For your EG, it is a bad thing (in my eyes). You have to convert it to obd1 and it costs almost the same as a OBD1 swap. Plus, they are older motors and god knows what it has been though.

I have to disagree...you should always freshing up the motor before you drop it your car. That way you will know that everything is okay.

First off, I certainly hope you're not planning to make an 88-91 OBD B16 engine work in a 95 EX. You're better off sticking with your factory EX engine if you plan to do that!!! seriously. Either that or just save your money and buy an OBD1 B16 engine, which is totally designed to work in your EX -- transmission & electronics wise.
OBD, NON-OBD, or OBD-0 ... is CRAP compared to OBD1. But, if your car is OBD equipped to begin with, and you haven't gone through the usual seized distributors, dead ignitors or internal coil issues -- you're a lucky one! Most of time, it's best to stick with the "OBD" type your car originally comes with, but, depending on the scenerio, converting to a different "OBD" type is an option....and I'm referring mainly between OBD1 & OBD2 and vice versa, NOT OBD-0!!
Now, if your car is OBD1 equipped (all 92-95 honda's are), then STAY OBD1, don't "wonder" or "try" to see if going OBD in an OBD1 vehicle will work. ITs NOT WORTH doing it at all. OBD is old technology. OBD1 is waaay better in aspects of the distributor internals go, ecu wiring, and ecu's & their programming in general, superior to OBD.
