Default Just bought a 1998 honda civic si(canada) with 1997 acura ls motor

Was wondering is there something i have to change to get the tach working or should that not be affected.

The water temp gauge does not work either, hes got a big gay rpm tach hooked up and i wanna get rid of it and have the stock temp and tach.

The battery light is always on. Owner i got it from had a b16a2 in it and he said the battery light has always been on. Is there any wires i can look for as to that might of got crimped off or something.

Im not sure what mounts are in it but i can feel the motor budge quite abit taking off out of first and anytime i let off and get on the gas. What would be a good suggestion for good mount kit.

Thanks for the info on the axles
Also got the tach working i didnt think it was going to as the needle was below the thing that holds it at 0 so i figured someone took the needle off and intalled it wrong i popped it back to the correct side of the needle and it works, not sure if its very accurate but i'll figure that out soon. They had it hacked up and wired to the garbage ricer tach, Got the temp gauge working also.



Turns out they took the engine light bulb out i put a bulb in it turns on with the key goes of for .5 of a second then stays on for good, Im not to worried really as i figure its something to do with a map sensor or something due to the swap.

The tranny says s80 on it im not sure if they means much at all as i think my old 95 gsr said the same, the owner said it was a b16 tranny any way to correctly figure this out?
