Default JDM OB1 B18C into, 94 Civic Si

I've been searching and can not find this exact swap info. I know its going to physically drop in and bolt up fine. What I couldn't find out is if I can just use the JDM ECU on my wire harness? If I can are all the wires just PnP? Or do I have to switch pins? What exactly is involved?
Next quest, is the TB the only thing that needs to be changed? if so what exactly do I need to do, get a USDM GSR TB? Or throttle cable? if so what one? And is there any other tricks or guides that might help me with the JDM to USDM swap out?

Again My car is OEM 1994 Civic Si
Thanks for any help.

ecu will plug in, use the si harness and add wires for knock and IAB(u can find out how to do this by searching), use a 94-01 gsr throttle cable. search for c-speedracing.com they have a walk through on this swap.

what part of orlando?

I've been reading alot about the "adding wires" for the KS and IAB. What I have yet to figure out is when I add wires does that mean I will be running a brand NEW wire from the CPU all the way to the sensor (threw firewall trying to rout it into the correct places)? This seems to be the most confusing part for me.

Yes that's what we mean by adding wires for the ks and iab. If you don't have the wires on hand or don't know how to make the wires and plugs for it, here's a link to buy them: http://stores.ebay.com/HONDAPARTSHERO

Ok so you make wire sub harness for the firewall to the engine. But what about from the CPU to the firewall? Does anyone have exact instructions on what wires need to be ran onto what pins? or do you sell kit for that as well? I just want the wires to be VERY clean install.

re: the TB, you don't have to do anything if you are using the dual runner intake mani. if you wanted to use that TB and a single plane intake mani, like a skunk one or something, you'd have to get a 'normal' angle TB rotor from a z6/y8/b16/c5/18b etc

Really good site for info, I checked out some of the other stuff they had. Just need some kind of picture similar to the link for the KS and IAB and should be set. Thanks for all the links posted they are most helpful. I'll do a full write up on my "common" swap once I'm all done. I'll take lots of pictures and such.
