ud be better off w/ an f22b1 from a 94-95.....its OBDI........(if not an H22)......

OBDI -> II (and vice versa) is a pain in the *** to begin with....but OBD 0 -> OBDII =

hey i don't mean to act like i know a lot but isn't OBD-I better (for low end torque or some thing like that) than OBD-II any way? i mean i knew a kid with a very nice integra gs-r and he was so proud of his OBD-I ecu if this is so y not just go straight to an OBD-I

OBD-I is better for moding rather than OBD-II

if you are not OBDII now you don't want to be. generally OBDI takes to mods better and isn't going to throw as many stupid CE lights. you can also advance the ignition timing for more power.

you'd waste a lot of time for nothing just swapping in the f22b because you could get a cam I/H/E and make more power...the vtec feature on those motors is for better gas mileage rather than more power

the 92/93 ex/se makes 140hp and more torque than that.....get that cam/ecu/IM and you're making f22b power already
