wow just use the search button at the top cause it sounds like you have no idea what your talking about. the most important things would be motor tranny ecu axles shift linkage and then of course theres all the little things but ya.

Axles and motor mounts

The most important things you'll need? Well, you already have the most important thing, which is the chassis - can't do an LS swap without a car to swap it into. The other important thing would be the LS drivetrain - can't do an LS swap without the LS drivetrain! Everything else is minor and not as important.

you will need integra Hub asseblies
axles and mounts from a 94+integra b16 b18 whatever
ls obd-2 dizzy
ls obd-2 ecu
obd-2 ls harness or you can lenghten your d series harness on a few sensors
b18 shift linkage too
and the ls swap

perty much covers it

wrong
you dont need hub assemblies when doing a swap on a 97 civic

if you get the donor out of a 97-98, the swap will be much easier for you. everything should pretty much plug in and start right up as long as you have everything to bolt in from the other car... you will need some civic si or adapter mounts to fit the new powertrain in your car.

Good Luck

All the above mentioned parts and a rear mount from a 99-00 SI. Not sure about the hubs. I put a gsr swap in my roomates 97 dx hatch and never changed them and it's went 2 years with no problems. Well until it got stolen at least. Good luck and put in a alarm to protect you investment.

The most important thing is the motor.

boostonjuice

the most important thing is that you dont try to do this swap if you dont know what you are doing

-si rear t-bracket is needed
-a new aftermarket driver side mount cause the stock civic one isn't strong enough...the torque from the ls will tear the rubber mount
-and just reuse your tranny mount, lower tranny and driver side mounts...
-harness, just reuse yours so you won't have any head aches...
-plug and play after that..
-tranny fluid, oil, and coolant


good luck with your swap...any questions, just email me or IM me....ntxhuav4mang@aol.com...

again, good luck...
