Hi everyone. I recently picked up a B16A2 swap for my 95 Civic. I have looked and searched the internet and found most of the answers I need but I still need to clarify somethings.
So feel free to correct me where I'm wrong.
The axle midshaft is there but it needs the axles, I can use 94-01 Integra axles still, right?
The engine swap came with the wiring harness, but here is my question. Should I stay with that harness or use my stock harness that is in the car (I wired it for VTEC already)?
I am asking cause of the OBD difference, which distributor should I use, an OBD2b dizzy or an OBD1 dizzy (cause I plan on staying with my P28 ecu and just chip it)?
Lastly, which throttle cable? This one I have gotten 2 seperate opinions. I heard one opinion being used the Integra LS throttle cable or the throttle cable for the throttle body, and the other being use the stock DX cable?

This is no rush right now, cause the swap isn't going in anyway until have these parts. Plus I'm enjoying the turbo on the D series until the swap goes in. Thanks for any help.

 

Why not keep the turbo D? Unless you're planning on boosting the b16...

 

I was either gonna boost the B16 or get a shell in put it into that.

 

sell the B, put more into 1 car rather then 2. I have cars, now I'm attached to them both and wish I could afford to finish them both, buut really your never done and 2 is just doubling your costs. or put the b in and sell of all the d stuff to fund the b swap. ask Zeeman about the harness stuff to get the best option. as for the cable you can prolly use either cable. if you have one and not the other your prolly make it work, if you have both then just try the one already in your dx, if no bueno, switch it. I'm pretty sure that all b16 axles are the same for EG or DC, nto sure though, btu I do know I was at Cayuga once and my friend with a b16 teg snapped a shaft and we got one from another friend with a b16 EK, to get him home.

 

Stock cable will work, just need to move the bracket which tensions the cable over one bolt. If that makes any sense...so instead of two bolts holding it, you move it to the right and it all works just fine. Thats how mine is and have no problems.

Now somebody correct me if im wrong, but b16a2 is SIR engine meaning EK, therefore harness is 1 piece, so you will have to use your DX harness. All sensors will plug and play from what i can remember, except the distributor and alternator. Those have to match your OBD.

For shafts, you can get 94-01 integra/99-00 SIR shafts, will all work. Only difference between D and B is the ends and B series use a half shaft for driverside.

Hope this helps

 

Thanks D.T.P thats good to know.

 

One more thing. I read somewhere that my stock harnesss will not plug into the injectors from the B16A2. True or not? I thought that was also plug and play but I just want to make sure.

 

you can re-use your old OBD1 injectors, they're both 240cc.

When doing a swap I always use the original wiring harness for the car and modify it for the engine going in.

 

The b16a2 being obd2, the harness wont plug into the injectors, but as zeeman said, all injectors for d/b are same CC, just use your d series injectors that are obd1 and call it a day. I got few sets of obd1 injectors laying around, lmk if you need any.
