Default AY TIPS FOR MY 1ST ENGINE SWAP WITH EBAY TURBO KIT

so im planning on doing a swap on my 2000 civic ex. when i bought it back in 2000 it was 1.6 sohc vtec AUTOMATIC. after a few years I went to a shop & they put an obd2 LS motor with b16 head in it & converted my trans to 5-speed with b16 tranny.

i also have a 94 integra with stock LS (obd1) motor.

now i picked up a 2000 SI long block & a ebay turbo kit which i want to put in my CIVIC COUPE & then take the ls vtec out of there to put in my stock integra, but of course that will be a lil later.

i need any help or tips cuz this is my 1st swap alone.... i have access to all tools, lifts, etc so no prob there. lemme kno things i should have ready, what parts i need, things i should printout, etc. thanks!

of course ebay kits r the bottom of alll turbos but

my integra is my daily, everyday, street races car & my coupe is just for car shows so i rarely drive nor care if the performance is that great. plus i have the turbo kit & dp already so idont wanna waste n e additional money.

& its technically not an ebay kit cuz i didnt buy it from ebay. i just consider all t3/t4 turbonetics as ebay

^oddness. post pics
and do 1........1 thing at a time...1 thing at a time....
i did like 234 things at once and got frustrated and lost.
stripping the car
painting the car
wire tucking
building the engine
getting turbo parts. .etc

its fun. take alot of pics. do everything right the first time. make sure 110% the engine is good running condition before you drop it in and...
why in the world would you put a b16 in a car with lsvtec. leave it be

use the head from the b16 and put it in the Ls integra...2 lsvtec setups..
my friend had a turbo setup on an lsvtec..man that thing has some powa

well i am only doing1 thing for now... thats... taking the ls vtec out the coupe (because it needs some work... it duznt run right) & since i have a mint b16..... id rather not put a b16 in my integra but the ls vtec. (also id rather just drop the ls vtec right in beacuse the current ls motor is beatttt & high mileage)

so i have all the parts i just wanna know what i need to do. i just wanna take out the ls vtec & put a b16 in. everything should just bolt on right because its b series?
