if i'm not mistaken just rock the b18a1 manifold and dizzy although I wouldn't suggest it. you can't use the b16a1 manifold because they are different

and of course the obd0 ecu of your choice.

you could... you would have to run the car off an obd-0 vtec ecu, but honestly i would just convert to obd-1. Get the jumper harness and change a few wires and it is much better. Dont rush into something take your time and do it right... and by right i mean go obd-1.

i dont think an ls intake manifold will bolt up to a gsr... it is a different bolt pattern if i remember correctly.

The b18a1 manifold won't fit on the GSR head, and the dizzy will fit if you chop a leg off, the LS dizzy will hit the vtec solenoid. At least, thats how it is with a b16 head and a non-vtec distributor. You'd need an obd0 b16 distributor if you want it to bolt up right.

But I highly recommend going obd1 and wiring it up how it was supposed to be. There is a lot greater support for tuning with obd1 as well.

I see you're in CA, and you can get it BAR approved if you go obd1. It's not too hard or expensive if you consider the fact that you can get it smogged anywhere after that and not worry about the cops hassling you about an engine swap.

Anyways, you can run it obd0, but I personally wouldnt do it.

I suggest you get the skunk 2 manifold and run it like that.

OBD-1 P72's aren't cheap. You probably will find them to be in the $150 ~ $200 range.
And then you need th conversion harness and 4 wire O2 sensor. That's another $150~$200.

So, for about the same price you can alap on a Skunk 2 manifold and run a chipped ECU.
