Default B18B into '90 CRX HF

I know I need the motor, trans, axles, ecu, wiring, shift linkage, engine mounts, but do I also need the hubs? Anything else you guys can think of that I'm missing?

Thanks for any help. If there are any good links (I have looked at most on here) that you can think of, let me know.

Don't forget all the little things like coolant hoses, fluids, new distributor cap and rotor, sparkplugs, and whatever other parts you want to change before you drop the motor in the car (water pump, timing belt, clutch, thermostat, etc.).

Ahh...the basics. Thanks. I didn't think about the coolant hoses. We all know how many of those god damn bypass hoses there on on the hondas/acuras. So I will need the hubs from the LS Teg? Will they bolt right up? Do I need the rotors and calipers as well?

Anyone know of a good resource for this swap? Most info I find is on the B16's and H22's. I'm looking for something more specific.

One more thing, don't forget to make a dent in the driver's side frame rail so the alternator on the B18 will clear.

also since you said you need the tranny make sure if you get an ls one you get a b18a one. the b18b is a hydro tranny. and the axles i think you need the non abs ones right?
