puttin a 96 b18c jdm type r motor in my 95 integra with a ls tranny....


got motor and tranny in car bolted up

pass side axel i go to put it in... and in the hole of the tranny where the axel goes into... bout 2 inches in there this fucking metal bar in the way so the axel cannot slide all the way in...???


any idea what that bar is... its like blockin the passage way of the axel completely

i try moving it but it dont move...

[crabby760]

i figured out wat was up with the axels... now i got everything done... suspension put back together.... everything


figuring out that the type r is a 98 obd2... so the wiring is diff...


wat needs to be changed so it will work... so far i fixed distributor i just swapped to my obd1 b16 one.... but anything else that might not be rigth?

[civickiller]

if the motor is obd2 then your obd1 injector wiring wont fit the obd2 injectors. you can just swap your obd1 injectors over and it will be good

[CivicSpoon]

Since you said you swapped over to the obd1 distributor, I'm going to assume you're using the OBD1 engine harness. If that is the case, use your stock injectors and swap voltage regulators in your alternator (because 1 plug is square and the other is round). Wire for the extra o2 sensor (if you haven't already). You'll also need an OBD1 to OBD2b conversion harness to plug in the '98 ITR ECU, if you're using it.

[crabby760]

got it in and running.... but when vtec kicks in... i hear like wierd scratchy metal noises? anyideas?

[civickiller]

pull off valve cover and check rocker arms to make sure nothing is stratching the cam. also hows the oil level?

[crabby760]

going to check all that today....

also im sure the headgasket is no good... smokes crazy white smoke... and if i let it sit and idle it will start to GET HOT


i do not know how to change a headgasket though..... how much do u t hink a shop would charge?

[crabby760]

i cannot get the rear motor mount to line up rite.... any easy way to do this?

[CivicSpoon]

Try putting in the rear mount first, then the passenger side and then the drivers side. This has worked the best when I've helped my friend do swaps. As far as I'm concerned, it's the easiest mount to get in. You just have to take a pry bar, pry it forward and have someone else jack the engine up slowly into place.

[civickiller]

yup rear, passenger, then driver

[crabby760]

thanks guys that worked great... got it in


curious what is code 6 and 7.... my car is throwin those 2 codes?

and if it has them codes what can go wrong? can it damage my motor?

[superbluecivicsi]

check your water temp sensor and your tps.

as far as the head gasket goes, do a compression test (hints:this should be done on all new swaps ).

over heating.....................check your cel 6.

white smoke is common with new swaps. its cause alot of moisture builds up from just sitting there.

a compression and leakdown should confirm other wise.

[crabby760]

how do i check cel 6 and 7?
