do you already have the conversion harness i believe the 97 would be obd2a so make sure you have the right conversion harness then for the management id either just chip your ecu with a new flash or run like a greddy or aem engine management software to self tune the car as you drive it

one more thing double check the obdto make sure its obd1 or obd2b i believe the 96-98 were 2a and 98up were 2b but just be safe and confirm that

good to be back man.  yeah i have done all that i can do to nott spend any money and try and get some bills paid off.  i dropped a small furtune into that civic.  i haven't seen civicking in a long time. its time to get the civic going again, for all the warm weather.  Also i have looked and what i am seeing is that the s200 is very very good but you have to get a bunch of extra stuff to use all of its good features where as the s300 come swith everything and costs about the same or maybe more.  also i thought that the s200 is only for 92-95 and the s300 was for 96 and up?!!
