i have a 1990 civic si and was wonderin what i would have to change to put an acura 1.8 in it please let em know thanks....and would it be better to swap my d15b7 with the 1.8 then turbo it or just turbo my d15b7?

 

turbo b18 deffinatly.........and all your going to need for the swap is,
mount kit
integra axles(90-93 non abs)
modified integra shift linkages
integra ecu (90-91)

of course aside the engine and transmission

 

thanks...one more ?...if the b18 is on an automatic trans is there anyway to put it on a manual trans?

 

find yourself a cable b-serires transmission, clutch kit and flywheel along with 5spd flywheel bolts/pressure plate bolts and thats all you need.

 

allright thanks alot man i let you know how it turns out

 

The only suggestion i have is no integra modified shift linkage....that is ghetto...go on ebay and buy the hasport shift linkage, the cut and welded integra lingage is weak i have it....buy the one that fits...my crx had the hasport and it is so much better than this cut and welded modified integra linkage.

 

modified linkages are only ghetto if you dont know what your doing......were using one on our drag car that has seen a little over 3 years of use with no issues. prep the metal properly, jig it properly, and weld it right.but i know what your saying....im assuming your linkage was doen wrong. all my customers linkages are modified by me with no problems.

 

My lingage is fine however I can tell the difference between this swap with a welded linkage and my B16 with the custom fab...it seems to be worth the money to buy the one that is built to exact specs...you know how the heat and welding causes a margin of error

 

very true........if the modified linkage isnt welded to exact specs your entire shift feel will be terrible. my first modded linkage actually shifted crooked. for someone that can afford it by all means get a hasport/avid/any other brand shift linkage. but if your broke or a penny pincher like most of my customers a modded linkage done right should be fine.
