B16 ques
Ok........ I recently have decided to drop a b16 into my 88 crx si. I came across a b16a2 from a civic si that i had planned to use. My car i assume OBD0 and the b16 is OBD1 so do i have to convert this and if so what will i need to complete the conversion?
Sorry if this is a stupid question

So it would be like a b16a1 swap. I guess what i want to know is how simular or diffrent a b16a2 swap is from a b16a1 swap using a cable tranny in a crx.

Thanks for clearing that up for me 
. Would i be able to clear up the hydro transaxles proble by using a hydro tranny? Can i use a hydro tranny in a crx? And what would i need to convert the OBD0 (CRX) to OBD-II (ENGINE)

Buy a cable trans from a first gen B16A, that's the easiest way to do it.
If it was up to me, I'd modify the stock harness to run the new engine. Have a service manual and electrical troubleshooting manual ready.

HASport sells an add-on harness for first gen B16A's, but I don't know if they'll hybrid an entire harness for you. That would be about as much work as the 3G hybrid harnesses they sell for $350ish.
