alright, no one answered my questions in my post in the hybrid forum, so ill try here.

so im thinkin of just getting a jdm gsr 96-98 motor from HMO, what all extra do i need in order to make it work. like ecu and stuff? other than that it should fit the same as a 00 motor right?

if you buy the complete swap from hmotors, all you should need is a bracket or two and thats it. it will come with motor, tranny, ecu, axels etc. you can get the brackets out of a 99-00 si.

i know that. what im worried about is the wiring/ecu. its JDM, and i believe OBD2a while my 00 ex is OBD2b. anyone have any information on this?

going to have to reuse your harness...since your is a EX no need to rewire for v tec...just use your p28 and get it chipped

You can get a conversion harness for it. OBD2b to OBD2a. There's a few places that sell them.

I have a JDM GSR OBD2 in my civic and I love it. I'm running the stock dual stage runners and I wired it up to the stock JDM GSR ECU. I recommend you leave the intake manifold stock if you want LOW to MID range power as far as wiring goes please do not chip or change the ECU while you have the stock GSR intake manifold because you will have a vtec lag .....I have a 98 ex wiring harness with a 3 clip setup for the JDM ECU I think USDM Box only has two 2 grey clips and a blue clip

For the basic info, do a search and you'll find everything you need, even step by step guides.

Also, I noticed your avatar. You must've jacked it, because my buddy has had it forever

aight thanks guys. oh, and bout my avatar, i got it from a friend who said he found it on some funny site bout jesus and ****, so i honestly dont know where its from, but does it even really matter?

ok, so if i get a OBD2b to OBD2a conversion harness, can i just use the JDM GSR ECU? and not have to mess with adding wires and stuff?

Your going to have a minor amount of wiring to do under the hood. Switching plugs, adding the wires for the 2stage intake, etc. I don't have a recommendation for any brand of harness, never used one.
