Dear All,


I'm swapping my D16y8 on a 1997 coupe.

It has obd2a harness.

The motor its from 2000. Obd2b, BUT I MANAGED TO GOT A obd2a ECU

Question 1 :
- I have the Obd2a hardness from D16y8 Vtec.
- I have the obd2a ECU from a B16a2
- Can i use this harness? Or do i also need a obd2a harness from a B16a2 because of knock sensors?

Question 2:
- I had a great deal and i've buyed a P30
- I also have Obd2a to Obd1
- The motor mounted its the B16a2 obd2
- The harness its obd2a also, but its from a D16
- Can use this setup? Or am i missing knock vtec sensors? Do i also need the b16a2 obd2a harness?


Mainly my question is: If you have a D16Y8 Obd2a harness. Can you use it on B16a2 obd2 motor and obd2a B16 ECU? Or do you need the trully harness from a B16 obd2a because of some vtec sensors?

Question 3:
- Whats the CKF trick? Do i need it?


Question 4:
- Can i use my imobilizor? Or can i swap it (unsold / sold) from my original obd2a D16 ECU to the obd2a B16 ECU?


Question5:
- How can i bypass the imob if i change ECU since the ECU its from the original motor? Everything its obd2a

Question 6:
- If i use the P30 with conversion obd2a to obd1
- What are your tips ?


Question 7:
- Im going to put a B18c5 distributor from a ITR
- The motor will be a B16a2 from 2000
- The harness is obd2a
- I've looked closer and it looks plug and play. Do i connect it? Or do i need some change?


Thank you very much for your support

Use the Y8 harness, Y8s have a knock sensor actually. You may need to lengthen some connectors to reach. Generally when doing any engine swap you reuse the original harness and modify to suit the engine. If you are using a USDM B16A2 ECU then you wont have to preform the CKF trick.
