Would it be worthwhile to go from auto to manual if i wanted to make a 2000 civic ex turbo d16y8? How well would an automatic hold up on 8 psi?

 

if its a 2000 civc ex you can usually sell it for a nice lump of cash to find another one thats already manual for cheaper cant you?

 

yes but it is my friends car and im trying to help him and he wants to keep his car he likes it alot i would say that same as u but its not my choice so i wanna know how hard it would be to go manual or if the auto would handle the setup.

 

5spd swap is 100% worth it, i just did it on my 94

auto wouldnt be as fun! haha

as for the other question i dont know how it would hold up nig

 

how hard of a project was it for the 5 spd swap?

 

That is one of the worst questions that everyone asks.

How hard is it to paint the Mona Lisa? Pretty fuckn' hard to do right if you arn't a painter.

If you are mechanically inclined IMO, it is pretty easy.

Go read the 12 write-ups about it and judge for yourself how hard it is. Noone can tell you.

 

well if youve swapped a tranny before its cake... except for the upper tranny mount, not sure how it is on eks but on egs you have to either buy the hasport auto to 5spd mount or customize your own. below is a pic of how i did mine.

you also gotta knock two holes for the shift linkage which isnt a problem, the pedals aren that big of a deal but its kinda hard to work in there when you leave the steering column in. the clutch MC and clutch pedal just bolt in no prob there. i use brake line for the clutch line, cheap and does the job.

lemme know how it goes.







GHETTO!

 

It's easy. 90% bolt in. The other 10% is drilling two holes and cutting out the automatic shifter sheet metal to make way for the manual shift linkage.


Like Cray said, go search for write-ups.




Also, you only need all oem mounts. You don't have to get the special one from Hasport like in the EG's and DC's.

 

i have never dont it, but i have looked into it. it looks easy. but im sure an auto tranny could hold up to 8psi on a d series. also, something i have never done though

 

awesome thanx alot guys sounds alot easier then i thought.
