Default B16 swap questions?

Which map do I use the one that came with the car or the one that came with the motor? Also I would like pics of a b16 swap so I can figure out where all the hoses run and stuff like that...I would like the pics at different angles to thanks in advance

I would also like to know what kind of oil do you use....I wont be able to crank it for another couple months but I drained the oil because I got bored one day and I heard if you leave an engine sitting with out oil it could do some damage. How much oil does it take to fill it up to?

r u talking about wiring, use the wiring harness that came with the car,
then use a sub harness for vtec selonid, oil pressure, knock sensor, o2,
then switch the ecu box thing,

um hoses, which hoses r u talking bout

use the one that came on the motor block your vacum hose and extend the map sensor wires from the crx firwall to the throttle body map.

you fill it up til the top dot on the dipstick

just think logically about your hoses and make sure theres nothing let without hoses on it.

you might want to do more research before you buy an engine in the future

I can't remember whether or not the headers have clearance issues with the front crossmemember on my 89si', or any crx in general?
I want to find out before the install.

Thanks!
Got the sub-harness and also found out that stock headers will clear the crossmember.
What headers don't fit and for future reference, does anyone know where I could acquire an aftermarket front crossmember?
