Just get a B16A it is easier to swap into the EH/EJ chasis. With a B18C1 you will have more wiring to do. But you do what you want not what I suggest. I only recommended The B16A cuz I just put one in my 92 hatch. It was by far the easiest swap I have ever done.

Either way if you want to do the B18C1 you'll need the following:

Motor
Tranny
Ecu (P72) OBD I
Shift linkage (from any Integra '94-'01)
Axles (same as above)
Mounts (same a above)
Soldering gun
Heat shrink tube
Wire strippers/crimpers
Torque wrench 0-100 lb/ft
Ball joint breaker
Air tools with 32mm socket for the axle nuts
Hand tools mostly 10,12,14, and 17mm wrenches and sockets
Extra lengths of 18-22 guage wire
Pinout diagram from http://www.ff-squad.com
hammer
pry bar
some kind of long 1/4 inch diameter punch type thing for the shift linkage

I also recommend getting the "Honda Engine Swaps" book by Aaron Bonk. You can find this on any site that sells automotive books, or at Barnes and noble. I also recommend bagging and tagging your parts during disassembly. It will seem very tedious but will actually save time during re-assembly. Any questions?

ok so wiring IAB's is more work than a B16A by leaps and bounds?

you gain so much more torque and hp... ok...

No need to flame. I just simply RECOMMENDED a B16A. No it's not so much extra work. If the guy wants to put a ****** B18C1 then he will. It was a SUGGESTION?

um, i have no idea what eg6ls is talking about.
i've done both swaps, the b16 was jdm and it was more of a hassle.... but not anything extreme.

with my b18c into my vx it was simply swapping some wires around. OBD2 b18c in obd1 vx, piece o cake.

i think i took more time doing my rear disc conversion then the swap..

I only had to connect two extra wires total to make everything work right. My car is a '92 DX, the engine was a '95 SiR II. I also used the DX harness.
