Default Need Help, B18 into 91 DX Hatch Swap Questions

Something came up where my daily driver died, I have a 91 hatch and an obd1 B18a1, what would I need to get that engine into the hatch? I know I could search, but I have to do this like before this coming week, so any help would be appreciated.. I need a basic rundown of what I would need and how much it would cost, I need to try and get a loan Friday to get it done, PLEASE PLEASE help here, I am in such a pinch

****, I didn't specify that it wasn't a GSR, it's a b18a1.. Search for b18a1 swap guide or part list or anything comes up empty, not sure what I am doing wrong.

you need lots of stuff. obd0-obd1 conversion harness. a obd1 engine harness would really help, mpfi fuel line, b series cable trans, 90-93 teg axles with matching intermediate shaft, b series mount kit into 4th gen with shiftlinkage, may or may not need a teg clutch cable, teg throttle line unless you dont mind the long dx line all around your engine bay, obd0 teg alternator unless you convert the obd0 plugs to obd1, im guessing it can be done but then youd also need a obd1 alt plug. obd1 dist, any obd injectors but if 0 you need the resistor box, 4 wire o2 sensor, obd1 ecu, gotta do the dpfi to mpfi conversion, 90-93 teg upper and lower radiator hoses, 90-93 teg drives side engine mount and rear mount. oh and you want to do a basic tune up like timign belt, waterpump, cap, rotor, plugs, wires

cant really think of anything else right now

Alright, I think I found it out, if someone can confirm please do..

In order to put the b18a1 in my 91 DX hatch, I need

92-91 Integra Axles
Mount Kit
MPFI conversion harness, and obd0-obd1 conversion harness
Shortened 92 Integra Shift Linkage
92 Integra throttle cable
92 Integra ECU (what's the code for this?)
92 GSR upper radiator hose
90 Integra lower radiator hose

All this, and I need to dent the framerail. Correct? Anyone know how much all of this should run me, total? Thanks for the help

most of that stuff can be 90-93 as for the ecu you need one from a 92-95 teg because those are obd1

I know it's for a B18a, but the swaps are pretty identical. One thing you dont have to worry about is the VTEC subharness, but that should ahve been obvious.
