I have a 92 Civic VX Hatch. My swap is a B18A1 [1991 Integra LS]. My car is OBD1, the engine is OBD0. To get the swap in, you will need to:

*Get either a hydro tranny or a cable to hydro conversion.
*Get an OBD1 distributor
*Get an OBD1 ECU [like a P28]
*Use OBD1 [high impedance] injectors, or else use the B16's injectors with a resistor box
*You may have an issue with the motor mounts
*Use your Civic's wiring harness
*Get a GSR throttle cable
*Use 94+ Integra axles
*Use B16's shift linkage
*Use B16's radiator hoses

As you can see it's a pain in the ass, but once it's in, it's great.
