Parts needed for a JDM B18C GSR swap
Hello everyone,
Just got me a JDM B18C motor; I was wondering what parts i would need to purchase to do a swap into a 92 4dr teg. The motor is obd2, I believe and is equipped with the hydro-tranny. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Is there a link or a website that will tell me ALL parts needed for the swap? I dont want to buy new parts if I could reuse from the old B18A1.
I've been told that i could use and is recommended to swap over to the JDM B18C engine due to the difference in obd system; the following from the old motor could be use:
-axles
-engine harness
-injectors
-distributor
-obtained USDM B18C1 ecu
-motor mounts????? not sure about this due to the difference in transmission; my new motor is hydro (may need a hydro>cable kit)
-shift linkage
-radiator
Please list out what new parts i need to purchase.
Please correct me if if I'm wrong or PLEASE add to the list. This is my first solo-swap and I want to make sure I have EVERYTHING before I begin. Thanks in advance.

honestly for that much wrenchtime and cash, i'd trade in that 4dr and but a newer GSR. it'd end up being cheaper. then just use the cash you saved to convert to JDM if you so please

On the distributor you have to chop off the leg. Because it won't fit properly or if you don't want to do that you can buy a 92-93 OBD-1 GSR distributor. Make sure to buy engine oil, transmission oil, radiator fluid,
