it is obd2, and a crx is obd0, but a d16z6(5g) is obd1, and it works, you just don't run the motor in obd2. if you're going to use the si computer and some other kind of vtec activation, then you will run it in obd0. you will just use your si harness, and extend some of the wires. it's really easy. kind of a comon sence swap
good luck

yes it can be done. A little birdie told me so.



The BEST way to do it, is convert your crx harness (obd0) to obd1. You can mount the engine by simply swapping the drivers side upper mount and bracket for the one on the y8 (98 ex). You can use the 98 ex obd2 dist, and injectors. Use a p28 (92-95 ex) ecu and you are all set.

Treat it the same way you would a z6 swap. If you want to do it half assed, you can look at the other alternatives which are described on the honda hybrid 4thgen tech article.
