well you will either need to learn how to rewire or get the adapter.
Second full swap with axles and engine wiring harness.
Third mounts and new shift linkage
Fourth Some know how!
<--b18a being built and going to be in a 91 civic hb std!

Take everything you can, incuding everything attached to the engine and transaxle, along with the axles, engine harness, computer, etc.

wtf are you guys talking about? You need the engine, tranny, ecu, axles and aftermarket mounts. Use your stock Si harness on the b18, and plug in the ecu. You will need to modify the b18 shiftlinkage by adding in approx 6 inches. You will have to bash down the lip on the rear subframe so the mount clears, and you will also have to dent the frame so the alternator pulley clears. If you get a 3 mount kit, you'll have to flatten out the front mount, or cut it off. A 4 mount kit will bolt right in.

the guy was saying he doesn't wanna give up the axles, or at least not yet. cause he doesn't want it to not be rollable. are axles expensive?
