someone has a thread almost identical to this one.

what you'll need:
-OBD1 ECU
-OBD1 dizzy
-4 wire O2
-OBD0-OBD1 jumper.

Not exactly.

This is the opposite situation.

He is putting a OBD0 motor into a OBD1 chassis. So all he needs is a OBD1 engine wiring harness and it should basically drop right in with the right mounts.

He will also need the OBD1 ecu, OBD1 dizzy and a 4 wire o2 sensor to complete it.

You will need the OBD1 ecu, OBD1 Dizzy and a 4 wire o2 sensor.

That should be about it though. You also will want to put in a set of OBD1 or any high impedance injectors from a 92-00 civic/integra.

All the other sensors on the motor should work with the OBD1 ecu and OBD1 engine harness.

You can use the stock under dash harness. You can use the stock harness from the 95 civic and extend a few wires. Or you can get a full integra engine harness.

You'd have to look at the auto-to-manual FAQ's, but IIRC you use all normal mounts - but the motor will be crooked. I know some companies have made a-2-m mounts that worked with the stock chassis mount points, but...that's not usually economical. If I was doing it, I'd just cut&weld the stock mounts, add some steel, and be done with it. If it lines up bad enough, you'll go though axles like it was a 900hp civic.

I know the thermoswitch or temp sensor is usually on the back, and uses a different 2-prong clip (actually 2 singles, side by side). There's only 1 maybe 2 more that aren't in the same spot. Just make sure you do it right when u extend a wire - poor crimp-on jobs always fail. If you absolutely have to crimp, use heat shrink, NOT tape. Tape is only to organize wires in that sort of an environment.
