you have to chip your ecu for it to work. you need b series mounts and you'll have to do something to get the header and exhaust to line up.

you dont need to cut weld or modify NOTHING as long as you have your b series mounts, halfshaft, axles and trans you are set. of course you will need a generator, and a started for B series. but to answer your question NO modifications to your engine bay is requred to do a b seires swap. and yes your p28 will work.

only if you're trying to put an lsvtec together. not if you're swapping one into your car.
