I just wanted to ask how many people have this swap and are they liking it so far. Also on I saw on oldschoolswap that he did't have the power steering hooked up any more or do you? One more thing, what computer electronics do i have to get for the b16a to make it run right. But other then that my motor will be here in 3 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

A friend of mine said he is willing to do an LS/Vtec swap in my Accord. I'll let you guys know how it works out later this summer. He said I should swap in the b16 and then do the conversion.

You are correct! I do not have power steering, don't like it, don't need it, and it gives a bit of power anyways ;)

You will need the PR3 or PW0 ECU (computer) if you will be running a 1st gen B16 motor.

I got the motor local but the shop moved about 2 years ago. I have no clue where.

Yes i had a million issues but it was all wiring connections that had to be moved around, no big deal. Just time consuming and a very good learning experience.

You or your shop WILL get stuck, this is why i'm offering help through here once you start the project.

Before you buy the motor, contact me.
