Over the years, Honda has produced everything from stripped down econoboxes to some pretty high-performance machines. In typical hot-rodding fashion, it was only a matter of time before enthusiasts started dropping the most powerful engines into the lightest, most affordable chassis. Thanks to the interchangeablity between different Honda engines and chassis, you can showhorn a 200+ horsepower H-series or a high-revving B-series into just about every chassis that Honda has ever built. In Honda Engine Swaps, author Aaron Bonk gives you a rundown of what you'll need to get more engine into your Honda. The first section provides general info about the weight and size issues, and the computer, wiring, and emissions hurdles you'll need to jump. The chapters in the second section each outline a different chassis, from '84-'87 Civics and '86-'89 Integras to the modern '01-'03 Civic. Within each chapter, Bonk walks you through the installation of each of the most popular swaps for that particular chassis. You'll learn to upgrade you axles, brakes, and suspension; convert the wiring and sensors to the new ECU; mix and match electrical connectors, radiator hoses, motor mounts; and even retain your power steering and air conditioning! Bonk uses over 335 photos to help you decide which engine works with your chassis by highlighting the high and low points for each transplant, focusing on the custom, aftermarket, and salvage-yard parts that you'll need. From the little things like injector plugs and radiator hoses to the big things like finding the best transmission and ECU to go with your new engine, Honda Engine Swaps is a one-stop source for Honda/Accura swap info.
