Honda Civic Swap ( D16Y7 to B18C GSR)
Hello everyone! I am currently under taking on a civic swap, let me fill you guys in. I drive a 2000 Honda Civic, because I live in Canada its called the Honda Civic SE, but its pretty much A DX. It has the d16y7.. 1.6L sohc NON vtec. The Engine Iam putting in is the B18c GSR out of a 96 model. Now the company who I bought the engine from said All I needed for the swap was the following :
99-00 SiR rear transmission bracket
99-00 SiR Timing belt side post mount
94-01 GSR lower and upper rad hoses
94-01 GSR throttle cable
OBD2B to OBD2A conversion harness.
I bought all of that and Yes they do come in handy. Now the Problem is that I read somewhere because my Civic is a Non Vtec version, I need the wiring harness From a Civic with a Vtec so the Harness from the GSR will work. Can anyone please msg me back and give me some points or tips. Thank you everybody for your time!
