Ive done some searching, but I want to be sure I have all that I need before the conversion and to see if its even worth doing.
99 civ d16y8.. I am wanting to turbocharge it eventually.
should I convert to odb1?
and what all am I going to need besides pin outs and a new ecu?
I am also wanting to use the moates ostrich on this.

convert to OBD-I otherwise tuning will be a big PITA

jakedoza

cool...
what all am I going to need? I know that the odb2 dizzy will work..Will I need anything else?

obd2 to obd1 ecu jumper harness. makes everything so much easier. its plug and play. easy as that. im not sure what else, if anything, you'll need to finish conversion. but def. buy the harness, saves so much time and hassle. you'll be glad you did, trust me.

cool...
to make sure i've read correctly.. Ill need a odb1 p28 for this conversion, correct?

pat92si

yes, the P28 is the ecu your going to want to use.

You can use just about any available chipped ECU. Lots more ECU's are chipped now-a-days. Not just P28's. You can find ZIF Socketed P06's, P08's, PR4's... They can all be chipped for 4-wire O2's and VTEC.

Rywire carrys chipped P06's generally, with the occasional P08 and P28. P28s are so rare now that it's impossible to keep them in stock.

Functionality-wise, they're all the same, just a different sticker on the side.
