Project: B18B-T swap
What I already have:
D16A9 non-vtec (a.k.a DOHC ZC) that is OBD-1. Already has turbo setup @8psi
Chipped P29 ecu
My questions:
1) Since B18b is non-vtec, would my ECU and harness work on b18b motor?
IF b18b is OBD-0, would the dizzy be the only part to change?
2) What kind of engine mounts would i need to install into EG hatch? I'm guessing
B-series, like B16a.
My plan is to build B18b engine for turbo before installing.
Using GSR LSD tranny.
I'm seeing many 200+whp figures on this forum with LS motors..
Thanks for anyone willing to help me with these questions.

So far I've double checked my Acura/Honda ECU and Engine codes
Integra 1990-1991 B18A
1994-2001 B18B
this means B18B motor wasn't introduced prior to 1994.
Most likely their are no OBD-0 B18B motors
Another forum member mentioned that my ECU and harness should work.
Crome all the way!!!!!

90-91 b18a obd0
92-93 b18a1 obd1
94-95 b18b obd1
ect..
For the engine mounts you need 94+ [b18b] integra mounts.
You'll need the top billet aluminum one, both torque mounts a/c bracket and tranny, Rear T Mount [probably still on the b18b engine. Any other mounts your d16 shares.
So basically you just use a combo of the 94 integra mounts and what you have holding your d16 in place.
Your engine harness, you should be able to use the one off your 1.6. I have had a couple ls's using d16z6, ls, and gsr harnesses, in automatic and manual.
I have also used about 4 different 'dizzys' on my LS from gsr's, ls's, d15s, d16s, ect.. You may only be able to use the top bolt mount because the other leg mounts holes don't line up but it works just fine using only 1 bolt to hold it on.
Installing a b series in a 5 gen is pretty strait forward. Ive done this several times and own a 5th gen coupe with a swapped b18a1 turbocharged. If I can help you with anything just let me know.
