b18a1 swap in 96 hatch help
im putting a b18a1 that's from a 93 teg that obd1 into a 98 dx hatch. i have done a b series into an ek before so i know whats goin on and all haha but i need a lil help with a few things. i have searched alot and still need to clear some things up so any help would be sweet !
1. motor mounts- i have the kit that makes a b series work in a ek........ i know i have to use the rear T bracket from a si or i think a 94-00 teg but i need to know what upper tanny mount, and also what drivers side bracket to use the ones thats bolted to the block under the timing cover.
2. wiring- the wiring harness that is in the car is the stock dx one that has the different intake mani and the like vertical TB.... so none of the sensors plug in or reach.... i know i can splice and dice the plugs and make them longer to fit but i don't really want to do that so i wondering what other obd2a harness i could use? like a d16y8 one i think would be good then i wouldn't have to add anything. but im not sure what would be my best bet to get?
3. axels and half shaft- i read i could use 94-00 axels and half shaft but wanted to make sure. or any others i could use.
i could not find a how to or a parts list for this swap so i thought i would post a thread for some help so if anyone could help that would be great! so thanks ill prolly think of more things i need to ask so ill post up when i think of it. thanks

hey brent! whos car? also i think you can use the half shaft from a 90-93 integra and use the 90-93 integra axle for that side as well...also with the harness just hack it up and extend the wires...but make sure to solder , not just twist them, throw electric tape around it and call it a day that make me sad when i see this happen
