- Fri Mar 26, 2010 12:42 am #183761 You should make a build thread for it anyways just showing how to do A B Series swap into a Delsol.

B20's are Amazing, I just swapped one into my EK Hatch. It will make that Delsol come to life.

- Fri Mar 26, 2010 2:07 am #183790 Sounds like a good plan to me. pics pics and more pics

95 Civic Coupe DX - d15b7 - some mods nothing crazy - My 5th EG
98 Jeep Cherokee 2 door - little lift with 31s 4.0 5 speed
77 Chevrolet C10 - Mild 350/350 combo - lowered a little

- Mon Apr 05, 2010 11:51 pm #185756 here's some pics..not too many, gf has more on her phone and so does my buddy.

pretty standard stuff (i think...first swap)
disconnected all electrical plugs first (after removing battery of course)
pushed everything out of the way and chained her up.
disconnected the coolant hoses and pulled the radiator.
disconnected the shift linkage.
took the tires off, took apart the brake assembly and pulled the axles
swapped the ecu's

here's ma buddy chaining up the d15b1.



after putting a hair of tension on the hoist (ya i was lucky to use one) slowly undid the mounts, and worked her free. (was semi-difficult mainly because stuff was every.
this is when we finally got the mounts undone and began to pull it out.



after a few hours of slight movements we finally pulled it free and threw it on the ground (hole in block, the connecting rod was twisted like crazy
)



so with that out of the way we moved to pull the b20 (no time to clean as i wanted it done asap) the b20 in the eg coupe was heavily tucked so we had everything unhooked and pulled within an hour or so. we dangled the b20 down (and with about 3 hours of maneuvering it) bolted it in. still piecing it all back together but shes bolted in and almost done.

d-series hood shot (d15b1)



and b-series hood shot (b20b) ((this was before we installed the greddy 4-2-1 sport header ))



il post more when i can actually drive it

- Wed May 12, 2010 2:45 pm #193422 Its awesome you got your B20 Delsol Running. What did you do to your shift linkage? weld in 2" onto the one from the Coupe? Did you have to get the Delsol VTEC rear T Bracket mount?

Congrats on having a B20 powered Delsol. I will be there in a month or so.

- Wed May 12, 2010 5:27 pm #193543 gsr tranny, as for the bracket, i could use one of those or i could just use the one i got, i have to rebolt it on but ima just use that to save $. as far as performance i havnt laid into it cuz i did weld onto the shift linkage (well a buddy of mine did) so currently looking for a b series del sol shift linkage. its my first swap and has taken me over a month to get under control, i think im finally nearing the finishing touches. i hope anyways

- Thu Jun 03, 2010 4:15 am #198376 so i got this thing running and driving a few weeks ago, had ALOT of help from a buddy of mine who lended me abunch of parts. this weekend my gf will be on a vacation so hoping to get some small things done and clean it all around. took it to the car wash and made it shine...the flaws aren't big but to me they are, few rust bubbles over wheel wells and one tiny spot on truck. sweeped it out but thats as far as it goes with cleaning the interior so far, this weekend gonna make it shine all over and hopefully take a ton of pics before it gets dirty again.
