Civic EG

am looking to go for a LS swap what year should i go for and what else would i need

If you go with a 92-95 you will be able to get away with no wiring issues. if you go after 95 you will get the cooler valve cover, however you will have to convert from OBD2 to OBD1.

If you go with a 90-91 you will be OBD0, You will again need to rewire/get conversion harnesses. You can take the OBD1 Distributor on your D Series and your OBD1 Injectors and replace the OBD2 Distributor and Injectors.

94-01 LS Transmissions will bolt in just fine. the 90-93 uses cable transmissions

Your shopping list:
92-95 B18A/B LS Engine
92-95 B18 ECU/Chipped OBD1 Ecu/ Conversion harness to go OBD0/2
94-01 B-Series Transmission
94-01 Integra Shift linkage
94-01 Integra Axles
94-01 Integra Engine Mounts
B Series Exhaust header, Your D Series Exhaust header wont work.

You should replace your timing belt, Sparkplugs, Water pump and do a full tune-up on your new engine before you swap it in. You dont want to swap in your new engine then have the timing belt snap a week later.

I belive i covered everything, If anyone has anything to add fell free to.

In other words, get a 94-95. The B18B is slightly updated from the B18A, and it comes with a hydraulic trans.

Excellent post chrono404!

I did the ls swap it was pretty straight forward and youll also want to get a lower radiator hose from a 94vtec delsol and upper hose from a 94 integra, and the throttle cable from the integra and if your keepin ac youll need the ac bracket off the 94 del sol. Good luck! great motor!

got a ls swap with a b16 tranny i/h/ex/flywheel. gotta have that flywheel in there. felt it made a huge difference

I love your name. You juicing your ls? Juiced LS's rape.

Lightened flywheels/pulleys are a good idea if you are going n/a or Juice. If you are going to boost you want the extra mass in the engine so you wouldn't want the lightened flywheel or pulleys when boosting. If you do get them it will make your spool time so much longer.

Good additions!

that would be sweet... its my name from PSN (playstation network). the flywheel makes it awfully "peppy" though
