Default D16 to B16 Swap, help needed

First off, I am new here, so I am unsure if this is the right category. I have followed a few threads, and always come here, but never joined til today.

I am NOT the average speed freak you'll find on this forum looking for advice. I am into muscle cars, i got Ford tattooed on my back. Always driven mustangs, but had appreciation for a properly done Honda /Import. This is my FIRST honda/non Ford, so basically i only know what i've read online. I recently got a hold of a 1993 Civic EG hatch, that was an active participant on the Laguna Seca. It used to have a K series I believe. It is 100% gutted, and Rhino lined, nothing but 2 seats, a steering column, and pedals... oh and a 16 point roll cage

He took his motor out to drop into a new project. He sold it to me, with a D16y7 temporary motor and 5 speed. Car has no PS, A/C, Heater, Defroster, etc. I have a B18 (from a 96) lined up to drop into this car, as well as a B16 LSD transmission.

I need to know what else i need to buy? I know I need transmission mounts, the rear T bracket (Not sure what it's actually called), obd1 p72 ecu (is there any other ecu's that would work?), and I heard I need to buy new Axles (But i don't know what kind)

PLEASE, help me out and give me a shopping list? I don't need to hear about upgrading the brakes or suspension, or anything else... it's all already done. Just need help with what I need to buy for the swap.

Thank you all in advanced!!!!

Buy gsr axles. They'll all fit the same. B16si/b18ls/gsr.

If you don't have axles I'm gonna assume you don't have an intermediate shaft either?...

Wire harness, get a gsr harness and save yourself the little bits of trouble. I would get a complete harness... Engine bay all the way to the ecu. That way you don't have to add in wires for the knock sensor and vtec if your civic isn't a si

Throttle cable; the single cam wont work but you can switch that out with the GSR throttle cable

Shift linkage; if you don't already have that.

Radiator hoses?

List of what you do have would help....

Thanks for the reply. Was looking at some new GSR axles online. I literally have nothing but the b18 engine, b16 tranny, and wiring harness and ecu from b18. Therefore i am looking at what else I am going to need.

Also, i know I need a P72 ecu, does it matter if the ecu is obd1 or obd2?

Shift linkage

Rear motor mount bracket (94-00 integra ONLY, 99-00 b16 will not work.)

Obd1 ecu would plug and play if you haven't switched out you chasis harness.

Axles from autozone(<lifetime warranty)

Top and bottom b16 radiator hose

Make sure that the motor mount by the timing belt will switch over without having to change the whole bracket on the motor and the one on the car.
