Default Putting a 89 b16a engine into a 99 civic

I plan on installing a obd0 b16a into my 99 civic and plan on using a p28 ecu and my obd2 engine harness. I already have a ecu obd2 to obd1 sub harness. I know that I need to put a CKF into the b16a bc it doesn't have one and will run like crap from what I research. I also know I have to re wire the water temp sensor that located on the back of the block to the thermostat housing if I wrong please let me know if I'm wrong. I will buy a vtec sub harness for the vtec I'm still reseaching to see if I can use a obd2 or obd1 b16a2/a3 dizzy. Is there anything else I will need as far as wiring for this engine?

You're running an obd1 ecu, why do you need the ckf?

I was told without the ckf the motor will run like crap. So I don't need a ckf? Since I'm using a p28 ecu

Nope, the ECU doesn't even look for it. Hopefully you're planning on running a chipped P28, though.

hopefully you don't go blow whoever brains out for telling you its ok to run an obd1 ecu in an obd2 car where they need to pass inspection and whatever else they will do to your car.

I mean, if anyone knows Hawaiian emissions laws, please feel free to tell OP if he's being an idiot or not.

Yeah I plan on using a chipped p28 ecu. Hawaii doesn't have emission testing on the island. Thx for the info and help.
