how is that he should alredy know what he needs for most b swaps like mounts, linkage and so on im just stating the fact its a easy swap becouse you can swap in a obd 2 engine in his car that is obd2 and do little wireing insted of a a1 witch would involve a conversion.

I guess I can break it down for you.

-Engine mounts are not needed. An appropriate 2-post side engine mount bracket, rear transmission mount bracket and torque mount brackets are all that is needed.

-Depending on what exhaust manifold is being used, extending the O2 sensor connector is not needed.

-On a manual transmission EX, an IACV fix is not needed.

-The use of a 10-pin B18B1 distributor makes changing distributor plugs unnecessary.

-He needs an OBD2A ECU from a '96-'99 B18B1 Integra to 'keep it easy', not a '94-'01.

Because B and D engine mounts are the same in a 6th gen Civic.

I can understand the lack of information since i don't feel the need to put in the effort beyond telling someone to Google a common swap. i am not sure where you see the misinformation.

I believe you forgot your sarcasm tags.

Thanks Waffles all i was trying to state was a b1 is a cleaner swap then a A1 because of the computer differences, less wiring!! i dont see the need get into detail about anything other then that.

Then just say that. Don't go into details about stuff that isn't needed.
