purchasing an ef soon lotsa questions...please help
Hey all I am usually in the integra forum cuz that is what I currently drive. Due to a car wreck that I caused I am no longer able to afford insurance and car payments on my integra.
I am going to be looking for an ef hatchback and have a few questions.
My plans are to swap a jdm d15b into whatever model I get and then turbo the motor.
What model should I be looking for???
Is one model better/easier to perform this swap with?
Is a mpfi swap needed for all models on the ef?
Any parts I should start looking for to make the swap go easier?
I am purchasing the motor from hmotorsonline, Is their any other parts that will be needed that are not included?
I will convert to obd-1 so I need to get a conversion harness and an obd-1 ecu...does the motor from hmotors include all other needed obd-1 parts????
Thanks for the help in advance I have searched but I just feel like I'm not really sure what to be searching for as I am completely knew to these cars and motors.

I'd suggest an '89 Si Hatchback. It's already MPFI, and one of the lighter chassis. The only drawback is the smaller diameter clutch/FW (if you retain those parts) and the ECU is more difficult to chip than 90-91 (but you're going OBD1, so it doesn't matter).
Thanks for the quick replies. So I will start looking for an Si!!! Also I am going to get the tranny that comes with the swap. Her is a link with everything included in the package. http://www.hmotorsonline.com/s...30019
These are all obd-1 parts correct? So what tranny will come with this so I can purchase a new clutch and flywheel???
Other then that I will just need to get 0bd-1 ecu and a converstion harness right????????? Everything should just be plug and play? Do I still have to wire for vtec? I think I read the a p28 ecu would be best is this correct???

You will need to use an 88-91 civic/crx transmission and match the clutch and flywheel to the transmission year. The hydro trans will not work in the ED chassis without a custom motor mount and hydraulic clutch actuation mechanism.
You will need the OBD1 ecu and a conversion harness and also will need to wire for VTEC

So the 88-91 tranny will bolt up to the d15b with no problems??? any custom work needed to get this to work???

Correct, it will bolt right up.
