ok so i plan on getting this http://www.hmotorsonline.com/shop/sc2000search.cgi?what=page&item=30009... i know i gotta rip out my old wiring harness and put the one that comes with it in so heres 2 questions and 1 request
1. how hard is it to swap the harness, do i gotta take the whole dash out?
2. will the stock mounts that come on that motor/tranny drop right into my 91 teggy and work,seeing how the tranny that comes with it is a hydro tranny?
req. someone please link me to the cable car to hydro tranny kit!!!

my car is a 91 integra ls with a 5spd cable tranny thanks for the help!!! i appreciate it :)

i have.... most people are swapping them into cars that already are setup for hydro trannies.... and NO ONE says anything about swapping the harness... they only talk about adding wires for the vtec... i think its easier just to swap the harness so it will be obd1-2 instead of obd0 ... i want the obd1-2! curious on the harness swap and the hydro tranny if the gsr mounts fit on the 91.... ive been searching and alot of my questions are answered excpet these 3... so plz help!

you can use either the ls or b16 cable trans no need to go hydro unless you want to its a pain in the ass convo the harness can be spliced with you ls harnes main thing is wiring of the vtec solenoid use a jumper harness and a beefer set of mounts is a given other then that its a cake walk

Ok. Find yourself a YS1 trans(from the DB2) or try Golden Eagle's Cable to Hydro conversion kit(I think Hybrid Racing might have one as well).
Swapping a harness is way more work than you need to do. That's why no one talks about it, It's just wasted time and sweat. Not to mention a pain in the ass. The jumper harness is easy, you only have to change the clips on the distributor, connect the 4 wire o2 to the wires that come off the jumper, and connect the 4 wires that go to the head for the vtec and temp sensor.
Also, unless you put in a p72 you wont have the secondary butterflies of the GSR manifold working.
As far as the mounts go, just get a set of B series mounts from Hasport.
Keep in mind that you'll need a traction bar to replace the cross member on your G2 if you plan on running an exhaust header with runners larger than 2.25". If you do, you can get a traction bar with an adjustable front mount that should bolt to either a cable or a hydro trans
BTW, I learned all of that by searching here and Honda Tech before I ever put it into effect on my car.

alright i decided to do that i have few more questions
1. will the pr3 obd0 ecu for a b16 work with the b18? (both vtec) with the .2 litre size difference
2. will my Throttle body work "ok" on the skunk2 mani because i dont have $ to get mine bored out yet nor do i have the $ to buy a itr one (i cant even find a itr one that i think will work lol but i plan on eventually getting a itr tb when i get the more $ its just right now my tranny about to throw its wad and the clutch is acting weird)
3. what "jumper harness" are yall talking about and where do i buy one?

1.You'll have to chip it and get a GSR map for the AFR to be correct across the board.
2.The LS tb should bolt up.
3.Go to the web sites for Boomslang Fabrication or Rywire and you'll see. Make sure you order it based on the year motor you're dropping in and the year of the car.

I just adjusted my clutch cable and it seems that my tranny and clutch are just fine so ima use my tranny and get a stage2-3 clutch and lightweigt flywheel to compliment my motor swap... so if i get this http://rywire.com/store/9091-integra-b18c-p-77.html?osCsid=d74d24b84df39300b1ada73ff469a4e3 and this http://www.hmotorsonline.com/shop/sc2000search.cgi?what=page&item=30027 with the p72 ecu i should be good? and can i even use that intake with my car... is there enough room to clear the firewall?

You don't need a stage 2 or 3 clutch for a GSR motor. Lightened flywheel would be a plus though.
You need a chipped ECU unless you find a p72. You're looking for a p28, p06, or p30(there might be others that can be converted). Getting an ECU socketed is what you need to do, then just snap the Eprom chip into the socket. Just find a local shop to socket your ECU. I know of a few people who do it locally and in Va as well.
The Boomslang jumper includes the Vtec wiring(it's part of the 8 wires that come off the harness to go through the firewall into the engine bay).
You're lost because you're making this harder than it is.

so if i get the motor i linked with the p72 ecu and by the harness that i linked i should be straight? then it comes down to getting intake pipe to run to my stock air box

The GSR IM is going to pose a problem to you as far as the intake goes. The stock rubber tube might flex enough for you. If worse comes to worst you can always find a shop that does mandrel bending and have them bend you a tube for your intake. You can try a Password JDM power chamber or just get a SRI like Dylan said.

Just pick up a YS1 that doesn't have any grinds. It could be that you need to work on how you shift though.
