i think the only thing that is different is the injector clips and distributor plug but you can just put a jumper to the ecu i have a obd1 h22 in my 2000 civic

yes all you need is what that guy said, but you could still get rejected when inspection time comes
now I see your in canada, and not sure how strict they are.

Re: Need some guidance!!!
the engine harness wont change. u have to use the engine harness that came with the motor. ur jumper harness is prob 12 inches long in kick panel of ur car plug it into ur car harness then attach ur ecu to it. i mean u might have to wire a few things up im really not all that sure. i dont put older motors in newer cars so i cant really help u with that.i do think u should be ok since its a B motor. alt plug will be diff i believe.
