- Thu Jul 30, 2009 11:23 pm #134406 im pretty sure u pull the engine n trans out the teg and insert into the civic along with axles and i think u might need to use the t mount from the teg and the other engine mounts and it should be a pretty stright forward swap

i helped my friend put a gsr in his hatch and thats all we did n it went right in

hope this helps some

- Fri Jul 31, 2009 12:27 am #134422 ya i will later... i just want to get it in for now so i can get it barred... i have a built ls that i will put in later. its all built right now but i want to get the remaining parts for it. i will putt a gsr or b16 trans on that... right now i just need a fresh motor... the ls only has like 120xxx and runs really nice... plus i do alot of freeway driving so top speed will be nice... but for now it will work till i get my other motor finished... only need the trans, clutch and fly and like a timing belt and a timing belt tensinor.. hehe.. :thumb:

- Fri Jul 31, 2009 3:06 am #134462 you can use the mounts from the teg. ( dont rember which ones you can leave some of the stock mounts from the civic on) swap the ecu out. then it should all be all good. not shure about harnesses though. I always thouhgt you could keep the stock harness.

oh yeah make shure the b18 is OBD-I

You will need the T mount, stock wiring from the eg will work, all you need is the ecu, motor, trans, axles, and t mount . and its all plug and play.. gl man, and have fun :lol: :thumb: :thumb:
