looking to do a b16a swap in my 91 hatch. advice?
OK as I stated in the title I have a 91 hatch back D15b2 with 4 speed tranny. I want to do a b16a swap to make it a si. Any advice. Who has done one? Is it worth the hassle? And most important, how much am I going to spend?
This is some thing in looking to do at the beginning of summer. This is my only car so when it gets warm I can ride my bike to work. So I want to go ahead and get every thing ready to do. Anybody go a parts list that I'll need for this?
I'm thinking I want to go with OBD-0. Is that a good idea? Will there be any advantages with OBD-1? When I bought the car the guy gave me a H22A mounting kit for the car. He said that he never got around to getting a engine for the swao but I dont think I want to go down that road. Let me know what you guys think.

i suggest selling the h22 kit, now do you have dpfi or mpfi?
i also suggest the best would to be build a d16z6 and put a turbo kit on it, it will be the same price or even cheaper than putting a b16 in it. also convert to obd1

Why not just swap the head with Vtec head from a D15B? You gotta swap your DPFI to MPFI, and wire up the vtec solenoid. That would make your car like an Si.

dpfi to mpfi (do you understand this?)
you need to find a 88-91 ex or si civic or crx, and get the whole complete intake manifold, wire harness, and the grey little resistor box on the driver side, a pm6 ecu, or convert from obd0 to obd1 with a jumper harness and if you run vtec you need a p28,
you also need the dizzy, here is a wiring diagram to rewire your ecu, you cannot just plug and play you have to cut the si/ex wire harness and add it to yours. i have alot of info on this swap ive done this alot.
