It's 92 in all Honda/Acura cars. OBD1 B18A's are just as common as OBD0 units.

I was told by a friend I would need to change out the wire harness, please tell me he's wrong. This sounds like a pain in the a.ss! I've got access to the entire car so I can get the dist., mounts, linkage and any thing else I need. I just have to remove it all, and over the winter I think I'll rebuild it. Should I look for a VTECH head to fit this motor or is there any need? Man, when I went to school to learn about Honda motorcycles I should have stuck my head in the car part of the factory! Is there anyone who has actually performed this swap? And was it worth the work?

Reuse the one off your D-series.

You can't use G2 Integra mounts, or linkage.

VTEC. Variable valve Timing and lift Electronic Control. No H! :doh:

And no, it's not that special.

At that, it will cost a lot more then a simple head swap to get it running right.

I know, I was just busting balls, because I put a - in it last time, lol. I might be retarded but I'm not stupid..Well, ok a little stupid.
So any linkage or mounts will have to be off a 94 or newer teg, right? I could just turbo my d16 but it's just doesnt have any torque, are the b18's much better? Sorry about the stupid questions, but I'm normally restoring classic mustangs, not civics.
