    I am wanting to do an engine swap on my 1999 ek hatch. a friend of mine has just totaled his eg(suv crushed the rear end) and he wants to sell me his engine, its a b18b obd1. he has the engine, tranny, ecu, , mounts off the eg, and the wiring harnes . is there anything else i need?

    Thanks for the help,

    you'll have to convert the engine to obd2 for your chassis, but you can still convert and use the obd1 ecu for tuning/daily.

    get the obd2 crank pos sens and obd2 dist if i remember correctly. then get an obd2b-1 conversion harness and you can use the obd1 ecu. if you socket/chip it, it can be tuned for max power.
