Hey guys,
I have a DD 1995 RS with a b18b1 in in currently that is running totally fine no problems, I also have a 1990 acura integra 4 door with a b18c1 (GS-R motor) in currently that has not run for a few years. I plan on pulling it this year with a few friends and was wondering a few questions that could be answered before doing the swap.
1. What test to do need to perform to make sure the motor is healthy or worth the swap?
2. Should i change the oil and run the motor for 20 minutes to break everything back in from sitting so long?
3. Do I have to use the wiring harness from the 1990 to fit in the 1995?
4. I don't think the 1990 has ABS but if it does, is there a way i can remove the abs unit to fit in the 95 integra? (my 95 integra does not have ABS)
5.If I dropped the GS-R Motor into my 95 integra with the ecu and wiring harness, are there any modifications that have to be done?
6. Any dangers of dropping the motor instead of lifting? (Do not have engine crane ATM)
*******Please ANY advice would be GREATLY appreciated, i need all the info you engine swap guru/experts can advise and member's who have done engine swaps!***********
And if i pulled the motor i probably will be replacing all the gaskets including head gasket and all that to prevent leaks and such.
