B series swap into 97 ek

[artymillz]

ok so im grabbing up a 97 civic lx and i want to swap a B series into it....i know the basics seeing that this isnt my first swap but i just want to get a few things clear that im a little shady about what im going to need exactly....motor..mounts..si wiring harness?...wich ecu is best...99 si shift linkage?...best axles?...i just want it clean and done right and for some reason i cant find a good step by step for a b series into an ek even though its so common

U dont need an si harness use the 1 that comes with the car

is you swap a LS GSR B16 you need mounts, si linkage...you can use a integra one but the integra one gets in the way of the secondary o2 sensor, b series axle, depending on the swap u can chose the ecu...for the harness you can use the 96-98 civic ex harness you don't have to rewire much for it... gl

U can use the stock mounts an brackets

[artymillz]

The cars a lx I'm going to go either b16 or gsr....do I just add a wire for vtec on the stock harness

[artymillz]

The stock D mounts?

[P-CRIDER]

the stock d mounts?

yes the stock mounts u will need a obd2a harness ex

[BuiltNotBought22]

use your stock d mounts, tranny mount and rear mount, all you need is the rear T bracket, that needs to be 99-00si, any b series shift linkage and axels, then u need the timing built post side mount, 3 bolts that connect to the block and then there are two studs on top, and you use that stock mount as well. if u have a vtec harness already, it is perfectly fine, run a p72 ecu or p28 with a jumper harness to run obd1 and tune it.

[96ekdx]

u can't use the stock D series T bracket on the back and also you need the 99-00 SI post mount too...you can use the stock tranny mount and bracket and the rear mount...

I am pretty sure I said that in my post. Read it fully.

I have a b series in my ek I know what I am talkin bout

No you can get the stock harness wire for vtec , bcus finding a obd2a ex harness is impossible. .
