no need for the 5lug conversion......slap the **** outta who told you that please. you might want to convert to obd1 and have someone burn you a b16b program and chip your ecu. do you have this b16b laying around or do you still have to pick one up? the cost factor sucks imo and i would recomend putting that money into your current b16. although it is nice to say " ive got a ctr motor bish".

you could just drop the b16b in there and run off the obd0 ecu. you never ever want to convert to obd2. it wont be perfect but it will run. use the obd0 distributor and you should be fine.
