yah good luck findin a 98-2kGSR Thats why he got the b16a1. The only time slips I have are from my stock turbo, with a filter, full exhaust, etc ran 14.33@99.6 on a 2.3 60ft. Nothing great but I was only running 15psi:squint: No track times with my curret setup, it's only a week old and I'm still tuning at 18psi on the great pump gas of cali
You can't use an obd1 harness in an obd2 car, it just doesn't work. Your best bet is to get a 99-00 SI ecu and you use the stock EX harness. You also need the obd2 injectors, distributor, and alternator. You will also need to get a kit to make that transmission work. Basically, your getting an motor that can be up to 15 years old and your going to spend just as much getting it in the car as you would spend on a 99-00 Si motor.

http://hybridgarage.com has all the parts, but im not sure if the prices are all that great. they have great tech info too....
imo, the sir-I motor is not the best choice. the cheapest way is never the best. if you spend a little more now, you'll save a lot of headaches down the road. the little things of having an old motor will .05&.10 u to death (ie replacing all maintainence item etc.) remember, that motor is from 1991 or older



He knows his shit if it was him. He's helping me do my swap.
