So today I was told that I need to take the throttle cable off the integra and pull the harness out of the firewall to do the swap, is this true?I mean i figured you only needed to do something like that if you were changing from like OBD1 to OBD2. Since I am taking a OBD2 motor and putting it in an OBD2 car it should just be plug and play right? can someone please shed some light on this I need to know ASAP as I have started parting out the integra.

Also I am going to go with an aftermarket flywheel and clutch. I have a clutch picked out but now I am also wanting to know who the best brand for a flywheel might be? I am thinking Fidanza, but that leads me to my next question how light should I go with? I mean I want it rev faster but I am not wanting it to fall out of the power band every time I shift.

 

Well I sold the integra today, so I got a few pictures of it right before it left so here you go. Enjoy.

A few pictures with it sitting by the civic waiting for its trailer to come.




On the trailer leaving:


with that out of the way that means I have room to start the civic:

 

is your Civic a 5-speed, EX?

 

yes 5 speed ex

 

You'll use your stock engine harness. The Integra harness doesn't work in 96-00 civics because it's not one piece. The Civic harness runs through the firewall. You will need to add wires for the IAB (if you're using the stock GSR intake manifold).

Thanks mxs your are becoming a major help with this project

 

The gsr cme with a b18 series block, from that you can do anything, lookfor the heads, rods, pistonsfrom other B series engines whether DOHC or Sohc, the blocks are different, a dual block wont take a single head,and find one that wil give the amount of compression you want, maybe some vtec too. Remember lower compression allows more boost with turbo systems. I would rebiuld the engine completely, there are plenty of articles on the bseries, plenty of parts. Integras are so sought after because you don't have to swap engines for that extra 30 hp or 50 hp, which means more money towards other things like the brake upgrade, good idea... especially since you want more hp, gotta be able to stop right...good luck

 

Well I got home today and the parts I have been ordering are slowly starting to get here today my Energy shifter bushings got here, thanks to remmy's advice. Anywaise I am still waiting to be done driving tractor for the summer to get paid and start buying my other good stuff

So here are some pictures from today, now its just a matter of getting the GSR motor ready and the brake swap done anywaise as my girlfriend takes lots of pictures here are some from today:


Got to reach down and get those phucking sensors unplugged so might as well have a smile on my face since i know what the end result will be.


On its way out taking a few things off to make the removal easier.


My great girlfriend is very into the project to. Its great having agirl that wants to learn more about moding cars (hence why she is registered on here)
