Default b18b1 swap questions

im looking into purchasing a b18b1 swap relatively soon and am wondering how i convert my ecu to obd 1, im considering buying a P28 ecu and having that tunes but will my car pass inspection(NJ) running an obd 1 ecu? , Also im going to be buying a b16 tranny to go along with the motor, will my stock axles work with that?

i know im a noob but ive seen some people go back and forth on what im asking so im wondering whats really gonna work for me.

also if the b18b1 does not come with a engine wiring harness or ecu whats the best combo of those 2 to buy as in what ecu would you recommend and im guessing just a stock b18 ls harness will work? thank you for helping me out

Hello,

You are not giving enough information, First post about:

What car is it going into ?
What year ?
What trim ?
What engine is in it right now ?


--------

After you answer those it will be much easier for us to help you .

PS if you have a D series motor right now, You will need axles from a B series Car ( integra , civic Si )

Is the HX starting off as a 5-speed manual, or dreaded CVT auto?

If it's an auto you're screwed. The topside transmission bracket welded to the frame is completely different on the auto model, and thus would need to be cut off and the manual version welded on before you can do a B swap.
