Putting a JDM B18C into a Domestic 96 D4 Acura

[Jonitto]

Good day Everyone. My name is Jonathan and I am very happy to have been let into this community and to have access to the vast pool of knowledge/ insights it has to offer. I recently bought my wife "the car of her dreams" from when she was younger. A Honda Integra. We are both in our 40's, have the money, time and space to "Pimp out her ride" and want to do it right. It is a very clean '96 two-door LS manual. (a unicorn in Canada). We purchased it from the original owner, a 70 year old man who took very good care of it. I have contacted a JDM engine dealer in Montreal and plan to purchase a B18C ITR with the M80 LSD. Yes, there are probably better cheaper/ more powerful swaps, but like I said, this is a bonding experience between my wife and I as she has always wanted to work on a car and I want it to be as "plug and play" as possible. I am certain this has been done a hundred times over, and would love to gather as many tips and tricks as possible from others mistakes. I am an Aircraft AME, but the car Mod world is all new to me so any input will be greatly appreciated!

Good Luck! Is there a reason the side mirrors are black? IIRC only the RS models had black side mirrors

I was confused about these as well. I am in canada, the mirros are indeed black, but the car handles are body color painted. It has electric mirrors, cruise control, and a spoiler... VIN is D4....
