Why are you trying to confuse people with meaningless crap?
At to make things worse, you're not talking about either actually..
The crank angle sensor is in the distributor (which they all have) , and the knock sensor is completely unrelated (and all B-series VTEC engines have that too). If you try to bypass the crank angle sensor, which is one of the main sensors the ECU uses to determine engine angular position, you're in a world of hurt. It's hard to inject fuel and fire a spark plug if you don't know where the pistons are except when you're at top dead center and at the cylinder one position.
You're talking about a crank fluctuation sensor, it picks up off of the crank gear down by the oil pump. USDM ODB2 cars generally have it, JDM generally doesn't. A USDM oil pump (with CKF sensor) and USDM crank gear (with a new woodruff key because the ITR woodruff key is permanently attached) is all you need if you want to use a USDM OBD2 ECU.
You might have to do something about the immobilizer if you use the ITR ECU (I don't remember, do some research), but I would still suggest using that because it has the correct mapping and parameters for the ITR engine. So you'll be de-tuning the engine if you use the B16 ECU.
OBD2 B16s have a Crank Angle Senor on the crank aswell. Just thought I'd let you know that.
(I'm in the middle of adding a B18c in my Si and bought another harness. I removed it from my harness, along with the knock sensor plug. I'm going OBD-1. Fuck obd-2)

In my opinion the b16 and the b18b (ls) are the best motors to build
Thats your opinion. I actually like the fact that I'm saving my number matching number from being tornapart and used in some hybrid that could cause my head to get messed up.
Or I like the fact that it has a slightly better head, nice girdle in the bottom end and the factory LSD. While your working on your 'hybrid' setup. I'll turn key and continue to beat on it.
Plus. I don't know about you but most people would feel more secure in buying a car with a factory Type R swap than some joe-blow from your area throwing together a lsvtec setup.
And for the record, I know you'll come back with your first sentence to me. I have no where NEAR 4,000 dollars in my Type R swap.
