The mounts won't be a problem. I am getting the whole car the engine is in. 90 Teg so I am also going to swap in the black leather seats also. So the motor mounts will be there etc.

The stock integra motor mounts will not work in the ef chassis unless you cut, move, and then reweld the mounting locations on the chassis. That is whythere are numerous companies that manufacture bolt in engine mounts that allow the b series engines to drop right into the ef chassis.

You will need to modify the existing wiring harness in the dx. This is called the mpfi swap. Your dx hatchback is wired for dpfi which only controls two injectors. However, the b18 has four injectors so a conversion needs to be made. Search for mpfi and you will see what it is all about.
