Default wiring gurus, need help! b18c into ef, b16a1 into eg (story inside)

alright, here goes.

currently the situation is as follows: i swapped in my b16a1myself into my '90 Si this spring and currently have the option to purchase a JDM ITR motor out of a guy's eg in town for the price of $600 plus my b16.

now theres a catch:

part of the deal of why im getting it so cheap is that i would have to switch the motor from one car to the other, and im having a hell of a time trying to figure out the wiring issues with converting both the currently obd1 wired b18 and also with putting the obd0 b16a1 into the obd1 eg. any help would be appreciated, also if more info is needed or i forgot something please PM me.

thanks in advance,
karl

The easiest solution would be to swap the motors while keeping the same OBD parts in the vehicles that they are in now. Reuse the OBD0 ECU, injectors, distributor, alternator and engine harness on the B18C in the EF then do the same thing for the B16A going into the EG. Of course the end result would be a better running B16A in the EG and a "not quite as good as it could be" B18C in the EF. You could always later upgrade the B18C in the EF to OBD1.
