- Tue Oct 02, 2012 3:51 am #316975 This guy wrecked his B18B integra and put alot of his integra engine parts into his Civic dx hatch. The civic has the A/C , P/S, rack and pinion, engine and transmission from his integra. I didnt ask him what else was from his integra, but im assuming also a integra suspension. I drove it and it drives good, but the a/c compressor is going out.

When I have the type R installed, A/C and P/S is MANDATORY.
I think it would be easier to install in this car than a civic SI since it has many parts from a integra. Or would it be basically the same?

I have my eye on that car, but there is 2 civic SI's out there, one is my fav color, and the other one has a TON OF new parts in it for cheap

I was reading a post from a ASE mechanic, he said that if you have a kenji p28 chiped ECU, then the TYPER engine in hatch would be PLUG AND PLAY. Hes said the OBD2 to OBD1 was complete B/S and all you needed was the Kenji P28 ECU with the harness. (i forgot if the harness was from the type r or the civic)

Replacing the A/C compressor will be easy, If its an integra pump, which since its on a B Series it will be(unless hes using Honda CR-V Mounts and a D Series A/C Compressor) get a 94-95 Integra A/C Compressor then have the system charged.

The Integra and Civic are very close cars and lots of parts can be swapped. One thing that will be a downside is if you have to replace something you wont know if its an Integra part of a Civic Part if you didn't do the work yourself.

However since the Civic already has a B Series Swap, Putting in a Civic Type-R(B16B) or Integra Type-R(b18c5, also refered to as B18CR) Motor will be super easy to do. Literally take the B18b out, bolt the B18c5 or B16B into its place with its transmission, put the wiring harness on it. and then get a P28 ECU or P72 Ecu, have it tuned, or a base map loaded onto it and your good to go.

A thing to remember is while the engines out, swap the Water pump and timing belt as its so easy to do while its out, and the parts are so cheap it only makes since to do before you put the engine in. I would also put in a new clutch as Since your getting a Type-R motor it most likely has seen a lively past before you got it.

Good Luck.

So would it only be easier for the civic that had everything swapped from the integra?

Or would the installation be the same if I got a 92 civic SI that had a B16A JDM motor installed?

- Tue Oct 02, 2012 6:30 pm #317033 First off It's really easy to retain the all the stock AC components in your 92-95 Civic HB with a any swaped B-series motor.

If you have all your stock AC equipment then all you need is a AC bracket from a Del Sol Vtec or a CRV and a AC belt from a 93 GSR. The brackets you can buy at a dealership, they cost around $140 if I remeber correctly. When you get the AC bracket don't forget the belt tensioner with the bolt. Mine didn't come with it when I ordered mine from Ebay. I believe they don't come with the bracket but you can ask whoever your buying it from.

Here are the Part Numbers:
38930-P7J-000 CRV Bracket
38930-P54-000 Del Sol Bracket

1. First off all the stock AC components need to be in your car. You don't need an integra compressor, Integra lines, or Condensor to make this work, but it's possible with integra parts but requires custom work.

2.With the B-series motor in the car install the AC bracket of your choice onto the motor. Your going to need the bolts off of your stock motor that holds the bracket and the compressor onto the bracket. All the bolts should line up.

3.Install the compressor onto the bracket. All four holes should line up. If the bolts are dirty I suggest you clean them and the holes they are going in.

4. Install the High and Low side pressure lines onto the compressor. Don't forget to use new O-rings and apply oil to them before you put on the lines. If you didn't take off the compressor and your system ain't open, then you don't need to install the lines since its already installed.

5.Now test fit the AC belt from a 93 GSR. If its too long you can always go back a to the place like Autozone, Pepboys, or Advance Auto Parts and ask for a shorter one. I suggest just bringing your car with the mounted compressor so you won't waste gas and test fit there.

6. Now charge your system if your system was open. If you have any questions on charging it you can post here and I'll answer your questions.

When I got my car the AC system was JACKED :eek: So I pretty much installed a whole AC system from a donor vehicle.

Here is a vid of my AC working: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LF9yWzJ3lko

This was at Idle (1000rpm), fan setting at 2, ambient air temp at 85F, and with 50% humidity
