B18C5 Swap in DA

Going to be swaping a JDM B18C5 in my 92' DA GSR.
Before I start, anyone have any advice of any unexpected issues that may come up?

yea, that front suspension is a bitch to work with. I have a itr in a da. I rather work on a dc any day. Also take the rad out first. Trust me. Other then that its half okay.

I helped a buddy do this swap, it was pretty straight forward, and yes just as the guy above said remove the rad...and don't foget to replace belts and pumps on the motor before the swap like we did
