b18c1 into a 90 Integra LS
I totalled my car a few weeks ago. The motor and a few other parts are still good so I'm gonna buy the car back. I found a 90 LS with no motor for pretty cheap...how hard would a b18c1 swap into a DA be? What is required? I know I need to find a cable tranny, and also my friend told me I would need to use 90-93 teg axles. The motor just bolts right in with the GSR mounts correct? Is this a difficult swap or fairly easy. I've been looking for EG hatches but they're hard to come by with no motor. Let me know what you guys think or lemme hear your experiences, thanks.

I've got a b18c swap in my 93 teg and like you said everything does bolt up with no problems. Try to get a tranny from an Si since they have shorter gearing. If you have an after market header like DC it may actually sit on the cross-member and you'll have a tuff time getting the front tranny mount to fit correctly. We couldn't even get my mount to fit so we only used the other three. Also, if the exhaust is still on the LS than you might have to get an extra pipe fitted between the cat and the header, or cat and exhaust so that everything will reach each other. I don't think there will be a problem if you have an exhaust from/for a GSR though. Good luck.
