OBD0 to OBD1 Conversion Harnesses
I think that's going the right way, if not Google honda ecu conversion harness.

Got one for mine last week. I'm putting a b18 into my civic down in clare, it's half done. need to find a mechanic to finish it off. i did the wiring myself if you've any questions.

no worries, I was surprised they were that cheap. Icetronix is about 150!
Mine's a 1.4 ek, But I think with the dual carb, you need a new tank and lines etc.. I have an integra harness from my b18c which i think is the same as the eg, It has two cannon plugs on the passenger side because I've been trying to trace the wires. Which harness are you using? You might be better using the civic's harness and converting it for the b16 and adding vtec, it's what I ended up doing as the teg harness won't work with the ek. You're welcome to the teg harness when i'm done with it if you want it, it should plug right up only i've taken a few connectors/wires of it but it might still be of use. My own is sitting there not connected up at all as the mechanic working on it quit so i'm fooked! i'd do it only I don't have the tools

Something sounds weird man, you shouldn't be missing any canon plugs if they are the same generation.

mechanic quit !! that sucks .how much more work have you too do on your car man??
Yeah it does! Most of the engine swap is done now, I was at it myself last 2 days and I've the drives in and clutch connected so really it's just connect up the engine and swap out the rear trailing arms.
ah your not to bad so lad. im in serious heart ship, see my doner car is crx del sol i have the whole car here , but sure every thing is different on the fucker,
even the fuel tank wont fit the civic , so its all just a mess at the moment
