Tommorow I am doing my swap and I just need some reassurance on some issues. I have a obd0 b18a1 that's going into a 94 ex coupe. So far I replaced all the seals timing stuff etc with oem parts. It's mated to a 1995 gsr tranny, I'm using 95 gsr int. shaft, axles, and dist (only bolts up with one leg but it's nice and tight) I'm using a 94 up crank pulley too. So I know this motor will "bolt right up" cause I'm using the 95 gsr mounts but what about the wiring cause the motors obd0. I'm also concerned about where to put the map sensor, and what I should do as far as the front radiator hose. Any advise would be helpful.
Thanx in advance

a motor is just an air pump . the electronics you use to run it is what decides if its obd-0, 1,2,and so on. the harness off your car should work fine but you will need a 94 -up ls int ecu . also you will need some obd -1 injectors and obd-1ls dizzy .

You can put the MAP sensor anywhere as long as it's connected to the throttle body via a small vacuum hose. Just ziptie it on the back of the manifold near the TPS or something along those lines. As for electronics, I would definitely use a 92-95 OBD1 Integra LS ECU, distributor and injectors.
You can actually reuse the D series radiator hoses. I used them as a short-cut method one time on a friend's swap but now I reuse the D series hoses all the time. You just need to take a heatgun and heat up the end of the hose on the engine side. Use some WD-40 or oil on the water neck on the motor and they should slide on. This prevents the typical B series hose to sohc radiator leaks and what not.

Well the swap was a success. I used my obd-1 wiring harness obd-1 injectors, gsr dizzy (with only one leg but works great), I had to switch around a few of the sensors from my z6 so they would plug in. The map sensor is secured to the I/M. One of the things that took a while to figure out was whenever we tried putting the cv's into the hubs they weren't long enough and there's some kinda spacer you have to take out of the hub... Thankfully one of my buddies from Tybrid performance in Austin was able to be there and coach us thru the install (thanx kenny). He also hooked me up with a fuel pressure gauge which came in handy because the car ran like *** when we first got it started because the fuel pressure was only at 25 psi and it was upped to about 38 psi via adj fuel reg. Now the only problems I have is there's a bad injector and the header/downpipe I peiced together has no o2 bung. Motor runs pretty strong though even with a bad injector, p28 ecu, and no o2. I'm getting my chipped LS today. I had a po5 a buddy sold me for $20 and the guy chipping it gonna trade me straight up for my p28 (good deal in my opinion). I have to say this motor and tranny combo is great. Very torquey, and the gears are alot shorter than my old z6 tranny. Thanx for everyone's help it definitely came in handy. I took pics thru-out the process and I'll try and post them soon. If anyone ever has any questions about this particular swap feel free to Pm me and I'll help you out. By the way this motor was made in 1989 and has perfect comp. I don't think ther's any more than 60k on the engine.
