Default My swap is done!

WHOO-HOO!!!!!
I just started my '92 hatch after putting in a B18A1. It's my first swap, although I have done some old school engine rebuilds, and I didn't get any engine code! Nada, NOTHING. Just cranked it over and it purred like it's supposed to. The tranny is a very clean '95 GSR unit so I'm hoping those ratios will let me get out of my own way I'll post pictures soon, but I have to get them developed first Special thanks to Vtec-Villian and others for helping me with a couple of questions early on

Most definately will be looking into a turbo setup That's what spawned the entire project. Not sure of specs yet, but I'm still learning.

Hey thanks for the replies everyone! It's a great feeling to have done everything myself and have it work with pretty much no headaches at all. B-series seems too common a swap nowadays, but I got a good deal on the parts and figured it'd be a good place to start

Hydro, iwhich, Devin, and Paybac - Good luck on all engines, hopefully it will be easy going.
