B16a1 tranny and B18c motor?

Will will the B16a1 auto tranny fit on a B18c motor?

like a glove

Any b-series tranny will mate to any b-series block.

I’m not sure about the crv trannies but who wants one of them anyway?

BTW, what do you want an auto tranny for anyways?!?!

Just sell the car and buy an Integra equipped with a manual transmission. A motor swap would NOT be worth the trouble or money if you keep it automatic.

so i would have to use the ecu from the b16a in order to control the auto?

i want auto due to the fact that i comute alot to and from work every day.

You would need the ECU from an auto B16.

But I always thought an auto tranny gives you less gas milage…somebody correct me if I’m wrong…

What else can I say about it? If you’re worried about commuting, convenience and what not, don’t bother with the swap then.

Agreed, you’re not going to get the kind of performance you’d expect from the B18C if you mate it with the auto tranny. I suggest a B20 swap (cheaper, easier) over the B18C if you’re going to keep your AT.

Right now I have a bone stock auto b18a with both having almost over 200,000 k’s on them, the tranny is starting to make funny noises and the engine has no power anymore. so I do expect a difference with the b18c and an auto tranny, over my dieing b18a with 130 fwhp. :smiley: :smiley:

So all I just want to make sure I have this straight a b161 auto tranny will mate up to a b18c and both can be controlled by a b16a1 non-obd ecu? because the way I see it the b16a1 ecu will be a good controller of the b18c because they both are VTEC, both redline at 8200 rpm, and the comp has the fuel curve for the high revving VTEC motors. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

The Auto B16 ECU redlines at 7800 RPM. You can expect about 25% driveline loss with the AT, so your 170HP B18C will net roughly 125-130HP at the wheels assuming everything is working well.

Check out this link of dyno testing an Auto SiR.

You will have to modify the GSR intake manifold if you will be running a B16A ecu. The GSR manifold has secondary butterflys which are not controlled by the B16A ecu. You can remove the butterflys if you like or go with a skunk2 manifold.

actually i found a complete integra gsr motor with the gsr auto from japan, out of a 97 teg i belive. so that will be much better than the mixmatching i was going to do. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
