B18 swap - help!!
Here's the sitch:
I have a Y2K teg with extensive body damage and solid drivetrain, automatic, no mods
I see an ad for a '90 teg with 326,000 km's (~200,000 miles) for sale, w/ 5spd manual, 4-2-1 header, Magnaflow exhaust
What I need to know is:
1) Will the 4-2-1 header from '90 B18 fit on my Y2K B18, or should I use the stock manifold from Y2K and will that hook up to Magnaflow?
2) Which OBD/ECU should I use? or does that depend on manifold/header?
3) I want to use the 5spd, but I want to do a flywheel/clutch mod, but they seem to only come as a set for 90-93 or 94-01, Can I use a 90-93 flywheel on Y2K B18? or use the 94-01 clutch on the '90 5spd? or do I have to buy both sets and have leftover parts? or is this even viable? ie: get 94-01 5spd?
***NOTE***
I live in a Redneck province in Canada and DO NOT need to pass any emissions to register my car so no need to worry about advice on that for answering my Q's
PS On a scale of 1-10, 10 being easiest, how hard is this swap overall? (my brother is an airplane mechanic and can fix anything!!)
