Default Will a JDM Engine Swap into a USDM Integra?

I need a new engine, 1996 or higher. I keep seeing the Ads for a B20B, but when I checked it out it says JDM only.

if you want to swap just do the same motor because it sounds like you would run into too many issues if you tried doing a different motor

Why a b20?

for that i'll just save all of the hassle of getting custom everything and stay with the b18.
If you want a b20, just get the bottom end with a VEE-TECH head.

Another alternative would be getting a USDM GSR.
They are very fun motors and respond well to mods...

The problem is the Car is a 1996 GSR. Some Idiot down graded it to OBD1 I have to make it OBD2. I am not worried about power now, I just want to drive it legally.

he didnt downgrade it....its very common to go from obd2 to obd1 seeing as only obd1 ecu's can be tuned on your common rom burners etc

It doesnt matter if your car is obd1 or obd2 a good running car should pass emissions no matter what.

Why arent you passing emissions?

Because it does not have the OBD2 Data Link Connector to the ECU.

Im from Harrisburg...

As far as i know, PA inspection links to the diagnostics port on the passanger side behind the center console. If your car is a 96, it was originaly equiped with a p72 (OBD II). You just need a p72 ECU to swap in for inspection. What mods do you have? IM or anything that somebody would have removed sensors? Be sure to drive the car at least 200 miles or so after installing to be sure there are no pending/stored trouble codes.

They removed the Datalink Connector. All the wires were change to OBD1. I have the connector but my tuner has to some how figure out a way to adapt it to the conversion harness.

get a pig tail harness, if your wire harness has been re-pinned get an obd1 to obd2 harness

if it already has a pigtail adapter then take if off and put an obd2 ecu in

many people prefer obd1 over obd2 because it is much easier to tune and modify to see substantial power gains
