I drive a 93 civic DX hatch and vary soon i will be geting a type r motor swap. right now my dx is stock. In addition to a b18c5 motor swapet in what else do i need??brakes???etc..... the only thing i bout so fare was tein springs and gass shocks. plz help bec i want to get it alldone once thanks alot

 

you will need an exhaust, 2 1/4 or 60 mm. you should upgrade suspension tein like you said is really nice. and the brakes, get 4 disc brakes from integra or get a type r if have the money.. integra with good pads and rotors will be enough..

you can add intake or headers, but it can be done later,

 

I would do an obd1 setup for your ecu on that swap. Its nice to have an ecu that can be reprogramed perfectly to the engine and any mods done it the future. I did it for the one in my crx.

 

was told that a re-chipped p28 ecu was the one to go for..... is that a obd1 setup?so i should get a full new exhust a would a type r exhust sistem work?
and yea i got the new springs and shock made 4 a 92 to 95 civic, will they be ok to use when add gsr or type r brakes ? soory im new thanks alot big help

yes a P28 is OBD-1. main reason people use a chipped one is because its easier to get tuned with all the available programs and no knock sensor.
