    Some wiring because it's right-hand drive and maybe the hose and wiring for the map sensor (depends on which motor you have, some are like the USDM, others not). Mounts, some you can use but I'd get new ones anyway. Rear mount and bracket you need to change as a d one won't work with the b. Of course the axles. The connector may need to be changed as they are a different shape (switch the wires to your USDM connector on the engine harness wiring only). Depending on the ECU used you might have to wire in a knock sensor as JDM motors don't have one because of the octane used over there (100+ Ron vers 92 Ron here). That's about all I can think of at this time (I put a JDM motor in my son's car).

    It would probably be easiest to make an adapter plate that fastens to the sol rails and make some holes to bolt the crx seats to.
