You need an OBD II distributor

Any 94+ Integra linkage/99-00 Si

99-00 rear Si bracket. Doesn't the 97 Civic have that retard sideways mount on the driversdie?

[crabby760]

yes it has that retard mount ..... but my friend used that mount on his dx hatch for his ls swap.... so it'll work

[jcrx]

Ok, good then.

I hate that mount.

Just a question, did you read the thread? Did you see that he has a GSR transmission? And that the other issues he has have been addressed?

And may I ask, when you blurt out that he needs the wiring harness, exactly which wiring harness? You do realize his car has a one piece harness, and the Integra motors have a two piece? You do realize that he is swapping an OBD I motor in an OBD II Civic? Which ECU were you suggesting he use? Being nice, so I'll stop here.

we custom fabricated the driver side mount to work.... and i used the 99-00 si rear bracket and my stock passenger mount worked fine

used stock wiring harness just cut and re wired and soldered a bunch of clips.... but was all done clean

also needed different radiator hoses my stock ones were too short....

and i have the obd2 to obd1 ecu harness so that worked fiine


motor started up 1st fire like a champ....

now we just need to connect the shift linkage and figure out how we are gonna make the header bolt to the cat.... the flanges are totally different

[crabby760]

k well drove the car... pulls fucking hard... so hard the driver side donut mount fucking exploded the rubber fucking blew out hardcore... it couldn't handle the torque or power i guess....

i'm lost on wat to do to make this shit work.... can't use that mount
