B18A swap

ok heres what I know so far.....

You need motor mounts (azracemachine.com)
rear mount bracket from b16 civic (junkyard or hasport.com)
engine harness from the b18, don't use the civic one.
use a obd1 ecu from a 93 non-vtec integra
cable conversion kit for the tranny (hasport.com or be creative and make your own)
93 integra shift linkage, or cut and reweld yours to fit
and probably a few other little things


ARD Performance.com has alot of the items that i will need for the swap, Half shafts, ECU, Wiring Harnesses, Long Block, Head, Intake and Exaust Manifold.

What can i fit on the B18A block... The answer is ANY 'B' series
Head. If im going to use a turbo i can decrease the compression ratio to about 8.5:1 so i can use more boost so that the extra compression will not damage my head.
And by doing so you can use 7lbs of boost to 9lbs without any problems... (B18A has 10.5:1 or so) But If im not going to change the compression (leaving it stock) build up the bottom end of the ie. forged pistons, racing crank, forged titanium
conecting rods, Stage 3 clutch and 9lb flyheel. Now for the head; forged rods, rings, cams. That is only if im not going to change the compression.

Now for the Bottle, Port polish and shave the head, high dome pistons (increasing the compression

am i missing anything? and has anyone else done this?

Im a n00bie to the swapping of motors.

thanks ben
