Use a 1994-1995 Del Sol VTEC B16A3. If your car is a 1995, make sure the motor is also. But don't go with an OBDII motor (1996+).

i have a jdm b16 and was tested with I/H and flew through emissions. one of the testers said "that engine dosent belong in there" but he drives a civic and he wasnt doing a visual test so its cool . no problems for me.
