B series swap into Del Sol

Alright guys i have done a couple of swaps but none into a del sol and i am wondering what i would need to have her in and running?

hey jay, i dont know if this is much help, but when i had my del sol i pulled it straight out and it dropped straight back into my EG, so from my experience, its pretty straight foward..

we did my buddy's del sol, it was very straight forward, but on the other hand it was a DOHC VTEC model to begin with. we replaced it with an OBD2 B20, and put the original B16A3 into my buddy's 93 Civic. So yeah, it all swapped back and forth pretty easy.

yes like the person above said, it should be a fairly similar motor swap in an eg...since it's obd2, you need the conversion harness or chip the stock ecu...b-series driveshafts.....use the del sol SI (with the b16a3 motor) rear mount bracket...dont use the SiR one because SiR rear mount bracket wil be around half inch shorter than the integra/del sol one...(someone correct me if i'm wrong on that one)...driver side mount is not necessary but not recommended using the stock one...other than those....i think it should be a fairly straight forward swap

obd 2 = abit more work for you

you can get the obd 2 gsr harness that plugs right into the chassis plug

get the obd 1 alty and disty and get the obd 1 ecu use your harness and run wires for the sensors that you dont' have plugs for

well i have the complete obd2 harness uncut so i am just going to drop that in so no need for a conversion harness.

as for the rear t bracket can someone confirm on what peter said about using a delsol or integra one instead of the sir one.

also the driver side mount has to be changed because eg/integra have the side mounted mounts and the ek models have the mounts facing upwards so it needs to be changed.

axels i already have and ready to go.

can anyone tell me what the deal with a/c bracket and a/c compressor is?
can i use the stock ac bracket off the d series on the b motor thats going in? and can i use the stock compressor off the d series on the b series?

i just want to make 100 percent sure cuz i will be doing this swap on saturday and there arent places that i can go to on the weekends in case i need to order parts.
