you'll need complete swap
motor,tranny, axles, shiftlinkage, ecu
mounts, etc.

all of this. try going to the hybrid forum, great info there and if its similar to the ek b series swap you will need a b series rear mount, driver side block mount, the front lower tranny mount, and the ac bracket all from a b series motor. might have some wiring issues too

your best bet is actually to get the entire complete swap, axles and all. you first have to understand that the integra chassis is based right off the EG civic chassis at least for the engine bay which is the most important so basically your working with the exact same thing. your vx has the vtec wiring but it was never meant for dohc vtec so it has no knock and iab wiring etc. you can get any 94+ GSR swap with harness and it will drop right in and the harness connect to the 3 plugs on the shock tower on the pass side and 2 or so plugs on the corner where the clutch reservoir is and your basically %90 done.

94-95 gsr's are OBD1 for the motor plugs but have OBD1 chassis plugs
96-01 gsr's are OBD2 for the motor plugs but have OBD1 chassis plugs

so like i said its cake.

I was waiting for someone to comment on that. I know we all know what he's talking about but his subject was Put VX engine into GSR, thats funny!!!

He would definitely be an innovator if he did that.
