I have the obd1 1995 d16z6 del sol, so i would have to convert the b16 into obd 1 right? and yess i used the search function before i asked the question.. I need help soon and fast soo thanks

What year is the B16A2? 1990-1993? If so, yeah, you need to convert it from OBD0. There are plenty of harnesses that make the job easier. Do a search and you'll find em.

I think you should search a little more

the info is definitely out there

ok you need ob1 injectors and distibutor unless you repin the obd0 one but im not sure if ya can. everything else will plug up. o yea and the o2 sensors need to be converted to 4 wire and you need an exhaust manifold with only one bung because yours has 2 and obd1 only uses 1. also i believe your b16 doesnt have a throttle body mounted map senosr so you may or may not have to run wires for it and pick up a map sensor. that it as far as i know. anyone else may add to this if they like. and when you finish converting the motor you can use your d16 harness that in your car now and the only wires that need to be run are the knock sensor since the harness has vtec already ran.


edit: b16a2 is from a 99 civic si or a del sol vtec from after 95. this makes it an obd2 engine which makes my previous reply useless. well now you know what it takes to convert to obd0 lol. anywho, your engine harness will work but agian the distributor and injecotr issue arisses. now in this case you can repin the distibutor but i dont know the diagram off hand. search for that one. now youll need injectors from an obd1 engine. im pretty sure you d series ones will work but search about that issue as well to be sure. the other option is to get an obd2 engine harness and use that. that will be easier. id say grab one from a civic ex since vtec will be there already and again youll need to wire knock sensor. the engine bay plugs will plug right up to your odb1 in cabin harness plugs and the only thing youll need is a obd2 to obd1 subharness which you can get from various memebers on the board. or you can run a chipped p28 or and have it be completely plug and play because the p28 does not look for a knock sensor. agin i think thats all but im sure someone will in any blanks i left.

I thought a B16A2, which sounds like its OBD2 since he'd convert to OBD1, was plug and play into an OBD1 car. Am I wrong?

RedDelSol si

you are indeed correct except for some minor details which i think ive pretty much covered.

Cool, I was kinda curious where the OBD0 talk came from. I wanted to make sure I was reading it right.

RedDelSol si

yea i just obd0 as i read it and forgot about that it was obd2

the engine is a b16a2 from a 1999 civic si

so "red delsol si" would i need to change the dist? and injectors? and whats repin mean? thanks for all the replys guys

RedDelSol si

you would need to do that only if you used your existing obd1 del sol engine harness because the injector and distributor plugs differ from obd1 and obd2. when you repin a plug you switch the current plug from one to a different while following the apporiate pinout( what each pin in a plug is for) so you can plug an obd2 distro into an obd1 harness. again i reccomend you pick an obd2 harness. it doesnt matter wich one because running vtec is easy and you have all the ijnfo youd ever need here on h-t. and you then get a subharness to convert the ecu plugs from obd2 to obd1.

soo i would need a obd2 harness? so i could use like a civic si harness so some sort or just a newer civic VTEC harness? Then when i hook it up to my ecu, get the wiring that changes obd2 to obd1? How about the throttle body would that be okay also sense it has a obd 2 tps? thanks for all the help

teamsol

well i think its figured out.. i called a friend at hasport today.. he said that they could take my stock wiring harness and turn it into a obd2 harness, then he said they would need to re map my ecu to a dohc program.. then other then that they said i dont need any other mounts, and i just need 94 and up integra axels. do you guys think this is right is there anything else they might have left out on accident? and thanks for all the help guys.

Swap a B16A3 - Del Sol motor, plug and play...

teamsol

i would but i picked this engine up for a killer deal. my friend just swapped his b20 in and he sold this to me 600 bucks w/0 tranny soo no too bad

RedDelSol si

its way easier than all that. im tellin ya pick up an odb2 engine harness or use the one that should be on your engine. the plugs will plug up to your soll harness. then get a subharness and run the si ecu or run a chipped p28 and its plug and play. all youd need to do is run knock sensor wire to your ecu. unless you use a chipped p28 which doesnt look for a knock sensor. as afar as mounts go, all your current mounts will work except for the l brace on the back of the engine and the lower tranny torque mount. those youll need from an integra. you can use teg axles w/o a problem. and any obd2 civic or teg harness will be fine. you just may have to add more wires depending on which one you use. search for posts in the archive from
B18C5-EH2 and you ll find a thread explaining this exact procedure. but all that other stuf that hasport mentioned is not necesary. pm me if you want some more info.
