Default Swap questions

I am getting ready to put an LS motor together and have a few questions.
It will be going into a '91 hatch.

1. Can I use the B&M short shifter that is in there now with the stock mootor or do I need to buy a different one?

2. If I were to buy the motor that spoon_integra had it is a '93 block with '98 head wich obd wiring harness jump kit thing do I need to get to wire it in my car, and I have a good job so no ghetto rigging is necessary.

3. I know I need 90-91 Integra axles, but is there anything I need to do to the axles to make them fit. Also, I will be going turbo, hopefully by end of the summer, does anyone have experience with which axles work the best. The stage two axles from driveshaft.com seem pretty good. But experience is better than pictures.

4. Do I need to put bigger brakes on the front, if so which ones?

I have basic mechanical ability, and my father has been a mechanic and Mopar gear head about 30 years and he is more than willing to help.
Please answere if you have experience or post a reputable web site, if you know of one. I don't need the usual bullshit that goes along with the anyone that is new to the scene and asks a question. If you don't have an answere to one or any let the post go untouched. Not trying to be a dick just want answeres not drama or hassles, I have to much of that shit already.

And yes I have a helms manual for my car and I read everything I can in magaazines and on the net before I ask a question, it's just that I have heard conflicting answers to the questions I am asking.

Thanx,
ZACH

alright, your gunna have to convert your harness to multipoint injection too, and do the knuckle and hub swap. i believe you can use dx or si knuckles and hubs

I have done this swap a couple of times.

Hubs:
88-91 civic/crx dx or si hubs work, they are the same. If you want bigger front brakes you can swap the whole steering knuckle from a 90-91 ex.

wiring:
you will need to wire it over to multi point injection. The instructions I use are located at www.hybrid.honda-perf.org look for the dx to zc wiring article and follow it. As for wiring kit conversions you only need those if you want to run a 92+ ecu. If you run an ls motor just use the 90-91 ls ecu. To do this you will also want to have a spare multipoint engine harness laying around to cut plugs from.

shifter:
It depends on the shift linkage you use. If you use something like the hcp adjustable then you can reuse it, if you use the hasport or a modified integra one then you will need an integra shifter.
