you do have to change the fly wheel to a m/t ( make sure you get the 6 bolts out of the m/t fly wheel because you have to use those ). no need to convert to mp.......you have a si car which is already mp. and yes you do need jumpers to run an obd-1 engine. you need the dizzy jumper and a ecu jumper. another factor is......your injectors. obd-1 has saturated. you need peak and holds. commonly found in obd-0 b-series cars. ( 90 and 91 teggy or 90 model prelude ). i have this exact set up in my crx si.
