A friend of mine has a brand new b16 rebuilt that he wants to put in my car . As far as I know with this swap, it's very very time taking and you have to upgrade a lot of stuff.
Do you guys happen to know where I can find all the bits and pieces for this swap, such as, motor mounts, axles all that stuff. I don't really know what all I would need.

check out the wiki link up top as for everything you'll need... wiring diagrams and pretty much most of the answers you need...
Also is your car fuel injected? that's a whole other task all together...
just read your profile, it's a DX, you'll need to swap to fuel injected... or you can do a surge tank like most people do, if you're running a stock B16 i think the stock fuel lines should be sufficient... and if you got as much money as your Screen Name implies (j/k) than this swap should be no issue aside from taking some time and patience... hahaha
another option could be to post in the WTB section, and let people know you're looking for mounts, axles, and integra hubs... the thing about the integra stuff is, it's usually easier to just find a donor car, and strip it of larger hubs, get some rear disk brakes, the fuel injected components, and converting that wire harness would be ten times easier as there are writeups on it... off the top of my head can't think of anything else i did on my conversion that wasn't just me being picky about upgrades...

I was thinking, by adding a weber carb, swapping to si head, changing pistons boring and stroking the head, adding 2.5 in magnaflow exhaust, be better and cheaper than swapping for a b16?
