Default going b18b into an 88 crx hf

ok, can anyone who has done this swap before, warn me of any problems, and what tranny should i use? Down the road, i want to turbo it. From my searching i have found that i'll need the b18b out of a 92-93 teg? yes no? and axles out of a 91-93 teg? Also, what ecu should i use?
thanks

use any cable b series tranny. i'm using a b16 Y1 tranny. use the axles and intermediate shaft from the 90-91 tegs. it would be easiest to get OBD0 electronics (injectors, ecu, distributor) so you can use your existing wire harness.

it's so straight forward..
no wiring mods needed...
just get a bolt in kit for b series...
you can use any LS longblock as long as you use 90-91 dist, ecu and axles....
if you're going to go turbo use a 90-93 LS tranny....
edit: for Hf you need to change your hubs to dx or si hubs....
