questions on 4th gen cars

[jkbrand]

Before anyone flames me for not searching, I DID!! I'm not sure if there are archived files on this site, but if there are, maybe someone could tell me where they are. I couldn't find 'em.....

1. For items ahead of the windshield, are parts (springs, shocks, fenders, bumpers, lights et al.) different for an HB SI and CRX SI? (My guess is that there is none, but it's only a guess and I'd like to get the authoritative word.)

2. The engine-swap-table sticky offers 1,2,3 for ease of transplant. It shows 2/3 for B18C. Can someone point me to a write-up that shows what's involved here to make it a 3??? (car modification req'd)

3. Finally, I'm aware of wiring harnesses available for converting OBD1-OBD2 and OBD0-OBD1, and I know about the preference to use OBD1, but what're the wiring issues and ECU requirements to get an existing OBD2 GSR motor to work in our Gen 4 cars?

Thanks!
Jeff

The head lights are the same. Its the brackets that hold them that are different. And the corner lights are different.

springs and shocks are also interchangable with 90-93 integras

yeah but the brackets are easily moddable... remember my CRX headlights in my EX? still look stock, nobody can tell the difference.

I did it on a dare... somebody from that "other" board dared me to try it b/c they had a sedan and was about to buy projectors.

I was very surprised when I slapped my corner lens on there and after re-bending the part of the bracket that the screw goes into it looked stock...
