Default b18c1 going into 99 Civic LX 4dr - need some help!

i just bought whole front from 2001 integra GSR. I am doing swap into my 4dr 99 Civic LX. The engine has 70,000 miles on it. it comes with everything: wiring harness, ecu, tranny, axles, mounts, linkage, throttle cable, steering pump, a/c, alternator, header, exaust. Can't ask for more for that price!

I am planning to change timing belt, water pump and tensioner since engine is not installed yet, it will be esier to do it now.

i have some questions:

1. i am going to use wiring harness which comes with the engine. Will it work on civic?

2. what mounts should i use? will integras mount will work or i need smth else? will GSR's rear upper mount will work?

3. is my civic OBDIIa? is the 01 GSR OBDIIb? since i am using GSR harness and ecu everything should be OK, right? should i worry about that?

i am sorry for asking probably same questions that were answered on this forum before. i searched but have't read anything about using GSR engine wiring harness or upper mount. I apricciate your help guys. Thanks

P.s. sorry for bad English. it is my second lanquage.

you can use your old exaust
it's going to be short so take it to a muffler shop, or do it yourself (if your handy).
use the gsr cat if u can.

Do you have the ecu? you may need an OBD1 GSR ECU, i don't think you can put Go obd1 to obd2 but i do know that there is a conversion harness that will allow you to go from obd2 to obd1. i'll find the site and get back to you!!
