B16A Swap whats needed for my app...
ok, heres the deal....
Droppin a 00' b16a in a 99' civic ex. what shift linkages will i need. can i use any integra linkage or does it have to be GSR? I know Si linkage will work, but i can easily get some teg LS linkage.
Also what mounts can i use from my car and what mounts do i need to get?
And lastly, i have the correct OBD2 ECU for the motor, but i heard i have to wire in a knock sensor or somthing like that? do i need to or will it just plug and play since i have the right ecu? the wire harness is the b16 wireharness its all attached to the motor.
thanks techies, feel free to give any other advice for this swap. its going down this weekend. thanks again guys.

That swap should be straight plug n play. You can use any B series linkage. You use B series mounts, except the driver side mount where you use your stock one, and an Si rear mount. The ECM will plug right in. The EX has a knock sensor, so you don't need to run any wires. If you have a P2T ECM, then it should plug right in. You may have to extend some plugs, but that should be the extent of your wiring needs.
