B16 going to get one but ?s

Ok im going to get a b16 but I need to be able to smog it in california. Who has done this and what b16 was it and out of what kinda car. Please reply...

Oh ya I also have about $1500 to play with but im not looking to make monster HP I still need it as a daily driver and for a work car putting about 100-200 miles a day on it during peak season at my work.

Get the motor at www.Hmotorsonline.com $1150 for the whole shit ;) This includes mounts ecu cable trany and so on! I dont know about shiping prices probably about $200-300 the scrounge for a CAI and some Descent headers and do the swap yourself.

If you're trying to save money, i would hold out on the extra header. you know, one is only needed anyways :flipa:

Talk to EF_LSVtec about getting your swap legalized for CA, he has done this.

do u need b16 axles to put the swap in a dx hatch? im pretty sure im gettin a job at olive garden when they are hiring which = money which means i can get a b16 ahhhh...the happiness :D If i bought it off hmotorsonline what if anything else would i need to buy for the swap besides dpfi to mpfi wiring harness?

Nothing but some welding skilz ;) I pretty sure the SIR mounts that come with it will bolt directly in to the casis. (I was told this by EXP swapers) Im not sure if thats for Just the SI's or not. But if you have to you could buy some HAsport or placeRacing mounts... It would be cheaper/better if you just moved the mounts on you chasis, then again not everyone knows how to mig weld.

ahh Seth i knew u'd come through with a response ;) but no i think if they fit in the si's the sir mounts it would be the gayest thing i ever heard if they didnt fit on the dx's. Figure anything out with your car yet Seth? U coming to the meet still?

I just got a job about a month ago and i have some $$$, looking forward to my swap more than college......:smoka:

json79 did a b16 in his hatch. He used the b16a3 from a 94 del sol vtec so he could run OBD1, so he could get it legal in cali. a b16a1 will not be able to pass, since it isnt a usdm motor.

Not true! You can use a JDM motor and still get a bar certification! It has to have all the smog equipment and function like the equivelent USDM model of that same engine... SO if I got a JDM typeR motor I would have to have all the stuff off a USDM typeR car... Well ya know smog related stuff ;) I chated with the REFF about this one day while an aquanence was getting reamed for all the illeagal shit under his hood... I guess they didnt like the individual TB setup hooked up to a T66 turbo... I dunno why :devil:

Not sure yet... If I get everything squaerd away with my ride then you can all see how ugly and fawked up it is... You gonna give me some lovin if I do come? J/K

All I want is to get a motor im not going to have to hassel with at the ref station.

The SiR mounts or the integra mounts that come with most b16 swaps will not just bolt into the 88-91 civic/crx chassis without modification. When I was doing my swap I tried to see if it was possible but the mount locations needed to be hacked out and rewelded in slightly different locations for the stock mounts to work.

you will definataly need new mounts, dont even attempt the hack-n-stuff method, it aint worth it.

i got my motor from hmotorsonline and they gave me all i need, besides the mounts. all you will have to do is rewire the motor to your DX harness so everything works.

then get the b16a3, and convert your wiring to obd1.

dude its gonna be hard, but it can be done. i've talked to a ref before and he told me the same thing. if your gonna do the b16 everything that has to do with smog has to be changed over to your car, from whatever year delsol the engine is from. then you have to take it in so they can look at it and get u a bar. it is a hassel. also try taking to some dudes that dont really know hondas and if emissions passes they probley wont even know thats a swap,:D

Dude, I am SOOOOO glad I live in Florida. I dont have to worry about all that emissions bullshit. :D

so theres no piont of getting a b16a1??
