1.5 engine swap
 

Hi

I have a 1.5 SOHC and i want to swap to a 1.6 esi,i phoned the person i would be getting the engine from and they said it was a BA..7 i think???it is 125 BHP

Would it be a straight swap with my 1.5lsi he is providing me with the ecu and wiring loom?

Thanks

Chris

nope, you'll need motor mounts for a b series motor

is that it????

if you're getting a B16 to replace your SOHC you'll need a B-seriel tranny(should be with the engine) and according ECU plus other small parts.

what is a tranny???The engine will come with an ecu,my question is is it a major job or is it relatively simple???

RE: 1.5 engine swap
 

tranny is short for transmission, for the most part, no SOHC tranny will bolt to a DOHC motor.

You'll need the wiring for the B16, the motor mounts, ecu, possibly axles, I'm not sure for the EG civics on axles. Other then that you should be good to go.

Consider replace the clutch, throw out bearing, timing belt, water pump, alternator, and starter while you have the motor out of the cart before dropping it in so you have no worries down the road.

cool,it comes with wiring and ecu and mounts so it is only the transmission i have to check?

RE: 1.5 engine swap
 

yea but is it only coming with the orginal mounts? The mounts you need are custom fabercated (sp) mounts to make the motor bolt onto your mounts

ah no they are the mounts the engine comes with?at least i assume so as it is from a salvage place,

yeah your going to need the motor mounts that are custom made for your car to bolt in a B series motor
