One thing that's been eating at me lately is that when I bought this Engine/Tranny combo, i'm pretty sure it said it came from a 92-95 JDM civic. And when I ask around, everyone says get parts for it from the 99-00 USDM civic Si. But the Si is OBD2. Will this limit me at all as far as what parts I can use from it, and what parts I have to find specifically for this OBD1 engine? Lastly, am I completely mistaken and do ALL these B16A2s come from 99-00 civic Si's. Or was my initial understanding of where my engine came from correct? I know my exhaust only has 1 O2 sensor on it, right before the cat, it doesn't have the second O2 by the exhaust manifold. And I'm pretty sure the 99 Si OBD2 motor has both.
Oh, and finally, i bought the upper and lower radiator hoses for a 97 Del Sol VTEC, because that's what the swap guide from Hasport said, however the hoses on this B16A2 are friggin huge. They're a lot bigger than the ones I bought, and a lot bigger than the hose nipples on my tiny radiator. What the hell did I do wrong? Will the 99 Si hoses fit? If the nipples on the engine are not the same size as my radiator, will I need some kind of adaptor? And is this a normal part of this swap? If so I hadn't read anything anywhere about it. Thanks.

every pedal I used was different but mine came from a teg.if you use the old throttle cable you could use the old pedal but the B series throttle cables have a different connector at the pedal than D series from what I've seen.it was the easiest pedal to get out and put in if that helps any.

take a couple minutes to look at the cable, and you can either flip the bracket in a different position to get by, or you can take the time to make one. but the cable itself will and does work. if not, im not quite sure how i got home from the shop last night in my 94 hatch w/b18c using a stock dx cable. the cables not your problem, how it mounts to the manifold is. check on that hydro line for your tranny before you cut the stock end off, should be the same size. do you have all parts from tranny to damper? should be from the slave cylinder: hard line up to bracket ont top of trans, then couples to rubber up the damper mounted on the pass. frame rail, and then back to hard line again. good luck man

Just use your stock lower hose and the del sol upper hose. with a little lubrication you should be able to get the lower hose on the engine water outlet, and just clamp down the upper hose to the radiator. I have seen this done on several EG's with b16 swaps and they haven't had a problem. If you don't want to do this the only other option is to buy a del sol radiator and use it.
