...or punctuation. Sorry, I am no help. crxls did a B18 in his HF though, ask him.

i'll be interested to hear how your swap goes, since you've got a head start on me

Smell a project thread? With lots of pictures

[aaa86crx]

i will try to take to take lots a pic not much of a picture guy but have been trying just did paint job and didnt start taking pic until it was all maked off but i will get some it will be awhile befor it happens just getting my things straight first and the donner car is 250 mailies away i have no truck and trailer so it wll be have to be hauled over by as much as i can fir in the back of my crx

[Screech]

Rent a truck and get the whole car if you have a place for it. Will make swap much easier, especially if your first, to have both there to compare things on them. I would have never gotten my Civic where it is now without both the 87 Integra and 99 CR-V being parked nearby when putting the B20 in mine. Also, punctuation in your post will make it much easier for us to read them.

[aaa86crx]

i dont have the room to haul it to my place i have a friend w/the same car so i will be able to compare with his. does anyone know how the axle setup will be from what i have read i have to get special axles what about the hubs and all the rest of the front end will it all be ok? i think will taking parts off the donner im going to get all the suspension that is still good the engine wiring harnes, ecu, motor mounts, shift linkage, shifter, is there anything else that i will need for sure off the car im going to have long to take what i need off the car. but if there is anything anyone need i can probbly get it for you drivers side front is smashed up not sure how bad havent seenit yet.

screw that, having done a B swap on a car that is going to stay a daily driver and will probably not be running 12's any time soon, I wasted a LOT of money when I should have just rebuilt the stock engine with lots of goodies and put a shot of nitrous on it!
don't get me wrong, I LOVE my car with my (almost the same engine as that but with a few more hp) but I would be much happier with a really well built EW instead. I think 14's are do-able on all motor, 87 octane burning EW's that could even take a few lbs of boost and get you into 13's.

The only reason to go B series is if you have an unquenchable desire to spin your tires more than any human should and you want to build up your engine to make your car run 12's or better- other than that, it is a massive waste of time, money, and effort. there are a lot of better things you could do with your life, I wish I did! lol I could have built my stock engine to run on propane and built a nasty carb turbo setup that would probably put my car into 13's for 1/3 of the price of my swap that isn't even 100% functional (idle issues, radiator needs upgrade, 5th gear decided to take a piss, and it really needs a surge tank)

this swap is not for a person without a good 5+ years experience in the honda world+general mechanics just an fyi
this engine was never meant to live in these cars, that is the underlying truth and there is no denying it.

92 acura integra with a b18
1 You'r car is OBDO and the Integra is OBD1
2 The front hubs you need are 86/87/88 Integra

Pull as much wringing out of the Integra ECU to the Engine and as far as you can to the driver side. and ass much as you can on the other side from the side.

OOO big ???? is you'r car an SI??? If not fuel pump ,lines ECT...

You'r OBDO or OBD1 is you biggest part OBDO is a lot easier ODB1 is a lot of wiring changes.
Harmonic Damper Crank Pulley I have had to cut my Pulley down to just the alt. and A/C to fit in the car.

There is a lot more LOL LOL will check back

I'm having SURGERY this month so I will have time to finish my b18 wring diagram

I've done the b16a VTEC swap to my old 87 crx si. It was certainly an uncommon swap in my neck of the woods, but the whole experience was worth it.

OBO1 is more tune-O-bowl But A lot more wring
Look here
www.hondata.com/engines.htm

We have one CRX that's a B18 that's OBO and one that's OBO1. I think zakats did a OBO2.
I'm hopping to have some time to finishes my diagram. BUT I will only have my left hand to wright it up... or one finger to type with....lol







be good
be safe
CRAZY

[aaa86crx]

WOW just a little bit more wiring. so right now im running oboo with the ew4 i think that what i have been told it is. so if was going to go with the oboo can i use my ew4 ecu or not. if i go obo1 i have to strip all the wiring from engine to ecu and use that correct? is there any performance difference? if i use oboo will i need the acura engine wiring harness or do i use the crx harness. well i just dont know how to write what im thinking so maby this will get me somewhere. thanks everone
