you need the loom and ecu from a b16b also.getting a loom wont be hassle these cars are being broken everyday.yes you also need to use either of the other mounts you mentioned.

ok fair enough,do you no if i need the loom say from rear lights right up to the front lights or just the bit in around the engine?
 
The EK loom won't be compatible with the eg chassis. Best way to do it is use a ITR b18c engine loom which will plug into your shock tower plugs and use chipped obd1 ecu to run it. Use mounts from a EG6.

Yes in engine bay, Ill try pull out a few pics. Chipped obd1 ecu is a obd1 honda ecu which is socketed and chipped so it can be tuned. It will need to be tuned for the engine setup in your car. Not sure if you can get a conversion harness to run a obd2(b16b) ecu in a obd1 car...

There around 150 for a chipped ecu +cost of tuning after that. I think you may be able to get a conversion harness to run the obd2 ecu in obd1. PM accessory zone on here, he sells those harnesses so will no what is available.
