And also, what does a front cut consist of? Does it have everything I need besides fluids?
Yes, a front cut will equip you with everything you need :)Quote:

Correct. Note that NOT all the mounts from the b16a2 (for the EK) will work for the EG.

So does that mean that some of them will work, and others wont?Quote:

...?
you can use all the same mounts in your EG except for the rear engine mounts, which u can either source from a DC2 integra or get custom made. The stock transmission mounts should be fine.
The next problem you will encounter is the ecu. the B16A2 has a OBDII harness whilst your car is a OBD1 car, therefore you will require a OBDII engine harness, these are more commonly sourced from DC2 Intergra, ITR included. It will plug directly to your motor and also plug into your stock civic chassis harness without any modification.
sorry for the double...
but thats why i said to you, a B16A or B16A1 transplant is much easier as it is a stright drop-in!
Ok, my head is a bit messed up. I was under the impression that the B16A/2 was going to be the easiest, hassle free job to be done???
And I thought that the B16A/1 and B16A would not work as my clutch is hydraulic and theres is cable?
as far as i know, all b-series motors have the same flywheel and pressure plates, pre 91 Bseries engines have a smaller input shaft then the newer engines therefore will require a different clutch disc. as long as you change this disc, you shouldn't have any problems.....Quote:

while you're at it, upgrade the ront brakes as they should come with the front-cut.....
Awesome, I assume both engines are pretty much the same? Which would you opt for and parts would be easily sourced I'm guessing?
i'd opt for the B16A2 as it has more HP B2=170hp vs B/1= 160HP.Quote:

as i mentioned, you will need to upgrade the ecu harness if you opt for the B16A2. Plus also you will need to upgrade the clutch disc as mentioned beforehand. Also, you will need new rear engine mounts for the A2 as well. Besides that.....you shouldn't encountered any problems.
being a honda, you won't have any problems whatsoever sourcing parts.
that should be the last of your worries...
