Get A B16a The JDM b16 has better cams from what I heard. Get the Shift linkages from Hasport, and get axles from a 90-93 integra. I'm not sure if you need the integra hubs or not, cause my hubs are stock on my crx and I have a b16. I think you will be good as long as your hatchback wasn't an 4 speed upon original motor/tranny that was in it. Also, If you need help with wiring, i can help you out, or I have plenty of sites that can guide you threw it.
