B18a Swap
Just picked up a mint complete b18a for $300!!!
Anyways, got a few questions....Btw it's going in my 1990 Civic Si.
Other than legnthening wires for sensors(if i even have to) is the wiring identical, particularly ecu pinouts?
The reason i ask is because i want to run it off of ghettodyne so i can tune it and use my stock ECU..(will use teg ecu till it's boosted)
We did a b16 in my friends crx and there was just a knock sensor, second o2, vtec solendoid and pressure switch..This motor has none of the above, so everything should plug right in, in theory anyways, then i can run ghettodyne(on my pm6?
Also, does the framerail have to be beat in for the alternator pulley like on the b16?
Anything else i should know, or a link to instructions, i can find b16a, and gsr instructions everywhere, but no pre-obd b18a!!!!
