u will need new mounts and i suggest u go with hasport mounts. and u will need 94 and up acura integra axles..and shift linkage..and it depends on how complete your b16 or b18 swap is. u might need some minor parts.
a decent b16a complete swap is around $2000~$2500 and b18c gsr swap is around $2500~$3000..CTR and ITR are over $4000 and up
and as intallation wise.if u have not done this before and dont have basic mechanic knowledge. i suggest u have someone do it for u. the labor will be around $500~$900.
i have done a couple swaps and the recent swap is done with a buddy of mine at my home garage with hand tools and took me 2 days total of 16 hours to finish the swap and took me 2 hours every day for 5 days to put back every little parts and get it running.

 

FAQ

 

hey thnks alot that helps. ok so the b16 engine is what im trying to do. i can get one for about 900 bucks . it comes with headers intake and short shift. oh and trany. lol what do you think complete would be? oh and can i re use my wire harnes or i have to get a new one and a new ecu..

 

And for shift linkage, you can only use the del sol vtec shift linkage. No other b series linkage will work for that particular car.

EDIT: In response to your question, you should use the correct ecu for the motor you are buying. Also, when I did my b16 swap I reused my d16 harness.
