Hey whats up man i got i 89 civic hatch dx with a b16a. You'll need the following for your swap:
1.You need to purchase a motor if you don't have one
2.You have to buy a motor mount kit if you motor didn't come with all the stock mounts and brackets. You can buy a motor mount kit from Placeracing,hasport to name a couple of companys that specialize in swaps. 3. Your car is multiport injection so you won't need resistor box so if anyone tells you 2 buy one say u already have one 4. You need axles from a 90 integra Ls 5 speed including the half shaft. 5. You also need a shift linkage i have heard of people cutting and welding interga linkages but its dosen't cost that much for a linkage from placeracing or hasport. 5. If your motor didn't come with the engine wiring harness you can use your harness i did you just have to get it rewired but it isn't that hard to do. Finally you can ultilize your stocks hubs the axles will fit right in no problems if your car was a Dx you would have to buy integra hubs/ brakes or Si hubs. Finally if your motor dosen't come with a rear mount bracket get it from the junk yard from a 1990 integra Ls. If your doing the swap yourself I can probaly get you the wiring diagram for your car from a friend of mine just throw me a e-mail if you have any more ?'s.
