ok. your gonna need to swap over to MPFI, so you have to convert your DX harness to MPFI which means you are going to have to had a few plugs to the motor harness and engine bar harness. You'll also need motor mounts to swap in a b series. you can use your DX hubs but im not sure about the axles, as long as they are 26 spline they will be ok. You'll also have to either fab up linkage from your d and b series linkage or just buy a pre-made linkage. your gonna need a throttle cable from a 90-93 integra, or you have to fab up a TB cable bracket to make the D series work. To fit the rear mount you have to bang the lip down on the cross member in the back to back clearance for the mount, and you'll have to bang your frame back a bit on the driver side to make clearance for the alternator. Thats about it....if i missed anyhting im sure someone else will mention it. good luck!

So, I would need conversion harnesses, shift linkage, and new motor mounts? I know hasport has them, but is there another place to get a better set of mounts? I understand that I also have to bang out that area of the alternator, but what did you say about the banging of the lip part? The throttle cable from the Integra motor should work, right? If there's anything else, please post it up! Thanx!

hasports is the best. the lip right infront of the rear mount needs to be bent down. use a teg clutch and throttle cable.
use the teg fuel line from the filter to the motor. use hte teg axles, you just need to remove the dust cover on your hubs
