Default Last minute questions...engine swap

The car- 1993 Integra LS (OBD-I) 5spd.

The motor- OBD-I B16A2 block, 94-95 OBD-I B18C head (WITH dual stage mani)

The motor is coming OUT this weekend probably, but Id like to get any potential problems out in the open now.

Things I know-
-Wiring is going to be a pain, but not all that hard (got any tips? go for it.)
-I need a 94+ GSR throttle cable (or is it just a 94+ integra, GSR not withstanding)
-I need a P72 OBD-I ECU.

Things I dont know
-what intake can fit on this engine/car combo with stock battery placement.
-Are knock sensors different after a certain year? (I.E. do they have two wires after '98?)
-My axles....they WILL fit, correct? (second guessing myself on this one )
-what RPM should VTEC/seondaries be set at with a hondata. Does the cylinder filling properties of a high R/S ratio motor change the optimum engagement RPM for either?

THANKS everyone!

As for engagement points of the VTEC and manifold, It depends on all engine mods. I'd start with stock points when starting your base map. "Or, if you'd like, have us do it. We specialize in Hondata "

Knock sensor is still just one wire, even on 98-newer.

Axles will fit fine. I presume you're using the existing trans since there was no mention of replacing it.

Anything else, just let us know...
Or PM me...

intake; i bet there is some that fit, but why dont you make your own?
knock sensors are the same, but if you have hondata you can disable it.it doesnt help anyways
axles will fit.
vtec and iab's stock at; vtec=4400 and iab's at 5750

sohc intake will fit - doesnt look too cool but
knock sensor wire is a one wire - 4 sure
if you use stock trans - fittment same
best deal would be to tune the car ( car will react diff do to the gear ratio ) but it would be best to start with factory settings -

funny you mention that....I was planning on going to you guys to get it tuned.

I have all the basic "bolt ons" im going to put on the car, so I might as well tune, tune, tune!

I guess ill have to fab something up for an intake. Its going to look ghetto...no laughing.
