If you are getting a full swap (egine, tranny, ecu, etc.) You shouldn't "need" to keep anything. But I would keep everything because almost all B-series parts are interchangeable.

most swaps don't come with axles or motor mounts, it depends on where you are getting the swap. But since you plan on selling the Si swap, I would keep all motor mounts, both axles, wiring harness. is it a jdm type r swap or usdm?

jdm harness is useless cuz its right hand drive, so that gets thrown out or ebayed. axles are the same, only thing you gotta consider is the year of the swap. 99-00 Si are obd2b, 97-99 itr are obd2a and 00-01 itr are obd2b. so the computers are different and you might need a jumper harness. everything else should be all plug n play

jdm harness wont fit it goes in on the opposite side as your car. keep your motor mounts and your harness and you will be fine

You MUST keep your Si engine harness & transfer it onto the new motor because the JDM harness is backwards, and DC Integra engine harnesses have a completely different way of connecting to the car than EK civics...

You will NEED to keep your Si axles too because 98+ JDM ITR ones are too big on the outer joint & won't fit your hubs. You could easily sell the JDM ITR axles because someone will be looking for them, but all that takes time...

If you use a 96-97 JDM ITR swap, the axles will fit your car, but the ECU will not. You would then have to source a 98+ ITR ECU...
