1st Gen B16a in 98 honda civ
my friend of mine called me up and said he got a motor for his car 98civic ex .. bad thing is its a 1st gen b16a. i know its not impossible to do but im having a hard time remembering what he would need to swap over and keep it 0BD2
can he use a 96+ gsr ecu without changing is wire harness?
since it is a cable tranny will he still be able to use 99-00 si axles/ 94-00 integ?
any info will help. thanks

You will need to ditch all the OBD0 parts for OBD2 components. You will need a mount kit from HASport, HCP, etc. with cable conversion if you want to use the cable tranny. All in all, it's not worth it in the long run. I would recommend just using the longblock and getting the proper OBD2 components and a B series hydro tranny. Sell the cable tranny and OBD0 parts to make some $ back.

and after all that, he would still need to switch to a OBD1 ecu because the OBD2 ecu's look for that crank sensor that only obd2's have on the block.

I was just being brief on the overview. He can still be OBD2 by using a USDM B series OBD2 oil pump and crank fluctuation sensor, or just get a JDM OBD2 ECU.

sure he can do that and use the same harness...
a damn nightmarish process, but yes, thats all doable.
