OBD2a OBD2b whats the difference?
Im going to be swaping a longblock in for a friend, he has a 96 Civic EX but the motor we are swaping in is out of a 99 Civic EX. Is there anything I need to switch over, or is the only difference in the ecu?
Thanks.
Thanks.

wow that made my head spin. But no. Some of the pins have different locations, I believe.

Just use the 96 EX ecu.
You have to use the ECU that relates to the harness. 96-98 harness = OBD2A ECU.
99-00 harness = OBD2B ECU.
The sensor plugs are all the same shape. There are no additional sensors. Even if there were, you're using an OBD2A ECU.
To simplify: Just use the existing 96 EX harness and 96 EX ECU even if you are using a 99-00 motor.
