89 civic 4spd conversion ls swap

I found a 89 civic hatch with the 4spd for 500 dollars so i can have something to race :evillol: with but i want to swap an ls motor in it with a 5spd tranny. now heres my question would it take alot of parts to do it like changing a auto to manual or would it be the same since it has clutch and everything there for a manual, so it would bolt up the same and or can you guys tell me what i will need thanks alot you guys are always there to help

Do a search, this has been heavily discussed... Basically, here's what you'll need:

Engine
Cable B-series tranny
OBDZero B-series ECU
Motor mount conversion kit
B-series shift linkage
Axles/Intermediate shaft
Rewire for MPFI/Add resistor box.

It's a pretty intensive swap, but runs great in the 4th gen. I know several people who have done it and it works fine. There are also several other sites like hondaswap.com or honda-tech.com or hybrid.honda-perf.org where you can get more info... It's been done lots, so you should find plenty of stuff. You'll probably end up spending a couple grand at least on it, after you buy all the little parts and pieces that you need...

you would also need dx/si hubs for the axles to work if i remember correctly.

And obviously you'll need the pedal assembly from a standard Civic also.

but its a 4 speed civic, he was just asking if he would need as many parts as like and auto to manual conversion :D

oops, forgot to mention the hubs, thanks GTA...

I've gone cross-eyed.
Maybe my reading skilZ need some catching up on, but is he not needing to convert from the 4 speed auto to a 5 speed LS tranny?!

no the car is 4spd i was using it as an example cause i want a b18a swap with the 5spd 90-93 ls teg. sorry for posting it i forgot to check to see if it was already posted til after the fact.... i felt like a damn newbie sorry thanks for the info also what is the resistor box that i need for the swap??? i thought ls swaps are pretty easy well they probably are compared to b18c probably

also i was wondering with the ls motor i know i need the swap like engine, mounts tranny axle but what about wiring since it is a standard civic, will it be more difficult than a si or something

to answer your questio about a 4 speed to a 5 speed, all you need to do is bolt the 5 speed on and it will work, now for the b18swap thats a different story, but i am sure everyone has given you the info on switchin out the hubs and stuff
