bseries question

[1.6luv]

hi guys im a bit new here .. i have jus picked my self up an acura el and i was jus wondering if a b series engine is compatible with a d series tranny

 

[Spizike]

Exactly what acura do you have ?
And from what i know i think it's not the same .

 

[ej_EXtasy]

It isn't. B with B, D with D.

 

[PhntmSk8r]

H with H, J with J, K with K, R with R, A with A, C with C


the list goes ONNNN and ONNNN for honda codes.

can you ever throw a b series in this kind of cars?

 

[1.6luv]

well its an acura 1.6 el ..from wat i understand at my shop and numerous message boards, the civic ex model comes with the d16y engine...i could be wrong ..and numerous swaps have resulted. but i was jus wondering if it a b engine to d series was compatible because im picking up a b18 for 300.00 and i wanna know if i can just keep the tranny i have.

no you need a b series transmission with your b series motor. your question was already answered

And theres a whole more to it than just switching engine and trans. I think you should stick with what you have and research ALOT more till u fully understand whats what. Then save ur $$ cause anytime you do a swap or turbo, add in 25% more than what u saved for mishaps, forgotten parts, and anything else that can halt forward progress of the build.
