I know that 96-98 itr swap into my 96 ek would be qouite easy.
I have two options for my swap... the other is an 97 itr swap and the orher is an 99 itr. I know that 98+ itrīs have 4.7 final and 4-1 header so I would like to choose that but I have read that I should choose a 96-98 transplant for 96 ek.
So does anyone have info on this?
Please ansver if you have info goes Iīm ordering my swap end of next week!

Is it beacuse most 99 hondas are obd2b and 96 civic is obd2a people say that 96-96 hondas should have 96-98 engine swaps?
It says in this site http://www.jdmcivic.com/jtuned/0303/nab16a.php
that "1996-1998, you will want to get a 1997-1998 USDM or 1997-1999 JDM P73 ECU". So 99 jdm integra would still be obd2a? right?
So if itīs obd2a there should be nothing different compared to 97-98 swap?
Please could someone confirm this to me so I can order my swap!

Yeah, it would be a little easier, but only regarding staying obd2a...But if you ended up buying the obd2b you would only have to buy a jumper harness from a place like jhpusa.com and that would be it. It really doesn't matter at all, you basically just want to stay obd2 period. IMO the 4.785 final drive and the 4-1 factory header that would come with that '99 swap would outweigh buying a little ole' wiring harness

But as far as putting the actual swap in (mounts, etc, etc.) there is absolutely no difference in any of the ITR swaps from '96-'01.

Thanks for the info but I have already desided to go with the 97 one beacause itīs
cheaper and Iīm going to buy an aftermarket header to replace the stock header anyway so itīs not that big of an deal that I lose the 4.7 final!
Iīm also getting a 5lug conversion to get my brakes on the same line with the swap! does anyone got good info on the 5lug swap for an ek?
