    Just completed this swap, not worth mentioning swap as im in a different country.

    I did a OBD1 B18c Swap and needed the following;
    -Bseries Engine
    -Cable Bseries Gearbox (I used S1)
    -Bseries Shifter (modify to length)
    -Swap Mounts (I used Billet Innovative ones)
    -Modify engine Loom for vtec
    -Bseries ECU
    -Modify exhaust flanges to match up to bigger bseries headers
    -DA6 or EF8/9 Driveshafts
    -DA front hubs and brakes
    -Bseries Power steering bump and pump fitting (can modify existing high pressure line to fit new pump, or replace the line with a Bseries DA one
    -Dent the chassis rail for alternator


    I also replaced the clutch, pressure plate, spiggot bearing, thrust bearing, water pump, cambelt, radiator hoses, crank seals, all fluids, brake rotors, brake pads etc etc so I could have done it much cheaper if I had done none of this, but there was no way I would do that
