Default info on Engine Swap!!!

I just did a major transplant on my car from a d series engine to my JDM B16a engine swap... At first I though this would of been a very hard process but then some one told me about this web site where u can buy preety much anyhonda engine u want based on how deep ur pockets are... So for under 2500 I ordered my B16 that came with everything it needed to run including a tranny... The engine got to the shop in about a week, and few days after that I was driving my civic with a B16 with about 35,000 miles on it all for about 3 grand...

ok so if anyone is planning an engine swap u should check this site out

If you get a real jdm motor the the wire harness will not work becuase the jdm motor is for a right hand drive civic and the harness is different so you need to use the old harness and if you have a cx the you need to wire the vtec to the computer

you dont "need" to use a USDM harness, its just alot easier and a lot prettier. if you remove the clips that hold the harness in place, it will stretch across the bay to the USDM plugs. but it turns out a lot better looking with a USDM harness wired correctly.

you cannt use the jdm harness because the fuss box is the the other side. if you do use the jdm harness you will have to run a cable from the starter to the fuss box.
