It all counts on what came with the motor.
You will use:
CRX Si wiring harness
Custom Motor Mounts
Custom Shift Linkage
90-93 Integra axles
obd0 pr4 ecu (you can use the CRX's pm6 but why)
When installing the B18a motor you need to beat in part of the engine bay where the altenator rests. The inside of the Si hubs have dust caps, remember to remove those, other wise the axles will not fit correctly. I usually just use cut to fit radiator hoses. Everything that came off of the B18a motor is fine stock. Your exhaust may or may not fit up to the header, some have this problem, some dont.
Someone else please chime in if I forgot anything.

the wirine harness will work
and yes u do need a half shaft
it is a stabilizer shaft thes goes into the tranny bolts to the block and the drivers side axle pops into
the monunts u have will work the shock tower needs to be hammered in about a quarter inch deep and about 2 inches wide and 2 inches hi
u also need integra linkage and have to shorten it by 1and 3/8ths of a inch
and the rear cross member where the rear mount is u will need to take a hammer and pound the lip down about 3 and a half inches to get the rear t bracket to bolt in with out rubbing
so good luck and pm me if u need any info i jsut put a b18 in a ef hatch

I am doing a very simular swap b18b into an 88 CRX DX and i am getting all my parts together to do the swap and i hear everybody saying to use the Si Harness, but i have a DX harness and a b18b LS harness. Does this mean i have to buy and SI or hasport harness or can i do something with what i got? Also do i use the LS ECU?

yeah i know its been a while since my last post. but i had a run of bad luck and was out of work for 5 months. but now i am back to work and i am now trying to get at lest the swap done before the beginning of summer. i have to figure out this hose problem, install the half shaft and driver side axle and relocate my battery. hey what size wire did you use to relocate your battery?
i was looking at your wire tuck thread about a month ago and just had to try it. so i did the passenger side last week. its not as easy as your pics make it look, there is a lot of time involved.
i tried using the stock upper radiator hose of the teg ls but all it did was kink. i also tried using a bend and cut to fit hose but it kinked also. i didn't know if there was a web site i could go on an get it or what.

There is a white sticker on it. The middle three numbers are what differenciates them.
