Default B18C1 GSR Swap into 90' CRX Si

I just traded one of my project cars for a 98 GSR motor. I plan to swap this into my 1990 CRX Si. I have searched the internet for days on a write up for doing this. It doesn't seem to be too popular. I am assuming because of the cost of the motor. The motor part will be easy as I have done plenty of swaps. I am not too sure on the wiring portion and running OBD1 on a OBD2 engine.

Here is what I have so far. I am currently running a D15b2/D16z6 mini me. The harness is already wired for GSR plugs thanks to the previous owner so I'm thinking I will just need to cut the plugs off the GSR harness and use them on my current set up.

Parts list:
  • B18C1 Engine Complete + Tranny + Harness uncut.
  • 98 GSR ECU ( Assuming the motor is a 98 also. Have not looked at head stamp yet)
  • GSR Dizzy OBD2 from the looks
  • Integra axles. Came with motor.
  • Innovative EF to B series motor mounts
  • Innovative hydro tranny conversion kit + shift linkage
  • DX throttle cable. I think this will work it's pretty long.
  • Still need an intake. My single cam one will likely not work.
  • Chip kit and P28 ECU.

Since it would be stupid to convert from OBD1 to OBD2 I am hoping that my D16Z6 Dizzy will work in the GSR head. I have read that it does but have no confirmation on that. Also, I don't know if 98 Integra axles will fit 90 Si hubs. Other than wiring those dumb secondary butterfly valves for the intake manifold am I missing anything? I should be able to tune out the knock sensor and secondary o2 sensor.

I also wanted to get this bar'd but a friend of mine said that even if I converted to OBD2 I still would not be able to. Lame!

Any write ups, guides, or information from anyone that has does this swap would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks! (Prepared to be flamed)
