Almost have enough to do swap, but a few ?'s
Ok Im getting close to be able to the swap I have been eagerly waiting for. I have a b-18A and I just picked up a 94GSR Trans. yesterday.
1. I have axles from the B-18 purchase that are from a 90 Integra LS, would they work or do I need to get new ones.
2. I plan on converting it to a V-tec motor when I do, do I need a new ECU and would my current one work which is a 94 D16 V-tec engine?
3. Can I modify the harness in the car or do I need a new one?
4. The linkage needs to come from the exact same trans. or no?
5. Anything else I can use off my current car?
6. could someone point me in a good direction for a how to guide for this.
*anyother helpful tips would be appreciated
Sorry for the noob questions I just got into this scene. Thanks for the info. as usual guys.

I do believe your axles will work. B series axles are b series axles right?
As for vtec I'm not entirely sure. From what I've read its better to get a chipped p28 and get it tuned.
If you have the harness from the b18 just plug it in at the shock tower.
Use the b series linkage
If you wanna keep your A/C from your D series then you need a Del sol vtec AC bracket or a CRV AC bracket. Otherwise, use the b series compressor and custom make lines

1. Axles will work.
2. You will want a new ECU for the B18A AND whatever vtec head you put on it to run optimally. Your best bet if you don't want to use 3 different ECUs is probably chipped P28.
3. Depends on your car. 99-00, for example, you can't easily swap the harness, so it's easier to mod it. Others are easily swappable at the shock tower. Modding the harness is not that hard though.
4. Not sure, but I know you need a B-series linkage, and I know the 99-00 SI will work. I'm not sure about others.
5. you'll reuse most of your engine mount, your transmission mount, and your torque mounts. If you want to keep your AC you can, but you need a bracket from a 96-01 CRV, 99-00 Si, or a delsol vtec.
6. see my sig for a general B18 swap overview. Yours will be a bit different depending on year and trim level. There are other howtos all around h-t as well - check the FAQ's sticky.
