prepping for d15b swap
I pretty much decided that I want a d15b swap. I just need to prepare for it.
I know its a straight swap but I dont think I have the knowledge or the tools get this done. I don't know people who can do it either..so i think I may bring it to a shop.
So far I know its almost a 'bolt on' swap. I just have to wire it for VTEC. So do I need a ex/si vtec harness?
Before dropping it in, I plan on changing the clutch, water pump, spark plugs, and timing belt. Is there anything else worth changing? I don't plan on racing at all...just fast enough to switch lanes on the freeway.
Is it worth it to change the flywheel while I'm at it?
EDIT: Can anyone comfirm that I can use the VX water pump since they are interchangable? I dunno about the distributor or spark plugs. Anyone reccommend any type of clutch? no race please.

Searching isn't that hard. I searched under d15b and found TONS of results.
