BoostedAce Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Im swapping my civic and was wondering since my car came factory cable clutch if I should use a master cylinder out of a 1992-2000 civic. Also not sure how to run my shifter linkage. The swap is a 1990 civic hatch shell with a 4g63. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg1647545532 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 I don't believe the cylinder will bolt to the firewall anywhere. The pedals won't bolt in either. SOP for older civics is to convert a hydraulic transmission to use the cable with a kit like this: http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=EM&Product_Code=HASPORT-EGBCC Ignore the trans mount since you'll be making your own. It's basically just a couple of pieces that bolt onto the clutch fork lever to create a mounting point for the cable. You may be able to make something similar for your app. Does the 4G63 trans use shift cables? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg1647545532 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 In that case, for inspiration I'd look at whatever people do for H22 or K-series swaps into 88-00 civics/tegs. Generally they take the shifter mounting plate out of a prelude or accord and just kinda bolt it down somehow. I've never seen one that didn't look at least a little janky.

BoostedAce Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 You think a 1st gen talon/eclipse would be good to just bolt to my floorboard. Kind of like that picture above? Well hell I got one might as well try that first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well hell I got one might as well try that first This was my thought, should keep the correct throw to the 4g63 cables. Interesting swap, hope you can get it together soon.

I also think 4G63 into an EF is a great idea that doesn't get enough respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyBuiltRacing Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 There was a guy on honda-tech that did this swap into an EG, do a google search you might be able to find his thread and see if he has any info for ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
