motor swap question91tegra 03-04-2002, 02:24 AM have any of you guys put an integra motor in a 92-95 civic? how hard is the wiring to do? is it a direct bolt in ? i ask because i have a extra 91 integra motor and i want to put it in a civic i want to buy. so could you guys please help me? :D dreemkill 03-04-2002, 03:09 AM 1.) welcome to AF 1b.) read the FAQ. 2.) its illegal in i believe all states, to swap the engine from an older car, into a newer car. CivSiGuy 03-04-2002, 09:43 AM yep. 100% illegal to pull j.fuggi 03-04-2002, 10:12 AM i thought it was only illegal if you try and sell it as a 95 civic. isnt it legal if you either don't sell it, or if you just sell it as a 91 hybrid or whatever? RoCkIn CIVex 03-04-2002, 10:48 AM oh damn i never knew that putting an ols car's engine into a new car was illigal??:eek: dreemkill 03-04-2002, 01:20 PM i knew that before i even gave a damn about cars :P 91tegra 03-05-2002, 01:58 AM why would it matter if the motor is complety rebuilt. :confused: Rice-Rocketeer 03-05-2002, 08:47 AM Because unless everyone who buys the car takes the block apart to inspect, noone will know itīs rebuilt. You could buy a 2000. Swap in a 10 year-old motor, get some fake rebuild papers and sell both for profit. Would that be fair to anyone buying the car? Redcivic 03-05-2002, 10:28 AM B18A1, 130HP, 121lb/ft of torque, why bother? If it's not an EX than just get the D16Z6. The torque is nice but no you would have to be stupid to buy a 5th gen civic with a Teg GS motor in it. If it were the B17A1 then maybe but why bother ruining the resale by putting a GS motor in? I'm just saying, you will have a hard time selling it once you do it. Or maybe not, kids are ignorant these days. But it seems like too much of a hassle when you could just slap a SOHC VTEC in it for next to nothing. Killa_CRX 03-05-2002, 11:29 AM Can't be done very easily anyways.... see the 91 engine you speak of uses a cable clutch system, and the 92+ Civics use a hydrolic clutch... therefore without a bunch of extra work and money to fix that lil' problem, it's not a doable swap... As for the legality of the swap, you could do it yourself... just make sure not to get caught. But I dare you to find a reputable shop that would even think about it! Just sell the engine to some dude with a 88-91 Civic/CRX... RoCkIn CIVex 03-05-2002, 03:41 PM heyt how much would a complete swap of a 98+ ITR cost???? and would it fit in a honda civic HB iLLuCiv99 03-05-2002, 03:51 PM USDM or JDM ITR?...also the B18c5's are real hard to come by right? And real expensive! The guys in japan keep all the goodies for themselves, the JDM ITR motors being oneof them :finger: ;) RoCkIn CIVex 03-05-2002, 03:55 PM Originally posted by iLLuCiv99 USDM or JDM ITR?...also the B18c5's are real hard to come by right?

"The guys in japan keep all the goodies for themselves"[B] now thats gay gay way of putting it but yeah thats true! lol j/k :flipa: :silly2: :flipa: Redcivic 03-05-2002, 04:03 PM A type-R engine is not that hard to come by. You can get them all over for about $5,000.00 for a B16B and about $6,000.00 for a B18C5. I have seen them quite a few places actually.
