ls swap help

k i am about to take out my stock motor, but how do i take off my speedometer cable, i mean do i take it off at the tranny or do i take it off at the cluster and just take out the whole cable with the car ?

oh yeah, do any of you guys know if i can use my stock dx fuel line or do i need to use an si fuel line ?

Take it off at the trans. There should a a little clip holding it in. It is shaped like a funny looking U. Then you can just pull the cable out of the trans. I used the stock dx line with my ZC and now I still have the same line with my b16a.:)

Oooo the famous fuck clip. The first thing that you say after you lose it is fuck. I think that Honda uses those small little clips becuase they know that half the time people lose them when they pull them out. I lost one and since then i take it out and grab a piece of duct tape and tape it to the winshield.

Hahahaha.......I went to get one at the honda dealer a while back and that is exactly what the tech called it when I asked for one.:)

anyone know about the fuel line ?

I do not know about the fuel line but if you are using the 90-93 Teg LS motor (B18A) Sport Compact Car magazine just did that swap with a step by step, in their current issue. I will check and see what they said.

U can use ur stock fuel line but i'd suggest getting one for b-series. I've been told that using d-series fuel line wouldn't flow rite.


Oh about the clip ...i'm not using one and its still fine:)

yes i finanlly got my stock motor out, only took me 2 days. but yeah

The swap SCC did used the fuel system as much as possible from the LS engine.

was it me or is the rear mount really hard to take off. i mean i got the front 2 bolts off easy, but that back bolt is gonna be a bitch to get off. i dont know how i am gonna do it. hows did u guys do it ?

Use the extension. Its gonna move lil by lil since theres hardly any room to move ur hands around.

use the ls fuel line and filter but you will have to bend the end of the fuel line so dont kink it. yea the rear mount is a mother ****** what i did was get it loose and then put my finger on the bolt then shake the mount bach and forth it took me like half an hour. putting the motor in with the tranny mount is just as fun

yeah i got the rear mount off, didnt take me that long. so now i am modifying my dx harness dpfi for mpfi. which isnt as easy as the instructions say. but i am almost done modifying it, i just hope it starts up after. so i should either finish it tonight or tomorrow, then i gotta change my cv boots, a couple of hoses, and bam its ready to drop in. another cool thing, the guy that sold me the motor just gave me an msd. so i am happy.
