I remember you posting these types of easily-searchable questions.

P28 ecu - Buy one that has been ****ed with yet = virgin
dizzy = distributor, go to eBay or wherever and buy one
jumper harness = go on eBay or rywire.com and buy one. Also called a conversion harness.

Do you know what google is?

The ECU can come out of any car, as long as it is a P28. I would research how to tell which is an automatic ECU or not. I cant remember what letters/numbers afterwards means what. Converting an auto ecu to manual is pretty easy as well.

The p28s originally came in the 92-95 Civic EX/SI, and the 93-97 Del Sol Si. Anything that came with a D16z6 motor that is OBD1 will work for you.

I think it is a 4 cyl motor. Don't thread jack.

Research what you want from a motor and what the F20b provides. If it is what you want, then go for it. If not, find something else.

will be providing pictures very soon. just got a b20b for $525 a Si trans for $500 and a p28 currently chipped for a gsr motor for $165. Also will be loading a picture of the fat fives i got for $250 for a set of four wrapped in khumo tires. Currently trying to figure out the motor mount issue. a place near me will order motor mounts and linkage but will not return them if they are wrong. The linkage i researched and call will work. the motor mounts only come with the two torque something was not listening to the guy. Should i just scrap that plan and order innovative motor mounts and see if this palce will order them off the site and i pay for them?

Innovative or Hasport if you want aftermarket mounts. Hasport makes good ones. I personally hate Innovative for a few reasons.

Usually, you will see 5 mounts. Engine (driver side), transmission (passenger side), and rear mount (which is acutally a torque mount).

The other 2 are torque mounts under the car attached to the bottom side of the frame rails. The Hasport kit generally replaces the driver, passenger, and rear mount. The two lower torque mounts can be filled with urethane, replaced with something like Avid racing mounts, or you can use energy suspension inserts.

Energy suspension inserts will fill the 3 torque mounts. So that is the two under the frame rails, and the rear mount.

I plan on getting ES inserts for all three torque mounts on my Teg, and a Hasport driver mount. I already have a Hasport passenger mount as the car was converted from AT to MT, so it needs a special set-up which a previous owner already purchased.
