Im getting code 43 in my 89 si with a b20b swap, Where should I start? The car runs really rich, has a slight hesitation at partial throttle... I unplugged the o2 sensor and the miss didnt go away...any ideas where to start? Thanks guys
Do you have an aftermarket fuel regulator? Those are notorious for causing code 43s if not setup properly.
Usually the o2 is the problem for code 43, but you need to change the O2. Running with the O2 unplugged will just make matters worse.
A bad O2 may not always throw a code and will make you run rich. The rich problem may cause misses/hesitations.
If you still get the code at this point, then it may also be a weak ignition system.... cap, rotor, wires, plugs, coil.

Not sure what ECU you have, but ff you are in any sort of doubt, you can get an O2 for the stock engine for your ECU.
But honestly any will work 4 wire Honda/Acura O2 will work. The connector may be a little different, but they all work the same.
Bosch make universal ones that you have to do simple wiring for - those have always worked fine for me.
