92 Civic SI HB Swap
Okay finally made up my mind. I want to go with a b18b1 motor with a turbo. Okay I now need any information on doing the swap. I am pretty knowledgeable with tools and working on my car so I just need any info on it. Also any places anyone knows to get the motor from would be appreciated.

I am also getting ready to do a B18B swap on my 92 Civic HB. I've actually had a little bit of trouble finding the engine because a lot of places only carry JDM motors. Any help would be great!

The junkyard is your friend when looking for a b18b. A complete swap normally runs about 1200 for EVERYTHING you need. And when you're buying that much shit from them, they tend to be helpful, and will give you little extras if you need them.
