Mods: 1998 b18b1 with stage 2 clutch and Limited Slip LS tranny
I just bought a 95 civic with a b18b swap. Everything was done before i bought it, its obd1 and has power steering, ac, and all that good stuff. the only thing wrong with it is the suspension. and the problem is i have to use it to deliver pizza every day. could someone tell me what exactly i should have for front suspension, such as bushings. thanks.

This is probably the wrong place for this question.
But the 5/6th gen stock suspension is pretty damn solid if you want long lasting no worry suspension without the head ache of camber kits and wheel rubbing etc etc.

Ok so the wiring thing is pretty much whats been keeping me from doing a swap into my ej8...
So if i get an OBD2 LS swap then the engine harness will plug right into the stock harness in the engine bay?? other than modifying those couple of things for the o2 sensor ect.

no, you'll use the harness that's already in your car. most of the plugs are in near the same location, with the exception of the few mentioned above that will just need to be extended. other than that, it's nearly a plug&play affair.

Ok got it, so ill use the Y8 harness and swap it over to the B18 motor and extend the few plugs that are short and its a done deal then?? Sounds alot easier then i was thinking.

yes, it's pretty easy. there's only 1 or 2 plugs that aren't the same between the harnesses, which isn't a big deal. then the extension of a couple wires, and you'll have your vtec solenoid plug left over.

It should be the same. The only difference between the D16Y8 and Y7 is that the Y8 has VTec and the plug for it. I work on 5th gens, so I do not know where the oil pressure sensor is, if it has one. If it does, reroute it if need be.

i can't speak to that as i've not done that swap. there's plenty of information here from people who have though, and it should be fairly easy.
