ok so before i get a hundred people telling me to stay in my obd vintage, and not offering a reason why, please allow me to say the following:
first of all, i cant afford a GSR, ITR, or CTR swap. secondly, i cant even find an OBD2 B16 swap. and finally, i like the idea of being able to tune an OBD1 ECU "easily". so that been said, here is my scenario and my question(s):
car: 1996 Civic EX, D16Y8, 5 speed, OBD2a
swap i can afford and find easily: '92-'95 B16A SirII, OBD1
now, aside from the "normal" swap stuff(axles, L bracket, etc), what else is involved in running said OBD1 motor in my chassis? what ECU would be utilized? provided the new motor came with a clean harness, what would need to be cut? could an OBD2a to OBD1 conversion harness be used to save myself from cutting stuff?
yes i know its a lot of newbie questions. yes i have searched, but cant get a single straight answer. im open to advice, but only from people who have done this swap. if your gonna say "stay in your own obd vintage", explain why(NOT "your gonna run into problems". what kind of problems?). and yes, i know, B18C has more torque, as is faster, and is a better place to start. keep in mind ALL of my shopping will be done via telephone or internet, so i cant take advantage of your buddies hookup on a GSR swap for $2K unless he wants to crate it up.
thanks in advance
