Default B18B Motor Swap Del Sol S

Sorry if there is already a thread about this but I'm new to HT and don't know how to use the forums very well. To get to the point, I'll be swapping in an OBD1 B18B motor into my 95 Del Sol. I want to make sure I have everything at one setting so I can get everything out and in.

THINGS I HAVE:
OBD1 B18B Longblock (complete)

THINGS I NEED:
GSR or SI tranny?
Stock B18B axles?
B16A3 (Del Sol B16) shift linkage? <Is this the only shift linkage that will work on a del sol?>
I have a chipped P06 ecu, should I just reflash it for an ls setup or get a p75 ecu?

Any information on how to do this swap will be great. As well, I have a TD04 turbo setup that was on the D15B7 motor and I was wondering if it was worth it to install this turbo on a B18B. Or should I just rebuild a new turbo kit that is bigger like T3/T4? Thanks for all your help, I really appreciate it...

turbo kit can work, you're just gona have to get a B-series exhaust manifold

The del sol linkage is specific to that car, and to B- or D-series swaps. You'd have to cut a Integra's B-series linkage and re-weld it to fit.

ECu will be fine if you get a B18B1 map put on a chip.

Tranny won't really matter, but the b16 trabs will be a bit quicker in most cases.

The axles should be stock integra axles - they just need to match the year/model that the intermediate shaft is from.

The turbo kit would work...with another manifold. It's a bit small for an LS however. It would perform like a V6 with no topend but lots of low-end torque. AKA it will "fall on its face".
