if you don't have strict smog rules like CA just go with a 92-95 obd1 b16. offers more tuning capabilities.

if you chose to go with an obd1 swap you will also need the obd2b to obd1 conversion harness for the ECU and the 99-00 Civic Si driver side motor mount and also the 99-00 Civic SI rear T-bracket, also the 99-00 Civic SI throttle cable.

Would change to obd1. Alot of ppl wishes they would have changed thier's because the easy tuning caps. All obd-1's can be tuned with ample amounts of systems. Obd-2... Not any that i've heard of, but im sure theres one or two besides AEM. $$$ Hondata can be picked up for just a few hundred depends on what you want..

i think it would actually cost about the same after all the conversion harness and ecu stuff.
