please help.. LX a/t tooo EX m/t
ok.. i have a 2001 civic sedan automatic LX
my friend has a 2002 civic coupe manual EX
his engine is turbo'd and upgraded to the MAXXX
i want to swap engines with him.. and tranny and everything ECU etc..
what all would need to be swapped??
i know:
engine
tranny
radiator(cause a/t needs oil lines?)
ecu
will immobilizer work w/ a swapped ecu?
i just wanna keep all his settings and etc the same... so i figured a full swap would be easiest to do.
please help me i have the CASH for the swap and im ready to roll i just need to know what would be needed... i know a shop.. but their not 110% on what to do.. im guessing i could just take his clutch pedal... and all the workings of it. and the stick and endlinks... would i need to cut the firewall or r they basically same.. frame wise.
thank you..

LMAO WTF?
these are the parts
1.)everything listed above -ECU (PM me to find out how to make your ECU work)
2.)master/slave cyl.
3.)clutch/ flywheel
4.)shifer cables (buy new)
5.)axles(yep they are different)
6.)tranny side mount, and front engine mount
7.)new subframe, our have someone move the front mount bracket 1 1/8 inch to the right if you are facing the car
8.) manual tranny starter
9.) misc. nuts and bolts
10.) new guage cluster or paint old one
11.) A LOT OF BEER
*** I would also recomend a helms manual (not just recomend it is the most important thing you could buy) and alot of borrowed tools from autozone
If you have any questions PM me. Also you do not need a new radiator you can either leave the at cooler inlet and outlet empty OR I am not 100% sure that it will work, but I am thinking you could turn it from a tranny fluid cooler to a oil cooler. It would be cool and I think fairly easy
