Can't really help you specifically in an OBD2A Civic, but I have a B20VTEC in my Integra. It's identical to any B-series swap, just larger displacement.

But like Ran said, you'll need basically all mounting hardware and axles from the Si [which came with a B16 factory], and the OBD2A ECU from a '97-'99 Honda CRV [which is what the B20 comes in]. I believe in 2000 they added the immobilizer on CRVs, which is OBD2B]. Everything should bolt/plug in.

Good luck, and post up when you're done!

Thank you...

also, you can use the OBD2A P75 [B18B/LS ecu] and it should work as well.
one thing to note, don't use the giraffe intake manifold. you wont have enough hood clearance for it, so go with an LS intake manifold or anything else aftermarket.

I wouldn't use that, personally. I had an OBD1 P75 in my Integra, and I ran lean as all hell, even with a fuel pressure regulator. Stick with the B20-specific stuff until you start tuning.
