Hold on... You already bought an engine you dont know & tranny from someone without knowing anything of what the swap would encompass for a car you know nothing about?!? Thats a recipe for disaster. This is a mechanical machine, not playing with legos. Were you seriously planning to just figure this all out later? What information did you get from the seller?
Have you bothered to start researching anything yet? The fact that you still dont know which B18 you have tells me you havent, which puts you a lonnng way away from even starting this project.

Couldn't have said it better myself.
We are not trying to discourage you from your project, rather trying to inform, educate you on the most important step of any project. That is to research what you are planning to do. Without that information you will end up spending way more money than you ever imagined which can lead to some people giving up all together and reselling their project to someone else for a huge loss.

I definitely dont mean to be discouraging, but the fact is that the information you've shared indicates you are not following the path of least resistance. Its time to start researching heavily about the equipment you have, the vehicle, the build process, and what other equipment you'll need that you dont yet have. Its all available either on this site or in other channels online.
I think you discouraged him.
Excellent!

No not even guys I haven't even bought the engine or transmission yet lol I don't have the money yet exactly, and that's why I posted on here first. Engine is not in my possession. I still have to learn about the engine itself before I can swap it. I still have to get all the information on it all I have on it is that it's either a B16 or B18 that's it haven't even gone into much detail with the seller yet. I have actually been trying to get ahold of him but I haven't been able to the past couple of days.

just remember theres 3 different b18, b18b is non vtec b18c GSR(black top) and b18c type r(red top)
if its just "regular" vtec b18 its deff a GSR which you should try and get instead of b16, made more power then b16 in stock form plus its 1.8l bigger displacement b16 made about 167 hp b18c GSR made 180hp
you only need obd2a/b to obd1 jumper harness if you want to run chipped ecu
