My civic sir b16a2 engine blew the other day and im now getting a new engine.

While i have the chance im looking at putting in a b18 integra engine, one of the 178bhp ones or a type R.

as the rest of my components are fine e.g transmittion etc can i link the new engine to my exising gear box?

I really want to try and get away with a straight engine transplant

or

will i need an integta engine and integra gear box.

Am i right in thinking that the engine will just bolt in?

I know i need new brackets (98-00 si) and i also believe i need to convert the wiring loom.

Can some one please let me know if the civic transmision will link to the integra engine and if i need any thing else for the swap.

My gear box is manual and im not sure if it has a LST, its from an N reg 96 SIR

If not i'll just get a new SIR engine and stick ITR cams in it........................

Also what engine code is the powerfull non type R engine, cause i dont want to buy an integra engine and find its a little bitch one........you know those 140ish brake ones.....................................

 

Oh and its a RHD.....also will the ECU need changing?
