I have searched up and down, left and right, all of HT and the internet and I can't seem to find a writeup that would help me swap an OBD1 B16A into a 97 cx hatch. And dont post the katman link because there isn't a writeup there. And the phear7imports link doesn't help either.

 

bolt it in jsut like any other b16a with the proper moutns for your gen civic....usually i think that is teg/civic si rear mount bracket and maybe a civic si driver side bracket...not as sure ont hat since its beena while since i messed with a 96 up civic that was swapped.
the mod your harness to fit the new egnine.
put an obd2 to obd1 jumoper harness on it and fire it up.

 

You need to swap your old injector over into the b16 then get an obd2 distributor. I would keep your old wiring harness and add the vtec wires, etc. you'll need a 99 honda civic si rear motor mount bracket and 99 civic si driver side block mount. Everything else is pretty much plug and play. If you plan on using an obd1 ecu then get the obd2 to obd1 and plug it in. It's fairly simple.
