That is an OBD1 motor, so you would need to either convert the car, or convert the motor.

One thing I woudl suggest, look at back issues of Sport Compact Car(try a big library they often have back issues). I forget which issue, but maybe the may or june one this year had a very good and detailed article about swapping a B18A1 into a 1991 Civic DX hatch. It will help you through the process. It had Street Racing Tokyo on the cover.

I believe you have to shorten the linkage 3", as a general rule, but different engine mounts locate the engine in different places, so until you get it all installed, it might be hard to say. Unless you are using the Hasport mounts, I don't know if the hasport linkage will be correct.

You'll need the integra axles, radiator hoses, throttle cable, too.

yes, he will need everything basically out of the teg...including the pr4 ecu. scc does have a good how-to...somewhere back in the back issues. Wish I had more details for you , but a good person to ask some questions to would be Screamincivik on this board...he has been through hell and back doing LS swaps, b18a mostly. I have the B18B, but it was in the car when I bought it...I just pulled it and put it right back in after rebuild so I had all the parts here.

Give him a hollar on PM's he will respond quickly

You cannot use the Integra harness as is.

Go to Yahoo and search on ZC Engine swap. I guarantee like 1345642176786425767236487 posts on this one topic.
I think the original came out of HondaTuning, or Super Street, and everyone wanted it on their site...
All these articles seem to be worded the same, although there are different authors.

Also, pay attention to the pictures. Seems that they are all the same too.
I donno. Plaigarism?

theres at least one guy on this board, too, that sells adapters to go from OBD0 to OBD1..

I bet if you post in the 'Tech' forum a topic like: going OBD0 to OBD1 he will post and help you out.

If i was u i would use the engine harness from the teg back to th ecu and call it day there. Since you have the entire integra front clip the only parts you wil need are the HASPORT mounts.

The only hard labor you will have to do is the beating in on the frame rail, and rear engine beam.

FYI i drive a B18A1 SM civic SI that i did all the work my self(please remember no swap are easy just some are less painless).

You will need an OBD0-OBD1 adapter harness. You need to repin the distributor plug to accept the OBD1 distributor, add 2 injector wires, add 2 wires for the CYL position sensor to the new Distributor, add the Jumper plug for the 4 injectors, 1 power wire for the heated O2 and then over to where they get power from the 2 YL/Black wires. Add three a total of 3 wires to the 4 wire O2 sensor. If you need a converter and modified DX-OBD1 LS harness let me know. Easier to go this route and modify your DX harness than redo whole car unless you have boatloads of time to throw away. Always use what harness came in the car and add what you need to it to make the swap work, alot less headaches later on. If you are intested then you could send me the DX harness, the LS harness, the DX ecu, the LS ecu plugs and it would make it a little bit cheaper. I sell alot of OBD0-OBD1 adapters as well.

stuff off the integra, engine, tranny, intermediate shaft, axles, integra harness for mpfi plugs, shiftlinkage with stiff rod, vaccum parts, throttle cable, clutch cable. why not jsut keep the teg there utnil you finish the swap and youd make sure you got everything there because thats the easiest. because you know we will forget to tell you a part so its best just to keep the whole car there utnil your done with it.

oh and for the obd0 to obd1 i think its blown90hatch taht sells them on here
