It'll really help if you tell us your year, make, model, ECU and engine you'll be using. But in general:

ECU adapter
Distributor adapter or use certain OBD2 alternators
Alternator adapter or use an OBD2 alternator
Injector adapters or use OBD2 injectors (only certain ones)
Other possible wiring alterations; IAT, IACV, etc

A lot of this will depend on your current setup and vehicle and what engine/ECU combo you'll be using.

if your taking a motor out of a obd2 vehicle and putting into a obd1 then just change the distributor,alternator,injectors to obd1 and get a obd1 computer

Does OP mean an OBD1 engine into an OBD2 car or an OBD2 engine into an OBD1 Car?

Perspective can mean everything sometimes....

It's a 98 Honda civic ex d16y8

Just that the engine busted so I got a Japanese d16a to put into it but the Japanese motor doesn't have a crank sensor so I was wondering if i can just change the set up to obd1

Auto? 5spd? What hyr is the d16a? I don't recall d16a being a swap of the obd1 family, only d15's, I could be wrong.

What about the tranny? Is it an jdm obd2 auto? You might be able to get away with it by running the obd1 setup. I've read on d-series.org that someone was able to use an auto obd1 ecu in an obd2 auto.
