Default B18c swap questions

I know this has been covered but I cant find a good answer to my questions, plus I think this should be covered up.

Do you use the axles from the integra in a 5th gen civic?
How do you wire it up considering its from a rhd car?
What motor mounts do you need?
What should I change out when i get it?
What do I need to make the exhaust line up to the b18's header?
All these questions are for a b18c (gsr) engine into a 95 civic coupe.
Thanks

the axles fit right in. Iassume your talking about a jdm b18c so use your wiring harness. Use integra brackets, and your civic rubber mounts (also use the civic top tranny mount. Change clutch, timing belt, water pump, and anything else that is a pain in the ***. The exhaust will line up...but you need to extend it a few inches

he basically answered all ur questions, ill try make clearer i did the same swap into by 95 coupe. use your engine harness but you will have to add in a knock sensor since bseries motors use this and sohc do not. The axles from the gsr motor are what u need to use along with the halfshaft from the gsr motor. Use the tmount, lower tranny, and lower ac mount from the gsr. Use the upper trans and upper drivers side from your civic. If u plan on keeping your ac you are going to have to get the lower ac mount from a delsol DOHC. Change what he said, clutch, throw out beaing, timing belt water pump. the rest can be done once in the car. as for the exhaust i used an extension piece from a 90-93 integra that i had cut and welded to fit. or u can just have the stock headers lengthen on piping added to the other end of the exhaust. any way will work. hope thats everything u needed to know.

I think that a jdm motor will not have a knock sensor.

I thought that you could use the gsr wire harness for this swap. Can somebody please clear that up for me. I'm doing the same swap and I'm not sure if I want to do it myself.

You can use a USDM GS-R harness for the swap. This is what I did.

Also, my JDM B18C did come with a knock sensor.
