B-series engine mount kit into the 88-91 chassis..
Pre-made shiftlinkage for the swap or cut and reweld an integra unit..
Make a pretty big size dent on the inner fender for alternator clearence..
Most mount kits require you to use a rear mount bracket from a 90-93 integra..
Add 4 wires for vtec activation and pin them into the ecu clips..knock sensor,2nd o2 sensor,Vtec oil pressure,and Vtec solenoid..
Remove the dust rings from inside the crx hubs to prevent axle binding..
For axles you can use any b-series on the passenger side ,,but on driver side you have to match the axle to halfshaft..And with the 1g b16 halfshaft you have to custom make an axle using 87-89 axle and 90-93 axle...Or simply convert the halfshaft to 90-93 integra and just use 90-93 integra to simplify your life..

Here is a vtec wiring schematic to help you out..Theres more **** ,just search for that..
