get paperwork on the engine to prove mileage for starters, get the lsd with it, its obd1 so ecu should be set except for your vtec (rpm activated switch, or wire it to a shift light on tach). i believe that engine will drop in with no mounts since it came out of the same car but id recommend u contact someone about that...i think youll need an adjustable shift linkage (HCP engineering, Hasport, PlaceRacing make one?) modify the axles to fit shouldnt be too hard. make sure its the COMPLETE HARNESS not cut. might want to upgrade the radiator(fluidyne or one out of a del sol)...switch out the parts so u just gettin a clean start...belts, water pump, dist cap&rotor, thermostat, etc.

well if u are referring to me...i never told him to run the dx ecu on the b16...

sorry but they did make on obd0 b16 the wiring wont just "plug up" believe me...ive tried[/quote]

your right, i figured it was common knowlege that you would need to swap in a obd1 motor if you want the wiring to plug and play, the first gen b16s and the 99-00 b16a2's plugs are different

Default 1.5

Two of the best cheapest/best things you can do for that 1.5 is get the EX transmission and the 1.6 Vtec head from a D16Z6. This configuratoin is called a "Mini-me". The 1.5 is not strong enough for nitrous or boost.
If you really want the car to go fast just about any B-series motor will bolt right in. They are considerably more expensive compared to the "dime-a-dozen" D-series, but they have more power potential. There are also a lot more aftermarket parts for them.
