3800 conversion kit
Thursday, August 03, 2006 11:16 AM
i thought i saw a 3800 engine conversion kit as in the sub-frame wiring harness but i cant find it back.
so does anyone know if someone makes a kit or where i could get one?

Thanks
Paul

I highly doubt it. It's a bit more than just the subframe and wiring harness that needs to be modified.

And actually I beleive there is a place that will sell a sub frame for this conversion with all the mounts and braces already welded on.

The people who did Ravens conversion sell the "kit", which is basically a new subframe. Contact Raven to get the name of the performance shop he used.

WOW...I swear people on this site don't know how to search! Like I have said over and over again in numerious other posts. You can contact either myself (Raven) or Brad (Double Z) for prices on the sub-frame, mounts, wiring harness and now I can also do custom tunes for the PCM's which is required to run a 50-speed.

Again, either Brad or myself can sell you what you will need, contact us for more info.

Uh.... James, 50 speed? Top speed of about 2569 MPH?

I need to speak to you James about my PCM, I can send it to Brad if you want and send the $ to the DoubleZ account again. Whatever way you need to do it because I am going to be sending him my wiring harness's to do anyway, might as well throw it all in one box.


Re: 3800 conversion kit

lol...yeah didn't catch that typo in time. As far as the PCM goes I can do whatever you want. When the time comes refresh my memory on what your running and I'll give you a good base tune. The double Z account is fine for payment as well, I'll just grab the PCM when it gets here.

Well what is your definiton of a simple b series swap. I have seen some pretty sketchy B and H swaps in civics. No but really as long as your car has not been hit in the front end the new sub-frame will bolt right up to your car. The mounts will allow you to bolt the 3800 into your engine bay using our sub-frame. Everything will be lined up in the engine bay (axles, rad clearance etc.) and securly mounted. The wiring harness will be custom wired for your application, all we require is your make, model and year of your original harness and of the 3800 harness that you got with your engine. If you are going with a 5-speed than I can tune it so it will be plug and play with your setup without any engine codes being set. Once the engine is mounted in the hole and the wiring is done it's pretty straight forward from there. Nothing anyone with a little bit of mechanical knowledge couldn't do thats for sure. Plus you always have my first rate tech support.

Now about core charges, since the sub-frame and harness are made in part with your original parts we have to apply core charges. Just like anywhere else you can either pay a core charge up front and we will refund you when you send in your existing core or you can send in your parts upfront and wave the core charge all together.

Yours are pretty much done. Just have to do the final welding, some grinding and some paint and your good to go. I think Brad plans to have them ready to ship out to you on Tuesday.

Once the engine is mounted/sercured in the hole and the wiring done the hard parts are over. So yeah it can be made that easy. The only thing really left from that is to rebend the power steering lines, run some fuel lines, add an oil filter relocation kit, figure out what your doing for an intake, run some new cooling hoses, install shifter cables, blah, blah, blah.

Just send me an email and we can talk prices on everything.
