well if its a b16a2 then you already have your answer. usdm they were only available in the 99-00 civic si, so that makes it originally an obd2b engine.

1996 was the first year for OBD2. If your car has 2 o2 sensors (one on the header/manifold and the other near the catalytic converter) you have OBD2.

B16A2's are from 99-00 Si's. The motor is OBD2, but you can run a chipped P28 with a b16 map and it will run fine.

Motors dont have OBD (on-board diagnostics) only the ECUs do...

you know what I mean. The block and parts have the sensors/spaces for sensors that OBD2 systems require.
