there are no kits on the market. its not an emissions legal swap so there will never be a kit for the swap. the only mounts available for swaps in the 7thgen are k-series. either get creative and start fabricating or get lost and do some reading. this info is all over this forum

A B-series swap has been done into a 7thgen but it was a salt flats racer. The swap is not legal. The only way it would be is if you had an 01 Civic because they still made the B-series in 2001.

It would be a tight fit but it would go in there, but alot of custom modifications and brackets.

a few other people have installed a b series in there car but like somone said before it is illegal and would take too much custom fabrication. you will end up spending more than a k series swap.

search next time this has been covered many times. k>b any day, out with old, in with the new

I say do it, man. Everyone goes on and on about the "legality" of the swap, but the truth is, who is going to run the vin on the motor to tell what it came out of? Unless maybe you're in california, you'll never have that issue.

So go for it and custom fab/piece together your own setup. There are so many options available, I'd look at peakboost, lovefab, or full race for the manifold, select a big *** turbo and go from there. You will have to fab up your own mounts, though, but that's too easy.

He's 18 let him start small, get boosted. Then When it gets boring think of a swap. I'm 21 have 2 jobs and go to school and this swap is taking me so long. Well then again I would have been done but I got greedy and started to build the head along with the block O_o!

well im talking to the kid and hes got a gsr and an lsvtec motor.. so im not too sure.. i just emailed him back cuz i read the posting at work and when i was talking to him he mentioned something about having two engines.. the gsr and the lsvtec.. but im gonna guess that theyre both hard to swap

theyre almost the same engine. 1 is a b17 and 1 is a ls b18 with a b series vtec head. they will swap the same but not all parts are interchangable. if youre good with fabrication and wiring, you can go for it. plan on your car being down a while tho. i had a junked 7thgen i built h22 swap mounts for so a b18 will fit with room to spare. if it was me, i wouldnt do it. you can kswap for about the same money and less headache and have more power. yeah yeah k swap. everyone has one, but theres a reason for that. they work and work well. sometimes being creative and different isnt worth it.

Wrong. b17a1 was the only b series 1.7 and was only available in the 92-93 gsr. From 94-01, the gsrs used b18c1's. The ls block is going to be either a b18a1 or b18b1, depending on the year integra it came out of. What parts aren't interchangeable exactly? The bore and strokes are the same between the two, the crank journal sizes are the same, the only differences are in the heads and the compression ratios, along with the oil galleys.

To the OP, if you can't fabricate a motor mount, forget it.
