hi guys i have a 92 civic dx with the stock d series motor in it im thinkin of making the swap to a b18 not sure if its b18a or b but i have found the motor its my friends i just need some help on what all i will need how much it will cost. my d is a automatic and i was gonna buy an automatic tranny to if that can be done to fit the b and i would like to know how i would do that?

to get a low milage LS swap from overseas is gonna be like 1500 or so with a transmission (manual). I wouldnt do the swap if you are going to keep it automatic...i mean you can but it doesnt utilize the motors full potential

true that integraguy04

so would it be cheaper to change it to manual cause i have or will have the motor it just needs a tranny

what im saying is for like 1500, you get the motor and a manual transmission so you u might as well convert the car to manual

converting to manual is no easy task i know from experience it is a pain in the ass i dont know how machanically incline you are but even so if you take your time do your research ask questions i have faith that u can do it and it would be alot cheaper them having somebody doing it for you good luck with the swap

well thanks for the support guys . and the motor already has a manual tranny so if i just swaped to manual what all would i need and about how much would it cost to switch to manual ?

you need the clutch assembly, clutch line, clutch master cylinder..from a junkyard you could prolly do it for like 300

the one good thing is that all the holes are there for you no drilling is required also u will not have back up light unless u wire it in off the selector switch and u will need to get the shift linkage if it dont come with the swap like integraguy said get everything from a junkyard it will save u money and u will learn how to take things apart because it will go on in reverse oh and dont forget the pedal assembly good luck

ok what would be easier rebuilding my d and swaping to manual on it or doin all that with the b? sorry about all the questions and makin this so hard im just trying to decide the route i would rather take .

wait nevermind just realized if i keep the d convert it and rebuild it i would spend a shit load more because i would have to buy a tranny

could i jus pull all that stuff off my buddys car or would it fit his is 98 ex mine is 92 dx?
