buy a obd2 to obd1 jumper harness-80 bucks.. get a obd1 ecu from a integra or a chipped ecu and your problems are solved.. get rid of that obd2..

yes.. just take your motor out. put the new one in. and hook everything up. you can use your engine harness or use your b18b engine harness.

just use your engine harness from your y8. there will be some extra plugs do to you are converting to obd1 and a non vtec motor..dont worry about the extra plugs. the obd1 ecu wont know there not hooked up. you'll be fine.
