B17 swap on an EF
 

Is a f**kin' nightmare! OBDo conversion + B17 suks so bad that we ended up swapping out wire harnesses from another EF... the whole harness to include ECU to engine bay to even lighting. We are almost done tho. The OBD2 B18C5 swap into an OBD1 delsol was way easier. Anyway, just a heads up to everyone

ill keep it in mind...im trying to think what the b17 came in...96-00 civic? cant remember, its one of those obscure swaps...

is this ANOTHER project car, or are you just lending a hand?

ah yes...swappin fun

the b17 came in the da9(90-93 integra) GSR

b17a1 is gsr and b17b is ls/gs/rs. right?

i was going to do a B17a1 and i realized the difficultys and decided not to. plus finding parts for a B17a1 is hell. no one makes anything for it really. unless you do overnight shipping from japan. which cost a shit load for just a part. not worth the swap in my opinion.

but good luck and have fun. let me know how it goes.

no the ls/gs/rs have the b18a1.

I was jst helping out somebody on the swap. The problem was, they really never done it before. So for the most part, we were all putting out heads together and just apply what makes sense.

hmmm, no how to on the swap anywhere?
then agian its not that popular.

thanks hondaman for the correct engine codes.

Oh yea, Gotta love the 1.7 170hp B16 knockoff. Wierd motor really - quite uncommon but a great find none the less. Cable tranny as well am i right?

yes, cable tranny.

its a 1.7 160HP 117TQ and dohc. very nice motor and a rare find indeed.

I paid for his dyno the same day I dynoed mine. Completely stock B17, he pulled off 140whp and 100ft/lbs torque on a light a$$ car. We have plans to turbo that low compression engine...

hey good numbers :yes:
I thought the b17 was 10:1 compression though....

The owner told me that it's on the 9's..... I'm gonna kick his a$$. We do plan to turbo that sh!t. :yes:

I found this:

10.0:1 You da man Pdigg

see all that useless honda knowledge takes up too much room!
No room for turbo info and knowledge for things I should know....


eh just throw a cometic thick headgasket on there

Good find. I'm looking do drop the compression on mind a little. I'm looking into products by in-line pro or GReddy.....

i hear people that really like the cometic gaskets
Im not too sure what their prices are though...
