Does anyone know if I can swap a motor from an Integra GS-R (B18C) into my CL? I have a 97 2.2L 5-spd. I don't think there would be a problem (don't people swap B18Cs into accords?)

With the motor I'd get axles, tranny(all components), and ECU....anything else I'd need? I'm assuming it would fit in the engine bay....my question I guess is more concerning the motor mounts

Please help...Thanks!

 

i think you would need to get a custom motor mounts because it won't just fit in . . .
why not get an H22? it fits in our cars perfectly and saves you more money. . i'm guessin and has more power!
and a GSR engine in our car doesn't seem like it'll pull -_-''

 

^ it wont.. definitely get an h22a w/ manual LSD tranny for ur car, it will be great!

then turbo that sucka

 

What about a 3.2 from a 2003 type-s and its 6-speed tranny? I have pretty easy access to both those engines (the 3.2 and the b18c) with all equipment...

 

^ CL-S will be "worth it" if you have easy access... but IMO its wayy too much of a pain. its like trying to fit a BIG square in hole when theres already a perfect circle there. you get more, but not worth the modification

 

the frame side of the mounts are in a different position on a 2.2 vs the 3.0 where the j32 (type s motor) would fit. and the interior of the engine bay is larger than the 2.2 because the front x member is more forward by about 2 1/2 inches

 

If you have the time , patience,and money to do the CL-S 6spd swap do that. The B18 will not move a CL our cars are too heavy for that engine. It's like putting a fat chick on a tricycle

 

Ur car wont move haha get the h22

 

These people need to learn how to check their threads.

 

H22 Nukkah!!!

 

what rock did you just climb from up under?

 

Do tell about the 3.2 with 6 speed tranny?

Miles? Where you at?

 

Thanks for the help guys. I did a little more checking a decided it was pointless to try to cram a 3.2 into a 1st gen 2.2CL

I guess 500lbs difference between an integra and a CL is alot? I dunno, I think the B18C1 would be alright still if I turbo it like I plan to...

LEON hows your car on power?

 

^^^^werd. thats exactley why ppl dont swap any kind of b-series into accords. unless its pre 90 which is the flip up headlight 3rd generation accords.

 

if you got the money & time do the CL-S 6-speed swap, it would be amazing...

i wanna do that but my funds are not that big

 

is that your CL Leon? Looks fucking sweet

 

miles on it are like 75k, I'm in Indiana.

I work for a car dealership and we own a garage so I have pretty easy access to just about anything...if the funds are available

 

okay so def do not waste time with the b18, its kinda dumb to go smaller from the f22, go with the h22 or j32, j32'd be sweet as fuck

 

yes it is my car...power is sweet! with the swap also did a phantom grip LSD which help alot, especially in the rain...ported head, springs and retainers, str8 pipe (no cat), chipped P28, butterflies removed, 8lb flywheel, no power steering. I'm very pleased with its power...alot of people get shocked when I pull on them.

 

me too.. alot of people just think i got a fancy accord sittin on 18's. then bye bye biches. especially the old school mustang 5.0's (79-93) i hang with them from a dig and they all have given me the thumbs up.

 

Two words... more pics. Oh and nice whip.

 

Yea my swap has ran me $13,000 already and it's been pretty fucking insane with the anount of time my car has been down. Not to mention Aidan has been the only one to pull off the 6 speed swaps. Which means you'd have to go to SoCal to rely on someone who can do the swap with all the bugs worked out. Unless you want to go otherwise...

 

I thought the LSD tranny didnt fit in our cars??

 

the LSD tranny in my car is the tranny that came with the car...just put in the LSD while the engine/tranny was apart! what LSD tranny are you talking about? the accord, prelude, and CL trannys are all the same bolt up, just put in an LSD...

 

wuts up with the crashed teg in ur avatar?

 

i think he's talkin bout the sh prelude tranny, someone on this board tried to put one in and it bolted up but something was in the way of the oil filter so he couldnt use it.

 

the more and more i hear about the h22 the more and more i want to enduldge myself with such sweet bliss.

 

thats my old car... flipped thrice

 

I had swapped a gsr motor into it (that's why I started the thread to see if it'd work in my CL)

 

Sell the motor and put an H22 in the CL..mad people will buy a GSR motor in a second

 

Lets start the roll over club!

Rolled three times!

 

Exactly what I'm talking about..
