best way is just to get a obd0-obd1 coversion harness, it might seem like a lot of cash for wiring, but its best to have it done right the first time, so you arent chasing down wiring problems later

Yeah if you're not good with wiring you can basically have a place like rywire do everything for you can all you need to do is hook it up..

You can try it yourself though..Here are some writeups

No,,For passenger side you need any b-series axle..For driver side you match the axle wit the halfshaft..So if you have a 90-93 integra halfshaft get the 90-93 axle..If you have the 94-01 halfshaft get the 94-01 integra axle..Also remember to remove the little dust rings from inside the hubs,otherwise the axles will bind..

Hey Bobby do what Josh K. did, take your motor out and unplug all the wires from the motor and do the same to the motor when you get it, put the 2 harneses in a box with the Hasport order form which you can print it off and the send into hasport. The total is gunna be $214 but they send you back instructions and its very simple and Josh and I could help you because him and i did this to his car which is a dx. And I dont know why Tony and everybody thinks you have to get an 89 integra axle cuz you dont do that! You just take off your dust cover and on ur hub and it will work perfect and I know how ta do that too. Actually just check my topics Ive crreated about dx to ls it answers all ur questions.
