I'm pretty sure you are going to be swapping an OBD0 into an OBDI Chassis.
If it is in fact an OBD0, then it's probably not a god idea to swap it.
It would be in your best interest to find out why your engine is burning oil, rather than swapping a motor that is from an older gen Civic into your car.

if you want to do that swap, you'll have to use parts from your motor to upgrade the other motor to odb1. Yes, you can swap the intake manifold, which you'll have to do. You may have to swap the dizzy as well...i dont remember everything exactly, just search for d series odb0 to odb1 swap or somethin.
well the reason why is burining oil could prob. be the piston rings.. valve seals.. head gasket ect. and i really dont feel like dealing with that s**t.. dont feel like spending time and money into a motor that has alot of milage. 180k (well to me thats alot) even though we all know hondas lost long..the engine that i picked up is a D15B2.. mines is D15B7

yes u can put a d15b2 in, u will need the ecu for it cuz b2 is dpfi and b7 if mpfi....i know this cuz someone did the swap on my 95 dx coupe before i bought it...im in the process of putting a b7 or z6 motor back in it....and mine runs fine btw...and its like 10 hp less than the b7well the reason why is burining oil could prob. be the piston rings.. valve seals.. head gasket ect. and i really dont feel like dealing with that s**t.. dont feel like spending time and money into a motor that has alot of milage. 180k (well to me thats alot) even though we all know hondas lost long..the engine that i picked up is a D15B2.. mines is D15B7

ok if ur asking if u can use the d15b7 manifold and wiring on the d15b2, the answer is yes but u also have to use the fuel rail and injectors tooi cant just use the d15b2 motor.. like jst swap intake mani from my motor dat i have on now and use the same wire harnes n same ECU?
the fuel rain and injectors from the b7? or b2? and i want to buy a new clutch also what trim do i look for? does the b7 clutch fit b2?.. if not what do i search? cuz i want to buy after market headers, fuil rail, and exedy clutch... (sorry for the dumb questions) im new to swaping a motor. never did it before so i get nervous lol
