Well guys, I started on the swap a few weekends ago and just thought I would post my progress. Yes, it's just another B swap replacing a tired/old A6...but it's my first B swap, so I'll share.







I have no idea...it was like that. Wish I would have noticed it before I bought it. :x What a pain in the ass.Krix said:man how did they break off that much?
Thought you guys would appreciate that. Had to get a couple pics...whether he was bashing my bay in or not. :lol:downest said:Bart was inside the bay of a Y49?!
It'll work for me. Not like I could afford to go K anyway.jfrolang said:We all love K20s, but I still say B-power for-the-less-expensive win!
Heh, my plan is turbo in spring 08. I guess we'll see which boosted B16 works out better at N14. :lol:Its me DUB said:My plan is to supercharge a year or less from now, so it should be a fun ride.
The scarier thing is I'm putting his tranny in the beater. Not to mention I drove home in the beater with a y-49 motor, tranny, ecu, and shift linkage all from the y car. I stopped half way and offloaded the motor and ECU to george34, and I made it home too... I did end up sick all week afterwards though. I think I'll blame that on Y exposure.downest said:Bart was inside the bay of a Y49?!

Lord, please kill all the Y-49 gremlins before they enter the intakes of the crxs that are in the same garage. HAHA Will the curse transfer from a crx to a civic?CRXBart said:The scarier thing is I'm putting his tranny in the beater.

They never share the same garage anyway. LOLgeorge34 said:Lord, please kill all the Y-49 gremlins before they enter the intakes of the crxs that are in the same garage.

All the cool kids are running Y8sIts me DUB said:Well I flip-flopped on going Y8 mini-me/turbo swap or the B16...and only after I started ripping it out is when I decided for sure on the B16A2. It'll be a cleaner swap, and will resemble what it should have been from the factory. I figure if we're taking this car's virginity, better do it right.![]()
