Default Which Swap B18c GSR or B18C1 GSR

alright i have to choose between two swaps for my 95 civic cx and i dont know which one to pick so please help.....i have to decide ASAP

SWAP 1

JDM B18C GSR
20,000 miles on motor
Greddy Headers
Act Xtreme Clutch
LSD Transmission
NO ECU
$2500
Motor History: I am good friends with the guy. He babied the motor, changed the oil every 2,000 miles. has to sell the motor because he got rear ended

SWAP 2

USDM B18C1 GSR
80,000 miles on motor
Stage 3 Spec clutch
Skunk 2 Intake manifold
LSD Transmission
Skunk 2 ECU
$2000
Motor History: Dont really know the guy, but he raced around a lot. Dont know the motors history. Got in a serious accident, the motor runs but i dont know if there is any transmission damage.

Which one should i pick, the JDM Motor will probably have emission problems, and the guy says his USDM motor passes, so please help

Can you find an obd1 p72 ecu? OBD1 cars only do the sniffer test. Yours is obd1 because its a 92-95 civic. A p28 should run the gsr motor but the fuel might be not enough for the 1.8 liter motor
Get it chipped. Search Kenji, he sells chipped ecus on HT.
