Get a cable/hydro conversion from Hasport. We just put one in my friends hatch, and they're not that hard to install and it makes it work just fine.

....now I need to figure out this wiring

is the a1 you are putting in obd0? If so you will need to adjust a little wiring but you should be able to use a obd1 distributor and some other things. i do not think you will need a jumper since your chassis is obd1..theres no jumper obd1 - obd0. Just get you an obd1 ls ecu

As far as the tranny, you can do a cable to hydro conversion or buy the swap, sell the cable tranny and buy a hydro one. Hydro LS trannies are much easier to come by than a cable ls...i should know, i;ve had to get 2 the past 3 months

well 1 tranny was for my fiance's car and another was in my cousins project car that we did the auto 5spd swap on but just looking for those, i found that cable ls trannies are hard to come by

I am not sure how the jumper would work... going to obd1 to an obdo motor...

the jumper, jumps the ecu to the harness.

ex: i have a 90 integra, i put an obd2 motor in (thinking it was obd1 lol). i jumped the harness ot the obd1 computer to run it all. we did have to block off a few vacum lines and 1 sensor. we used the obd1 injectors and we rewired the harness to hook to an obd1 dizzy.

maybe that helps you some but im not that good at helping on obd0 motors into newer cars. i do have a obd0 motor sittin in the garage so i know i will be looking into that in the future

i have a b18a1 in my 92 hatch, trust me just buy the obd1 dist. YOU WILL HAVE TROUBLE with the drivers side motor mount. this part is called the engine post mount if i am correct: you need one from an obd1 integra. just sell the cable trans and get a hydro one, with all the extra work and price of the cable to hydro it will not be worth it. i used all DA (pre 94 axles, half shaft) with no changes to the suspension. you will also have a problem with the throttle cable unless you run a obd1 intake manifold or make a throttle cable holder. do not forget to use the integra shift linkage. good luck man
