So iv been looking for a step by step video on youtube for weeks and finally found this, thank you so much iv learned alot of stuff that i would have never thought about and im about to swap on my prelude, thanks!
Fuck me mate. I'm probably going to do my second swap based again of this video with now over 2 years in between. This step by step tutorial is just the best!! ❤🔥
Call me late to the party I had no idea about the hoist back to lift the car instead of trying to tilt and get it out from the top I am just flabbergasted by that I only assumed you needed a car lift like in shops to do that. Holy crap🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️gonna make swaps so much easier now thank you
I find it easier to do leave the grounds attached to the engine, just disconnect the one end from the chassis. And to drain all fluids after the shift linkage, and everything is disconnected besides pulling the axles (since you’d leak trans fluid) heater core hoses will always piss on the ground. I hate working with a wet floor haha
If it's a video where you're learning something that you're actually interested in, there will be some weird unknown techno music playing in the background. It's a requirement at this point...
looking for a Eg hatchback shell for my B18c1 turbo that's in an ek as we speak :) Gonna take the weekend and swap both engines around. This should help a ton!
You know you real do a great job describing how to do it all. Every step. I kind of have the feeling you might be the best on You Tube when it come to swap tutorials. Is there a chance you have done anything with an F22A1 Honda motor? Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
Awesome videos guys safety is what I recommend and step by step enjoyed the video and also man never seen anyone or thought of using a hoist to lift the car up that's safe and clever.
I think you support it with a jack until you loosen the lower mounts and get the chains on, then the jack comes out dolly goes in, loosen the upper mounts and land the motor onto it. Raise the Shell using tow hooks and Move it out of the way (since wheels are still in place). Then Bring the new Rolling shell and land it over the Motor using the engine crane, and follow the exact process in reverse order to swap. It is always good to sort the Interior looms and ECU wiring before mounting back the Motor (mainly for convenience, space wise). Correct me if I was wrong !
2000 Civic Si, 1.6L. B16A2 VTEC, my customer wants me to install a B18C2. Do I need different mounts, harnesses and ECU? Thanks in advance and great video.
Only thing different will be the ecu the harness will differ a bit since the gsr has the iab system & b16 does not but besides those things everything is the same
What's the most cost effective way to increase the performance of a b16a2 but keeping it NA? If I was to swap the block for a gsr one with type r pistons and cams, would that be what they call a poor man's type r? And would my tranny work?
I have a da9 integra and I want to swap my b20b in it what will be needed to do this swap please let me know because I would like to do it right and you guys look like your the best ones to ask please pass on this info to me thanks
Question important for me 1st time I got a 96 Acura automatic and I wanna replace the motor my question is do I have to remove the transmission too PLEASE HELP SOMEBORY I am not mechanic but I know One thing or 2I am not a bad SO PLEASE
this is the video im using to pull my engine to rebuild it so thanks for the vid. also, why in gods name is everyone putting the b18c in a civic instead of just buying an integra? i know im biased because the 5 cars ive owned have been integras but still LOL
I know it's three years later but I will respond in case someone else needs it: You put a tiny flathead and lift up lightly and then shake it back and forth, ease it out. They are very hard, you have to wiggle it side to side with a lot of force. Make sure you have a firm grip on the connector so you don't pull the wires out. It was a major pain to figure that out, and they take the connectors off of the brackets because you will never get them off otherwise from what I can tell.
Most stupid way to take an engine out, the legs of the crane get in the way so you can't wheel it out. I needed to take off the intake manifold and distributor with the car in the air to get it out. Notice how they didn't show them getting it out from under the car?
tough customer video channel installing it is actually easier cuz u know where everything is u took off pulling it out just remember the last step pulling it Is the 1st step installing it
Love these swaps! We're working on swapping an H22 into my EK. If you're interested I have a playlist of the progress so far. ru-vid.com/group/PL1bewzles2ChESnrCzqNudF3I1bI-Z2Kg
