Default JDM B18C SWAP

So i have a 97 Integra GS and i知 going to swap a JDM 96 B18C type r engine into it. I know i can reuse some of my stock b18b1 parts but what other parts will i need to purchase for the rest of the build?

What B18B parts do you think you can use on the JDM B18C Spec R ?

Really depends on what all the swap comes with. Should be able to reuse your engine mounts (except the AC bracket). You値l need a different engine harness and ecu. Intake may work - typically the ITRs were a touch larger, header is the same (will bolt up but may not be optimal depending on what you池e running). Distributor, intake manifold, power steering are all different. Alternator should be a touch different (mainly the pulley size).

Though I swapped in a B18c1 block and head, you can use an existing GS/LS harness and just buy a sub-harness that has the VTEC and knock sensor wiring with the new ECU. I am running a skunk2 ITR style manifold and most if not all the LS/GS wiring harness worked as is minus the VTEC associated stuff I mentioned.

Existing power steering pump should work, but you'll need the correct upper and lower brackets too. I reused my original alternator, but I was also running a GSR crank pulley so I am unsure of the belt lengths.
