- Fri Mar 18, 2011 11:48 am #244646 D15B7 is not a bad engine but I wanted a engine that has a bit more power/potential, so I found this B16A from Japan through japan auto wreckers queensland for $3000. Only 86,000kms on engine with power steering and air con FTW!! :D

Before I signed up to civic-eg, I had no mechanical knowledge on how to do an engine swap, but thanks to you guys I done it in under 3 weeks which I think is not a bad effort

Too much work,.. so tired :(

Temporary transport while my car is off the road :D

- Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:40 pm #244656 Bought an XForce twin loop muffler, not sure if it's a known brand in the states but it's an Australian brand FTW! High quality welds, I highly recommend it! :thumb:

2.25" from the cat back

Also installed Beaks tie rod bar, I noticed a slight increase in stiffness in the rear. Looks kind of poser without the sway bar, need to get one soon.

Haha you're right, the lip makes it look like it nearly covers the whole bar, I like the mugen lip but this one is a bad replica, only lasted 4 weeks :(

Thanks mate, because my engine came from an EK civic SiR OBD2A, I had to modify/change plugs on the loom like

- alternator
- injectors or use OBD1 injectors
- extend/change IAT sensor (depends if you want it on intake manifold or intake piping)
- modify distributor or buy adapter
- add vtec
- add knock sensor
- add 4 wire o2 sensor
- buy ecu adapter or buy OBD1 ecu

Most of it was a bit of a headache, but well worth it in the end. If you want a straight drop in with minimal to no mods, I suggest you get a B16 from an EG SiR or any B series engine from any DC Integra, less dramas that way.

Plumbing? I noticed the radiator hoses on B16 are 2mm bigger then D15B7 hoses which feels a bit lose, but if you make sure your hose clamps are tight enough it should be okay to use your stock radiator.
