I have a blow motor in my 97 ex and a free b18b1 with tranny, ecu and all other parts. It was dropped out of a totaled car. What parts will I need to mount it up and how do I rewire the car right? Are there any companies who see the converted wiring? I have never done a vtec to non-vtec before so all help please. I need to order all the parts right away to get back on the road fast.
 
You need:
Integra axles
Integra shift linkage
99-00 civic si upper driver side mount
99-00 civic rear t-bracket
Integra ECU, p75
 
Ok have all of that. What else? Do I need to buy one of these motor mount kits like hasport or avid racing sells?
 
Ok I have those parts. How about one of these motor mount kits from hasport or avid racing? Do you need these or what are they for?
 
Also how do I know if this is an OBD1 or OBD2 b18b1? It has a p75-a01 ecu any help please with pics if possible.
 
That is my problem I do not know what year car it was. It was planned to go into my 92 civic and it never mattered for that swap. I know it has a y80 trans and p75 ecu and b18b1 on the block. Is there anyway to tell other than that if it is a 1 or 2? The reason I want to know this is so I don't waist money on an OBD2a to OBD1 ECU Conversion Harness. I want to order all swap parts today to get them in the mail so I can do this fast. Also would the avid racing or hasport motor mount kit make it easier to mount this engine in my 97 civic?

Part I already have.
axles
shift linkage
ecu, p75-a01
 
ok for direct plug in play u will need to transfer some stuff from the singlecam such as ivac valve, also u need 90 non abs integra axles with a dc2 midshaft, any bseires shift linkage, aslo u will need the 99-00 si rear bracket,top tranny mount,any bseires lower tranny mount,and 99-00 si timming mount on the engine, any bseires ac bracket will work but u wont b able to use your single cam ac compresser, also u will need a dizzy for your year car ex: 97 civic u will need a 96-98 integra dizzy and it will plug in will no problems even though your car has a vtec harness, u can also use a 98 ls ecu if u want to keep it obd2, u will need the upper and lower radiator hoses out of a 90-01 integra, cause the single cams hoses will not work with the ls. but u can use a jumper harness with a chipped dx or ls ecu an u will b ok, lmk cause i did the swap in my 98 ex, but know i have a gsr now, one last thing if u want to keep your ac u will need a delsol ac bracket an u can use your single can ac compresser to keep ac in your car
 
Please post pics. So even with the mount kit sold by hasport you still need the
99-00 si rear bracket
99-00 top tranny mount
any bseires lower tranny mount
99-00 si timming mount on the engine
upper and lower radiator hoses 90-01 integra
90 non abs integra axles with a dc2 midshaft
delsol ac bracket

So don't use the ls wiring harness, use the civics one right? I thought you could use the one on the b18b1 and just plug it in? Is there a problem with doing the rywire obd2 to obd1 jumper? Will I still need all the parts above if I buy the mount kit from hasport?

What does the valve cover look like? If it's smooth and flat on top, it's a 96+ and OBD2. If it's got raised areas then it's pre-96, and it's OBD1.

Here's a pic of my OBD2 cover for reference:

You need:
Integra axles
Integra shift linkage
99-00 civic si upper driver side mount
99-00 civic rear t-bracket
Integra ECU, p75


what year axles and shift linkage? I have all the shafts out of the car it was pulled from. I think it was a 94 or 95.

just use your civic harness and injectors and iavc valve and a 96-98 integra ls dizzy and it plugs in. u will also need to extend your 02 sensor cause the b seires o2 sensor is in the back of the header, also if u got a jumper harness u should use it, obd1 ecu any chipped po6,p75. dont get the hasport mounts its a waste of money.
 
So keep the stock wires but use the p75 ecu. What and who can chip it for me(the ecu)? Were can I buy the mounts for the engine as you say don't buy the hasport kit.

do you have a link to buy the
iavc valve
96-98 integra ls dizzy
obd1 ecu any chipped po6,p75
