Default B16 into a 94 Civ, I need some help!!!

I have a B16A1 and I am going to be swaping it into my 94 Civic Ex. The reason I am doing a B16A1 and not an A2 is that I got this engine VERY cheap (with less the 45K on it). I have all of the mechanical parts for the swap, but I dont know about the electronics.

I have EVERYTHING I need to do this swap (I think).

Ok, My question is:

Whats am I going to need to do to get this engine running. I know that the Obd's are diffrent, and thats where I am very confused. How do I get this engine to run? Whats re-wiring do I need to do, and what parts do I need (injectors, distributer?).

Thanks
Tim

Please post information only. Everytime I try to get help all I get is people telling me I should go with and A2, but I HAVE the A1 so thats what I am working with.

I belive that the ECU that came with the B16 is a OBD-1, if that helps with anything.

The easiest thing to do is use all OBDI components: distributor, injectors and ECU. Get a chipped P28 ECU (92-95 Civic EX/Si chipped to DOHC specs) and it will plug into your cabin harness. You can use your stock injectors and a distributor from a 94-95 Integra GSR. Are you keeping the cable tranny? If so, you'll need a mount kit and a hydro to cable conversion.

So all I really need is to get a new chip for my ECU and a GSR Distributor (using my stock injectors)? That does not seem like it will be all that complicated, I like a challange!!!!!

This is what you need to do right here. If your looking for the easy way out, there is none. Do it right or do it twice like they say.
