Default How to make my gsr be OBD1

I've use the search button with "obd2b to obd1" and i only found FS thread selling harness. I'm pretty sure someone asked the question before :
What do i need to convert my 2001 gsr from OBD2B to OBD1?
P28 or P72 OBD1? OBD1 distributor? OBD1 injectors and alternator?
If you know a thread talking about this, you can post it.
Thanks

Ok, well I'm a noob also. I don't know if you need a P28 or not. The reason I said that is because I was talking to a guy that works on hondas/acuras for a living and he said that I would need a P28... but I'm not sure I guess I shouldn't have put that I'm pretty sure you need a P28... instead I should have put I think you need a P28 but I'm not sure. The guy I was talking to never said anything about a conversion harness or a P72 but I guess I'll look into it..... man thats the bad thing about honda tech sometimes is that people talk about **** they don't know what they are talking about haha.... I guess from now on I'll keep my mouth shut if I don't know for sure.

Yall are all Noobs!

I've said that many times, I'm sure if you knew what to search for then you would of found the answer.

If your car is anywhere from 00-01 then you will need an obd2b-obd1 ecu conversion harness with either a p72 ecu, chipped p72 or if you are no longer using the Stock GSR IM then any chipped/converted obd1 ecu will work just fine. You do not need to change anything else in the engine bay.

That's right it's that simple.

If your car is anywhere from 96-99 then you'll need an obd2a-obd1 ecu conversion harness along with the proper ecu. "What I stated above".

No need to change distributors or alternators or injectors blah blah blah

x2. You can run a chipped p28 or P06 chipped to P28 as well if you are using a non IAB manifold.

You just need a conversion harness and an obd1 ECU, nothing else.

You can't use P28 ECU on your GSR. P28 is from a 125hp engine and your engine is 170+hp. It won't run it correctly. It is common sense.

You either need an obd1 gsr ECU or a chipped ECU with a basemap from a reputable tuner or even better - a dyno tune.

Also, I hope you guys understand that there is absolutely no point in converting your car to obd1 unless it is heavily modded/fully built.

Just so you know, you will no be able to pass emissions in some states with an obd1 ECU in an obd2 car.

Ok so the best thing to do would be to buy an already chipped P28 for a gsr from a seller here on the forum?

Ok so could you explain why on some thread people are saying that you need to change everything in the engine bay to OBD1 (distributor, alternator, etc)? If i want to use an aftermarket IM, like the skunk2, i absolutly need a chipped p28 with obd2b to obd1 harness?

You can go either route. But the best and easiest way to go is what I have stated above. If you want to convert your alternator, distributor,& injectors to obd1 then you would need to buy an obd1 harness. You spend more money and get the same results. You can run a stock ecu with the Skunk2 IM. I did for years but you don't get the benefits of the Skunk2 manifold, which would be a waste of money. An ecu conversion harness with a chipped ecu programmed to run your setup would be more ideal and the smarter way to go at it.


Since you are no longer using the GSR IM, any chipped and converted obd1 ecu would work. I chip/ convert obd1 ecu's as well.

Well personally on the ECU catagory JUN builds thee best. Me and my friend had the same builds body and model along with bolt ons, but the ECU. He rolled HONDATA, I dipped out with JUN. I'd pull him by like 2 cars with a launch control. Couple of hundred bucks is good on the long run.
