Hi I'm new to Hondas I have only ever owned GMs such as four camaros and my daily Buick. But gas is a problem. So I picked up a 92 hatch wit a 98 d16 vtec motor and trans swapped. Vtec does not work and is throwing Codes for crankshaft. A few of My honda buddys said I need a jumper harness for obd1 to obd2 and a vtec computer. Is this correct? If so where I get this stuff? Again I'm a gm guy this is whole new ball game for me.

lol no not at all check your codes find out wht they are. find out wht ecu you have cuz it could be somthing simple as just running wires for vtec.

Where is ecu? In these things

ok wat am i looking for to see if its vtec capable or not??? and if so wat wires am i running from where.

D16SiHatch

you'll see a sticker on the ecu like this. if its the correct obd1 ecu for that sohc vtec engine then it should say p28



the 92 and only the 92 year civics came prewired through the cabin harness for vtec. so you don't have to run a wire from the ecu into the cabin. just have to locate the wire in the engine bay and then extend it to the vtec solenoid and vtec pressure switch.

ok it has a po5 ecu. soooo where i go from here??? do i just get any p28 ecu plug in and go or what??? also i was told this car has ob1 fuel injectors but is a obd2 motor out of a 99 or 98. its a d16 y8. sorry like i said use to chevy. long block intake carb, exhuast and six bolts from motor to trans and your off.

Jdcamaros

anyone??
