97 Integra getting a jdm 98 spec b18c swap.
I purchased a 97 GSR that needs a upgrade. I am looking into swaping in a JDM 98+ spec B18C.
If anyone can ponit me into the right way to make this happen. I need to know if this is pretty much plug n play. I heard that you have to use the GSR harness becuase the JDM wiring is for RHD conversion. Anyways, I hope to get some help.
thanks for your time.

You heard right.
You need to reuse your existing GSR harness on the JDM engine, it will plug n' play.
the swap is plug n play as well.
You might need to get your exhaust piping modified though, if you run the JDM 4-1 header which has a 2.5" collector.

Re: 97 Integra getting a jdm 98 spec b18c swap. (Katman)
thats a good ponit...
I wasn't thinking about the header being different. Thanks
If anything I can swap to the GSR header for a quick install.
The only thing that i am somewhat still confused about is: My 97 GSR is obd2... and I am not sure what the 98+ B18C type R is. I think its obd2a or b ? ,but if i use the existing wiring from the gsr... would this keep it to obd2 and i would just need a conversion harness to plug the ECU ?

all JDM ITR engines are OBD2a spec from 97-00. The ecu will plug directly into your 97 GSR ecu plugs w/out a jumper harness...
