First of all.. search is your friend.

But I'll help ya a bit:

You need to use the Si computer, and convert to MPFI. Here's some instructions: http://www.4thgenerationcivic.com/ho...conversion.htm
Reuse your mounts, and your DX axles will work.

Why would it matter if you have a whole running 91 Si?? Why wouldnt you just use the axles from it if your going to be swapping the motor and trans?? I dont know if they will fit or not?? (the 88's that is) I thought that they would but I could be wrong? I know that it will fit in the hub I just dont know about it fitting into the tranny.
