well...i dont think this site will be helpfull. since this is a 7th gen site...the B16 didnt come in a 7th gen. but anyway...ill be more than happy to help you since i owned a 4th gen. now...which ECU are you running? it better be a PR3 or a P75 or a P28. if anything else then it wont work. the motor willl run it just wont be engaging Vtec. also if you do have any other ECU then i suggest you crack it open and find out if its Chipped or not. if not then you wont have Vtec.

a great site for you to get info about your car is www.clubcivic.com. post in the 4th gen section there and im sure that someone will help you in no time.
