I have really never gotten into the Tuner scene much or anything I have always admired them I just never got into it too much. When I was younger I had an 89ish CRX HF that I did a b18 swap in. I just recently picked up a 1991 Civic Hatch that someone did a half **** B20Z2 swap in that I am currently trying to get squared away. I think that I will hold on to this a bit, I believe that it will be a little fun car to tinker with. I know it needs some work especially with the exhaust it is obnoxious and rusted out.
I need to find some smaller rims they are currently 18's.
Hood is bent up and missing the emblem. Front bumper/kit cracked and repaired.
Update on my Honda.
The Bad
The person who did the swap did so lazily, between myself and my mechanic we have found multiple things that were done half arsed. The throttle body was not screwed on tightly at all (I could loosen the bolts by hand), there were multiple hoses missing clamps, the TPS is stuck so it needs replaced, the fuel filter was missing some of the parts to have it completely functional. It is spitting raw fuel out of the exhaust. The guy had set the timing off to where it would run richer (No clue why though). He cut the threads off of the shift rod so that it would be a "short throw". They wired the tach to the distributor. There are random wires running everywhere (no clue where or what they run to we will have to trace them to see).
The Good
The motor has good compression, transmission is pretty much perfect, the clutch and flywheel are brand new, has adjustable cam gears.
Update on the Honda repair/build. Still having issues with running rich and idling being a bit on the rough side. I had thought that maybe it was the ECU so I pulled that and found a PR4 ECU. I am going to include some photos of what I have. I also checked the distributor and it seems to be an OBD0 distributor as well.
I don't have any check engine lights on either.
quit makin fun of meee.... lol
I don't even know if those will stay after I decide what to do about the paint and stuff. That is a ways down the road though I need to get it running right first and foremost.
the previous owner looks like put on a stock integra p75 mani , make sure theres a good seal o the mani , tb , injectors & all vac lines. im having the same prob w the same motor.
Yea. My mechanic and I went over all of that most of it was loose and half way done. We made sure everything was sealed and connected back the right way. It cleared up a good bit of it but, it is still running rich and idles like it wants to choke out.

I just re-read what you said lol. I am going to ask my mechanic to take a look at that for me since I won't be able to until I am off again which is Tuesday. The injectors I know we checked and the Vacume lines as well because, we ended up having to put a bunch of clamps on where they were missing. I also know that the throttle body and injector rail was loose also. (To the point that we could loosen the bolts by hand.)
So found out that the idiot that did the swap was either lazy or just didn't care we found wires from the starter cut and rigged with a relay. Found the main fuse from the battery to the brain box was blown and instead of getting a new fuse they "jumped" it. Found random hoses from the intake manifold that were just capped off with a screws. Not too sure where they are supposed to go either. I am enclosing some new photos. We are still running a little rough and rich. No where near as bad as before though. All the research that I can do suggests that we should be running lean with the ECU we have but, alas we are not.
