it an be converted to obd1 by switching to obd1 injectors, dizzy, and ecu...also you will have to hook up your MAP sensor by T fitting into a vaccum line and mounting it on the firewall because the obd0 TB does not have a mounting place. I mite have missed a couple minor things but overall that is it....oh and you can use your 94 dx wiring harness on the b18 motor as a deirect swap over...just plug and play....oh also you will need the VSS out of your current motor due to the fact that the older b18s have a cable driven speedo. The tranny I would recomend getting a Hydro to save yourself the trouble....also you will need 94 and B series teg mounts

you will not need to mod your harness at all...also you will want to buy a thermostat housing and fan switch from an obd1 B series because it is defferent I beleive...I know on my b16a I needed to swap it,...also the ecu and harness are all plug and play

ok so now i have all this what would be the benefit of converting it to obd1? i plan on turboing it out shortly after the swap. is it worth the money for a b18a1 block converted to obd-1 in a dx coupe?
