Default 95 Civic DX B16A to B18C (GS-R) swap

yes..... I searched. no, I didn't find the exact answers I was looking for. yes.. i'm sure they're probably easy questions to answer, but I just want to make sure before I order anything.

have a 95 Civic DX with a JDM B16A Sir II non-lsd trans already in it. going to buy a JDM B18C GS-R with LSD motor, trans, ecu swap. I know i'll have to wire up for the IAB's. everything else should be wired already.

what i'm curious about is the axles, half shaft, shift linkage and motor mounts. since i'm not getting these with my GS-R swap, will the axles, half shaft, linkage and motor mounts from the B16 work or not? far as I know all b-series axles are interchangeable, depending on if abs or not of course. but i'm unsure about if non-lsd and lsd matters.

thank you for any help in advance!

reuse all the stuff that you already have. lsd or non lsd doesn't matter for axles.

actually I am curious on a few other things.

the throttle cable and bracket I have on the B16, will it work with the GSR? I can't tell by the pics on hmotors website if the swap comes with those or not. I am under the impression from reading other threads I might have to get new one's for a gsr.

also, I've got a mishimoto half core radiator/fans/fan shroud/upper and lower hoses setup right now. i'm 99.9% sure everything will work with the exception of the upper hose. i'm guessing i'll need to buy a new upper hose (which means might as well get gsr upper and lower hose kit and sell the old ones for the b16).

If it makes any difference im going to use the stock manifold. Not doing aftermarket as theres no need until im making serious power. Im thinking its either gsr cable and current bracket or itr cable with itr bracket. From what i've read seems the stock cable and current bracket wont work.

Would have thought by now a definate answer would have been given outta all the threads i've seen.

you'll have to use a gsr cable and bracket. the gsr stuff mounts on the throttle body versus the manifold like on the other b series.
