Default Ls swap into EK

Now I am sure many people have posted threads about this (feel free to direct me to some)

But I just need to know WHAT else I need with a complete 95 B18 motor and tranny to get it working in EK civic

Mounts, wiring, ect.

On a budget, just barely have enough for the motor.

And I guess I should say its a B18B1 (from a 95 integra)

Harness- What do I use, It sounds like you need to customize it...
ECU- Use the integras
Shift linkage-??
Rear mount- Where do most people get this? Junk yards? Online? and whats it gonna cost? about $50?

Thanks

you dont need the harness...unless your current harness doesnt have a 4 wire oxygen sensor. other than that...just use an obd1 ecu with a jumper harness from obd2 to obd1. the rest seems right....but to be more specific-
ecu-obd1 LS ecu with jumper harness
axles-any b series axle (integra, 99-00 civic si)
shift linkage-99-00 civic si linkage
motor
tranny
and the rear mount from a 99-00 civic si

as well as...
all the mounts from a civic 99-00 si

i believe thats all...someone let me know if i forgot somethin.

I will be getting the axles and ecu along the motor and tranny.

Will the ecu be obd1? What is the jumper harnness?

How should I get the mounts and shift linkage? And what is a price estimate?

Why do some people say only a rear mount requires changing, while others say all?

And is it specific to only 99-00 si.

Or would a del sol b16 shift linkage also suffice?

And again where do people get these parts?

Ive never heard of someone using the linkage from a sol. Not saying it wouldnt work, ive just never heard of it. My motor is obd2 so i dont have to worry about the conversion harness. U can google it.

the del sol shift linkage wont work...i think it is too short. a buddy of mine did a b16 in a hatch then traded the shell for a sol so he told me he had to find a del sol b16 shift linkage. if you have one let me know...he would be interested most likely. lol and you can can get the jumper harness from a bunch of places. here is probably the best place. i bought a harness from them and its legit. and they give detailed instructions.

BTW you can use the stock integra shift linkage if it comes with one. Also you can use the integ front tranny mount the si one isn't necessary. Actually the only 99-00 si mounts that you need would be the timing belt upper mount and the rear t-bracket. If you are wanting to keep ac and use your stock ac compressor you will need a crv ac bracket. So of the 5 mount you will use.

t-bracket, timing belt post mount-99-00 si
upper tranny mount-stock civic (they're all the same)
lower tranny mount-integ
ac bracket-crv if keeping ac integ if not

HTH

So If I use the original 94 Integra CPU( what is it called btw? ) in my 98 VTEC civic what modifications will I need to make to pass emissions and get everything working perfectly?

I looked at that link but it was difficult to identify everything.

I just read the howto and it said "to bust the myths" all mounts from the integra are used. The walkthrough was for a 92 Civic tho, is that the reason?

So I need to find a lot of mounts...

92-95 civics and itegras have the same chassis basically. for 96-00 civics...you have to use alot of of the 99-00 si stuff. like the rear t bracket. and i dont know **** about emissions...we dont have them here. lol
