D16z6 in STD!

Hello, i am going to be doing this swap soon and i heard that u need to swap knuckles and hubs? Is this true? will i need new axles? since my car is a 4spd?

thanx:smoker:

Also, How will i get around OBD-1?
Also what are the vtec pinouts? (ex. a5?) Oil pressure? (c5?)

thanx

You need to either buy a conversion harness, or re-wire your existing harness for the OBD-1 stuff.

this should help ya on the pins

A friend of mine has a 90 Civic base and wants to do the B16 swap. Will he need to get new hubs or can you use the base model ones. Also on the wiring, you have to hack the base motor harness. You can't use the one from another model because the plugs on the chassis harness are different.

no because it is still d series. but you need to if you go with b series.

however, i would seriously consider switching to a 4th gen Si tranny. i've had 4 dx's before the Si. it's hard to explain but....wow, what a difference a tranny makes! the Si tranny has a better gear ratio.

I heard that if i use a 5spd transmission i will have to change my hubs and knuckles because they are 4spd! Is this true?

thanx for the replys!:)

For the wiring part i don't really know. If his car is a 4spd then YES he has to change the hubs. He will also need new axles from 90-93 integra.

No,you cant use 90-93 Integra axels with the D16Z6. You will have to change the hubs but then just use the D16A6 axels because they will slide right into the Si tranny and also get the Civic/CRX Si hubs, that way everything will fit in just fine. I put the D16Z6 into my CRX so if you have any problems just let me know. I think i can remember back that far. :flipa: :D

I'm talkin to sikocivic guy cause his friend wanted to do a B16 SWAP in his STD! READ MAN !:) :D

sorry..no need to yell. Im not trying to be an ass but your wrong again. He needs to use the 86-89 Integra axels with the 90-93 Integra inner joints if he's doing it on a 88-91 HB. It would be 90-93 integra full axels for a 92+ Civic.;)

Also, i might do a b18a out of a 91 teg., i know i will have to get new hubs,axles,tranny, ect. . . . , but what axles do i use, do i use the axles like what Red rocket said? or can i use something else?
thanx

If you are going to do a B18A then use the 90-93 Integra axels with the 86-89 Integra outer joints. The reason i say that is because you will probably want your hubs off of a 88-91 Civic/CRX Si because those were originally 5 speed. If you need anymore help let me know.

Ok i wonder why my 90-93 axles fit for my b16 swap??

i never heard anything about using 88-89 outerjoints!! Ill i heard is use 90-93 axles!! And my friend did a b16 swap in his std and he never used those outer joints, just the 90-93 axles!
