Default problems with B18C5 / EG Swap?

I just purchased a B18C5 (ITR) engine package from Street Imports to go into my 92 civic hatchback (5spd). I was just wondering what types of problems do you guys think i'll run into. If you guys could help me by posting a list of problems that may arise during this swap, and how I may fix them. This way i'll be prepared for the worst...if there is any problems. Mostly problems with the OBD is what confuses me. Do i need different harnesses, if so where do I find them. Thanks again guys

you should only need the jumper harness to run the ITR ecu

everything else is plug and play(besides running the extra wires for knock sensor, VTEC, etc)

IMO, you'd be better of getting a P28 chipped to run it, both would be about the same, but the OBD I computers have more tuning options, and it will plug right in.

You shouldnt have to run any extra wires b/c all 92 civics already came with the VTEC wiring harness

remember to put the rear motor mount in before the motor. if you forget to, it'll be a bitch to get it in if the motor is already dropped.

that's if you do it the floorjack method.
