- Sun Jun 26, 2011 6:37 pm #261081 As the title states, I'm at a loss for knowlege in doing a swap. I have a good motor/trans from a 1990 Acura integra and I'd like to drop it into my '93 VX in place of the current mini-me drivetrain.
What ECU will I need for it?
will I need to swap axels n all that jive too?
any and all help, advice and tips will be appreciated.

- Sun Jun 26, 2011 6:55 pm #261088 that tranny coming out of the DA is cable. you'll need a hydro-to-cable conversion mount to put it in your EG. you'll also need to convert it from OBD0 to OBD1

- Sun Jun 26, 2011 7:44 pm #261097 OBD-1 just has more wires and sensors then OBD-0 and OBD-2a/b has more than OBD-1. Basically it just tells you more of what's going on in the motor. So you need a OBD-1 ECU and a OBD-1 harness.

For mounts, you can use D series driver and passenger side mounts i believe but the rear mount has to be B-series due to being a different size.

Get the same axels from the car the motor belongs, so 1990 Integra axels.

If i am wrong on any of this, you guys can correct me, but i am pretty sure i am right.
