j32a2 motor,harness, ecu, 6 speed tranny, lsd, shifter etc.

I would do auto engine with manual trans so it is setup for the j swap ems. There are many threads on this subject already.

for an auto engine and a manual trans swap, you just need to swap the wire harness and all sensors. Also the timing belt cam pulleys.

I mentioned 6 speed because in my eyes otherwise it is not worth it.

Who has the ems working on the manual motor? More info please.

Ah so it hasn't even been revealed yet. I don't like secrets, they are for closet homosexuals.

Is it civicdrivr?

I would love more info on this as well.

To the OP - A B16 is a direct swap.

So with an auto tranny would it even be worth it to do anything in terms of the engine? if so what are some performance swaps i can do to get a little more "umpf" out of the thing?

I was being very sarcastic.

But Street does have a good point, the B series do have more aftermarket support.

Get headers and intake. It doesnt make sense to drop money into a swap on a CL-P - its just not worth it.
