Default B16A2 to JDM B18C

Hi all, my first post here, and just recently got the idea of doing a swap, and i also already have put in an order for my new engine, just have a few questions about this swap and any help is appreciated

i have a -92 del sol with b16a2, this is obd1
so, i´ve ordered a -96 spec JDM b18c, and i will receive engine, intake manifold, s80 gearbox.
everything else should fit from the b16 engine right?
I was told to use my p30 ecu and b16 distributor and keep it obd1, only install a chip into my p30 with p73 basemaps (the b18 is completely oem)
or could i use the p73 ecu if i use a ecu jumper? someone said it´s gonna be a problem with the harness since the p73 comes from a RHD car.

The seller asked me exactly what i need and here´s the list of what i was offered:
* <U>Engine</U>
* <U>Gearbox (s80 LSD)</U>
* Dizzy + leads
* Driveshafts
* Complete uncut engine loom
* ECU
* Shift linkage
* Exhaust manifold
* alternator
* <U>Intake manifold</U>
* All sensors

the <U>underlined parts are the ones i said i need </U>
can someone check the list and tell me if i need something else also please. i have to alter my order pretty fast if i need something so any quick input is really appreciated!

Thanks

A p30 will work, if you run a C5 or Aftermarket intake manifold without the extra butterfly's. Wiring harness is the same as well, you should use your B16 harness, but you will have to add the Secondary Butterfly connections to the ECU.

I'm not sure about mounts,IIRC the rear mount is differnt on the B18. Your linkages should be good to use as well.
