B18a (lsvtec) in my 5th gen

[moleodonuts]

Hey, I just got myself an lsvtec ( b18a bottom end w/ a GSR head ) and wanna put it in my 92 Civic Dx. Yea yea, I know its going to be a bitch b.c I have to rewire a bunch of crap and convert crap over and its illegal and all, but I'm willing to do/ accept all that.

My problem is, I can't find anybody that has info on what exactly I need to do this swap. I feel like I can't get a strait answer. So, does anybody have any links or info they wouldn't mind forking over as to what I need to do for the hydraulic-cable conversion with the tranny (its a b18a tranny), what needs to be done with the wiring (wiring diagrams will work, but I assume a guide would save me trouble), what I need as far as engine mounts and brackets, etc.

All in all I wanna get this thing done during my spring break and still be able to drive it a bit.

Thanks

I think hasport makes a hydro to cable conversion kit

Dude that signature that says ur IP is sick...howd u do that?

[moleodonuts]

haha, I always get that response when I post / start a thread , its just something I found on a forum and copied the image reference into my profile...

As for the hasprot conversion, I'm getting a hasprot shift linkage for it, is that all I need? I'm not exactly clear as to how the interface with a cable tranny differs from that of a hydraulic, so I don't know what all needs to be altered.

Also, still looking for info on what I need to do with wiring/ how to mount this thing (what engine mounts can I use? any of the stock d-series ones work at all? I was thinking that just the rear B-series mount needed to be used, and if so does a specific year of mount need to be used given I drive a 5th gen hatch vs. some other model?)

No, there is an actual conversion kit with a new mount and adapter for the clutch cable and everything. I'm pretty sure it is Hasport, if not it's one of the other major motor mount manufacturers.

I see, so can I mount this thing with that conversion kit and a b-series rear engine mount?

[GScivic7]

yup, i'll see if I can find the link for you

Yea, Hasport makes an Actual cable-hydro conversion kit...I have the part # at home somewhere, if I can find it I will post it.

Aight, so anybody got info on wiring? Also, is there any way that I can use my stocky AC pump? Didn't get one with the swap, so I was kinda worried about that ( I feel it necessary to keep my car at approximately 55 deg F at all times incase I find any penguins on the side of the road).
