Mid 15's is probably a little harsh.

Low 15's sounds more like it, and possibly high 14's depending on where you race at. There's a few here in GA (slow area) that have run high 14's on stock LS motors in hatches.

Here's a list of the **** you need from the Teg:

1. Engine
2. Tranny
3. Mounts (ask Trey which ones you'll need to actually use)
4. ECU
5. Upper and Lower Radiator hoses
6. Exhaust manifold - both portions
7. Catalytic convertor
8. Axles and intermediate shaft

From here on, you can get this stuff too to make the car better. Hope you can get this ****:

1. Front Spindles with brakes. Bigger than Civic.
2. Rear traling arms with brakes and swaybar. Couldn't hurt, right?
3. Brake booster, master cylinder, prop valve.
4. Seats - were yours in good shape?


IM Trey here - he's good with the "EK" tech. He will know the ins and outs of the engine and brake swaps I'm sure. I could tell you if you get a 1992-1995 hatch.

Also, I *think* you can just use the Civic harness. Depending on the year of your Teg motor, you may need to use the Civic injectors and possibly re-pin or swap distributors.

You had a 1995 Integra? From the Sig? If it is a 1995, you will need a jumper harness to run the OBDI ECU. Contact the user "kenji" here - he makes bad-*** jumper harnesses.

Lastly - a 1992-1995 Civic would be easier and more LEGAL if you live in a state that requires the same year or newer motor in the car.

Good luck!

B18c5-EG2 is right with the parts.

for a list of the mounts and the prices check out http://www.jspectuning.com/6gen/

You'll need to use the Civic engine harness too.

Good Luck,

Useful info

I'm picking up a 98 LS swap for my 96 CX

Trey - I've been reading that the LS harnesses are plug n play with the EK. All except one 3 wire harness. Is that not true?

Thanks!
