Take the big nut off at the end of the fuel rail. Place a rag under it cause gas will leak out and keep with with the washer. Then put fuel line back on the new motor. Done !!

you should probably get a new line, since that line is a high pressure line. Or build a new one.

Buy a new line for a '94 - '01 GS-R. You can cut the original civic line and use a double ended male barb and fuel injection style hose clamps to make up a line, but its going to look like **** and you have the possibility of it leaking.

Its always been said that the civic line doesn't line up properly on the integra fuel rail creating a lean mixture, but i've never actually tried it, anytime i've ever done a B-series swap we had the correct line for the engine so I never even really looked into it.

what i noticed is everything is the same except the civics has a groove on the inside of the metal parts, but the gsr's doesnt, i think thats because the gsr's fuel goes in at the beginning of the threads while the civics goes in right where it is bolted up if you know what im trying to say.

Thats more or less what I was getting at, it will create an extremely lean mixture, may or may not start and wont run right if it does start.
