Don't ask Honda specific questions on this forum. If you want to know the answer to your question, go on Honda-Tech.com and look it up there using the SEARCH BAR or else you will get bashed just the same. Good luck!

ive look for hours for detailed information for a 89civic dx b18b swap and couldn't really find shit. i just don't know what to do when it comes to all that wiring and ecu shit. some please take the time to explain this swap to me in detail.

Ok here we go...
you will need integra cv shafts, you may need an integra throttle cable ( I did), are you going to run this thing obd0, or plan to go obd1??? Wirring into an 88-91 si car is easy, just four wires to mess with. 2 wires switched, and two added for vtec, your motor in an si car is a drop in affair. But since you have a dx, your life is about too suck. I dont know exactly how to do a mpfi swap, you need to add a resistor pack, and wire it to the main harness and all 4 injectors, add wirring for two more injectors, and god knows what else, if I was you I would just take an entire dash/ engine harness from a 88-91 si car. might be more work, but it's a much cleaner way to do it. I dunno, If I had more time i'd get into it, but I dont, you'll also have to bash your frame rail in to clear the alternator, and you should remove your front engine mount, cause it will get in your way.

good luck]
