Default B18A1 into an 89 crx si (searched already)

I got a full long block and tranny. No axels or ecu.

I know I'll need integra axles (no biggie)

Gonna order the Hasport mounts and shift linkage (no biggie)

Already know I got to change the timing belt and water pump and any other easy to get to gaskets (once again, no biggie)

Questions are, what ECU to use? I checked on Hondaswap and they are listing a p74 with obd-1....everywhere else i read, the b18a1 is obd-0.

Input please...

If you have a 1990 or 1991 LS engine, it would normally utilize a non-OBD ECU like the Integras that those engines came from. A 1992 or up LS changeover uses OBD components... The 1990/91 non-OBD swaps are the easiest for our cars.

you use a 90-91 PR4 ECU make sure its obd0 because there are obd1 pr4s (92-93)

I run a 91 PR4 ECU on my rex, it should be plug and play with you since you have an SI just bolt in the b18a plug up the 0bd0 PR4 and you're ready to feel some 4 banger torque

Ok, let's say the engine iis from a 92-93 (unsure cause the buyer doe'snt remember), would it hurt it to run obd-0?

(Thanks for all the help so far)

i put the harness on the motor and ended up having a big problem. The distributor isn't getting fire.... No one is able to tell me why. If anyone had any guesses let me know. Keep in mind the dizzy is brand new, ecu works, and all 3 grounds are on
