Convert OBD1 motor to OBD2 possible

[R4Y97]

I have a 97 civic and finally ran my d16 into the ground and currently have about 5 grand for a swap, i would like to drop in a B18. My questions is this, here is PA we have this new thing called emissions testing and the few people i have consulted with have told me i can not pass emissions if i put an OBD1 motor into my OBD2 car, because the car will be hooked up to the computer test as well as the visual. Is it possible to convert an OBD1 motor to OBD2?? and if so does the cost of doing so make it more logical to just spend the ton of extra dollars to get an OBD2 motor which im told is a lot of extra labor to install due to the wiring. I know nothing of swapping a motor myself and the few times i helped my brother do his S10 i realized i would prefer to do without the
thanks

yes it can be done! but to be frankly honest..just get the obd2, it has a better power output, it will come as a full swap obd2 ecu and all so there is no swaping of harness,ecu etc. to get it to run correctly and pass your emmissions standard testing. not knowing alot about cars, honda swaps especialy, you will encounter headaches either way ! but in the long run in a 97 civy you will be better off ( not to mention more happy with ) an obd2 b18. here is another question..which b18 plant are you looking into ? beacuse unless you plan on running a small and very low boost turbo later a b18b ls motor would be pointless and silly, at that point a GSR b18c motor would be a MUCH better choice for you....And If you didnt want to spend the GSR money then there is always the B16A2 civic SI motor and it will drop right in alot more hassle free.....always remember for the big spender there is always the B18C5 type R motor which would be nasty, but youd have to pay nasty
