I heard (from a good source) you can run 90-93 teg axles and intermediate (you have to change the axle seals to 90-93 style), but I have not tried it.

You can use the B17 header(if you have it), you will have to reweld your exhaust with any B-series header. And you do not need the fluiddyne, stock radiator will do. Even if you boost it, stock is good (not if you have a serious turbo set-up)

Everything else is good.

well i was looking at a t-3 garrett, i dont know much about the ar and stuff on turbos, i know how the whole setup works, just not turbo specifics.

We are dropping the engine in NA over the thanksgiving break. After it is running, a lil more broken in, i will talk to my tuner abou turbos and all, plus i need to make more $$$.

The shop will do all the labor for $1400 max, that includes dropping in the new engine, putting the new tranny on, clutch, flywheel, throwout bearing on, getting it all wired up and working... AND I'm getting an ITR LSD I want them to install as well...... woooo

Here are the engine specs, 500miles on the build:

93 Integra GSR B17A1 1.7L Engine
Crowler Custom Rods
Arias Pistons @ 8.5:1 CR
Chevy Big Block Valve Springs
Titantium Vlave Retainters
PYR Aluminum Racing Head, full PnP
AEM Pulley Kit

Stock radiator will do the job. Dual-core (EX/ auto trans) radiator would be better.

OBX copys others companys work. I mean, it is a great deal (waits for the H-series OBX LSD to come out), but the "steal" in a way.
