to go with the 94 engine and tranny

none to the wiring just need to get the right ECU to run it.

So if I have a 93 civic and had a real cheap way of getting a entire 91 integra with a B18a the only the thing extra i would need would be the cable conversion kit

The cheapest cable conversion kit I could find was $200 does anyone know of any cheaper

as a matter of fact i am in the process of doing the same swap in a 95 dx you do need the cable to hydrolic conversion also different mounts also you might want to get a 94 and up intake manifold the sensors are in a different spot the only difference is that i am going with a jspec tranny which has shorter gears than the ls tranny and b16 pistons to rais the compression. keep me posted on how yours is coming along

Two years ago your advice would have mattered to the guy. Please don't bring back old/dead threads. Thanks in advance.

I have a 95 civic hatch with a b18b1 swap i did myself....you dont need the hydraulic to cable conversion kit.....just run the damn cable and put the teg clutch pedal in. my engine if from a 95 teg. the tranny is from a 92 teg... the tranny was cable and the speedometer was also cable....just run cable.....but if you want to spend the 200 on the conversion kit and anywhere from 250-375 for motor mounts that say they are for the swap....but they end up not even workin....you have to drill different holes in the mounts(personal experience of a friend)....conclusion.....i spent $12 to do my swap...and that was for a chilton's manual.
there were only about 4-6 wires that were different between the 95 integra and my 95 hatch cx.....except for the ecu(my ecu is a b18a1) but it runs.......if you have any questions bout your swap, ill try and help you....im not the smartest about this swap...but my car runs and i havent had any problems
