SiR swap help
 

I'm going to be doing an SiR swap into my 88 dx hb as soon as I can, and I figured I'd just start up a help thread now.

first thing I need help with:

Abaz tells me that the SiR mounts won't fit into my car, so I'll get some from AZ race and machine. But will the shift linkage work? without any modification at all?

Re:SiR swap help
 

no u need to modify the shift linkage or buy the conversion.

thanks shrotyz, I won't hate on canadians anymore.


now my next question:

I was reading some crap on hasport and I'm not quite sure about the axle business. if I get a y1 tranny with intermediate shaft I'll have to do the frankenstein axle and if I get a j1 or s1 transmission I'll just need 90-93 teg axles, correct?

Re:SiR swap help
 

It sounds like u said you have the JDM SiR Shift linkage, is that true??? if so, it might work. Do a test fit before you go and modify it.

Re:SiR swap help
 

sorry for making you think that, I don't have it. the reason I asked like that is because I'm looking at the swap on hmotorsonline.com and it is sir and comes with mounts and shift linkage.

anybody know about those axels?

Re:SiR swap help
 

Save your self some money and hack your shiftlinkage yourself and weld it back together so it fits that's all HaSport does.(Measure twice cut once) or something like that. :P Of course they do a great job and take a slightly larger piece of steel tube to put over the two ends that were cut for a stonger connection. As for axels Leed and I got ours through Raxles. I know they are a little spendy but you can call them up and tell them what you have and they always have some in stock that will handle some great horsepower. Talk to Martty the owner of Raxles great guy and awesome customer service (I guesss they should be for how much they charge for the damn things) But they are great. :D

Re:SiR swap help
 

I've been reading about raxles. Looks like a great idea for a swap. you dont have to leave a little dust boot off like u would with teg axles and a certain tranny. you dont have to make hybrid axles. just direct fit axles. like a motor mount kit, but axles.... great idea, about time some1 started doing that.

Re:SiR swap help
 

I checked out their site and couldn't find anything about those hybrid axles for my swap, do you have the exact url for those axles? or do I have to call for them?

I would just redo my shift linkage but I don't have a welder or know how to weld.

I got my b16a for my 91 dx hatch from hmotors online

if you get the complete swap it should come with axles..

you can also get a damn good discount on the hasport mounts and shift linkages through them (when you order the motor)

I highly reccomend hmotorsonline.com they have the cleanest motors that i have seen and they garantee all sensors to be in working order


YOU will also need to get the Hasport dx to sir wiring harness it saves a lot of wiring and also looks a lot cleaner

Re:SiR swap help
 

www.hmotorsonline.com is out of stock on B16As so I either have to wait or go somewhere else. The only offer the Si to SiR wiring harness cheap, the dx to SiR one is pretty expensive and I have to get it from Hasport directly. My older brother is about to buy a B16 powered 91 hatch dx so I'll just check out the wiring on that or come crying over here if I need any help.
