Hi guys I currently have a 95 EK4 SiR in need of a new engine so i bought a low mileage bare B18 removed from 1996 JDM Integra Type R. Im finding it difficult to figure out what i can keep from my current engine and what needs replacing.So far I have picked up a complete DC2 intake manifold.

Am i right in thinking all i need is
-P73 ECU from a JDM DC2
-Exhaust manifold

Is everything else plug and play like my distributor, leads, flywheel etc? Is there anything else im overlooking? Am i missing a mount or will my EK4 mounts work.

Thanks in advance guys, ive been away from the honda scene for a long time , im really looking forward to getting my own back on the road.

I think you're all covered. What exhaust manifold do you have?
 
Yup all B series mounts will work :) a lot of interchangeable parts thankfully!

Thanks for the reply that really helps me out, i dont currently have an exhaust manifold, i know it might go against the grain but id like to get an OEM 98 spec manifold with heat shields if possible, but i have seen a few nice Skunk manifolds for sale too. Is there one you would recommend yourself?

Oem manifold would do the job I believe they're well rated unless I'm mixing up. Using tegiwa one myself and had no issues, replica of toda one which is highly rated and good gains
