Type R engine swap questions
I have a couple of questions that I was hoping someone out there familiar with engine swaps could answer for me. I want to drop a JDM Type-R engine into my 1990 Integra GS.
1. Has anyone tried this swap, can it be done, and how hard is it?
2. Do I need other big parts to complete this swap (such as transmission, etc.)?
3. Since JDM Integras have right-sided drivers, will there be a problem swapping the engine since USDM are left-sided drivers?
4. Can you use USDM Type R engine parts for the JDM engine? (Both regular maintenance items and aftermarket performance parts.)
Sorry if this isn't the right place to post this message, but forgive me since I'm new here. Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: Type R engine swap questions (pwrbyrl)
It will bolt in.
You wil reuse your mounts, your wiring harness, probably your transmission
if you dont find a better cable tranny. You just have to add some wires
for knock sensor and vtec.
Now, I'm moving this to hybrid.
