Del sol B16 in my EJ [shift linkage question]
I've got a 93 coupe DX, If I was to swap the del sol B16 in, would the shift linkage work? If not what shift linkage could I use? Also since the Del sol is an EG would the stock del sol EG motor mounts bolt in and work on my EJ coupe? What about the fuel supply line? Would I need to switch out the one from the Del sol? I know that I would have to get the car wired for vtec. Is there anything else that I need to know? Besides doing the preventative maintenance like timing belt, waterpump. I would appreciate your help on this and rep will be given.

Shift linkage from a B series would work on your EG. The Del Sol shift linkage will NOT work thus its too long. Del Sols are like the same as the EG but linkage and hood cable are "freaken" differnent for some reason. You can use stock B series Del Sol mounts unless you opt for Hasport mounts and other aftermarket mounts. Make sure they are Del Sol Vtec mounts NOT Del Sol Si ones ( sohc vtec ). Leave stock fuel supply line. Maintiance wise,.... well if you know were the B16 came from ( person who had it before you ) if he or she dogged it out I would replace seals, gaskets, water pump, t-belt, etc.. I'd rather do it now then later. Ebay sellers have B16A gasket set for like $70 and thats everything all that you need to rebuilt the motor per say. Come to think about it I have a B-series shift linkage for $50 shipped. Hope I answered your quesitons. lMK if you need the linkage

man I wish I knew you like a month ago..... I had to buy it brand new and special order from Honda for $180. Not bad it only took 2 days. And I wasnt dissapointed when I got it. It was the right part. Some people who sell things online your taking a risk of getting shafted. If you need any other help let me. Im a member of Teamsofl also.
