94-95 are OBDI and your car is OBDII. You'll have wiring issues. It's not a big deal to convert, but some ppl like OBDI, PLUS you get into issues of legality as well... not now, but if Cali laws are any indication of the direction we are taking then same year or newer swaps only are eligible. Again, this is not the case currently, but it will be likely in the future. Why not get a 99-00 SiR B16A2 instead of the older B16A3?? They are plentiful and cheap... just watch the classifieds.

7800 redline I think... does no one use hybrid.honda-perf.org anymore. Man, when I was younger that was the place of choice.... I spent 3 weeks just reading up on that site, learning everything those guys had to say. Why don't you take a look. That's the original hybrid site from like mid-late 1990s.

By law when you change a motor, you can only do it with one that is the same age or younger.

However i haven't seen an incident of this being enforced
