new question!!!! can i get a jdm d15b and do a complete swap and keep my same ecu?
or do i need a new one?
one more thing. if i buy the d15b can i use my head from my y8 and the bottom block of the d15?
and keep my ecu?
or does it not work that way

yes a d15b will drop right in and yes your ecu will run it, but you will need to convert it to obd2, using your complete intake manifold, also you will need a obd2 to obd0 conversion plug for the dizzy, and add a knock sensor to the back of the block, also you will need to trick your ecu because a cel will come up for a crank position sensor, the obd0 and obd1 engines dont have them, they have cam position sensors, also the state of california will not pass your car for emissions since its a newer car with a older motor.

i no! he gets my hopes up
and then finaly after thinking wow i think i can i think i can..
he breaks the news...
welll in two years when i need it to pass smog i wont have to worrie about it. i plan on making enough money for an actual new car! crazy isnt it. so i plan on selling it with in a year any ways i just want to like it while i have it. so passing smog isnt a big deal to me as of right now. and the company i was going to buy the d15b said that it would pass smog. idk wy he would say that tho if it wont
and whats all this obd2 and obdo obd1 shananagans?? ha i have heard of that but idk what it is. a program a plug? a chip?

Dont do the d15B anything on your California licensed car man, seriously, find a cheap Y8, they are everywhere and cheap as HELL just buy one. D15 will not be worth the trouble at all and your car will not pass emissions. Its one thing to give up your emission passing capabilities for a B series swap where you will actually gain some power and what not but not for just getting an OLDER engine that will gain you nothing.

obd0= any civic older than 91
obd1= any 92-95 civic
obd2= any 96 and up
obd2a=96-98 civics
obd2b=99-00 civics
its the ecu/ computer system.
im not saying swaping the engine out for a d15b wont work, it just takes more to put an older engine into a obd2 car, the obd2 computer system requires more things (sensors) to work.
take nike's advise just find a y7/y8 block or you can put a new crank in yours.
