the b16a2 is obd2. you can use the ecu that comes w/ the a2 swap or you can use a reprogrammed p28 or p30 ecu(can also use pr3 and a few others).

B16A1 will work in your car. You will need a conversion harness to convert your obd2 plugs to obd1 to use your obd1 ecu

Get the VTEC swap. Use your Civic harness on the motor, and just get a OBD2a to OBD1 Conversion harness if the ECU is OBD1

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by leesi &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">anything major</TD></TR></TABLE>Not unless your swap is JDM. Then you will have 2 choices.

1. Exercise your soldering skill and patience as you extend and shorten wires on the engine harness for 4-8 hours, or...

2. Send your JDM harness out to hasport, wait a few days or a week whatever it is and spend, what is it like $150 on something you could do yourself for under $20.

Now if you get an OBD that varies from your vehicle as mentioned an adapter harness or two will be all you will need to do. Now if the ODB systems match, the **** should be pretty much plug and play. You'll just need a rear mount bracket from the 99-00 si if the swap didn't come with it. They are like $50 at the dealer..

I don't think so.

In the US we had the b16a3 in the del sol and the b16a2 in the 99-00 si. The JDM one is just called a b16a.

Just to add a note, a ton of people call 92-95 JDM B16s B16A2 because it is second gen. The only B16s that have any numbers after the B16A are USDM spec. engines.
