A lot of defferent opinions/information about this on here ...

I bought a d16y8 dizzy on here for my turbo d. The car is an obd1 p28 to a obd2.Well the clip on this car is not able to connect to the 1997 d16y8 dizzy I just bought. Ideas?... What other dizzys would be able to work on my car?The clips when matched up are the same size as each other.

Thanks..

your car is obd1, a obd2 dizzy will not plug into your engine harness. is your engine obd2a or b? you can get an adapter harness for the dizzy.

This may sound retarded .. but how can you tell if its an obd2a or b?

dpetro1

in general, obd2a is 96-98 and obd2b is 99-00. for the dizzy, i believe the obd2a has a 10-pin connection and obd2b has a 8-pin connection.

i can say that my 2000 Y8 has a 8 wire plug for the dizzy.

dpetro1

cool, thanks for the confirmation

What car is it in? By the looks of things i'm guessing its in a '92 hatch. Use a D15B7/D15B8 distributor, bolts up perfectly to a Y8 head and plugs right in.

DUKE LADUKE

ya , its a 92.

So I could get a d15b7/d15b8 and it would work ?There wouldn't be a need for the adapter harness?

94EG8

Correct.

Hope this helps

dont obd1 vtec d-series all use the td-42 dizzy? meaning any vtec dizzy would work or is there something different about the b7/b8?

94EG8

B7/B8 has a different mounting flange, the same as a Y7/Y8. OBD1 vtec distributors have a slightly different mounting flange and don't bolt up properly.

DUKE LADUKE

The blue plug didnt fit the one that I currently have on the car .

94EG8

What blue plug? Distributor plug should be grey.

DUKE LADUKE

The plug that didnt fit right is blue inside .. As the obd2 dizzy has the same blue inside but grey on the outside


The one that I have on there is the obd2b style with the 7 pins. Thanks guys for the help !!!!

Since we are on topic in here , anyone have one of the "small plug" obd2 dizzys laying around?

vtecveins

the only diff is that obd2 utilizes one plug get the obd1 plugs and you can re pin it to obd1 its so easy i just did it the other day all you have to do is seperate the dark blue and black with yellow stripe the rest of the plugs go back in the obd1 plugs the same way as obd2 not many people know that its that easy

vtecveins

you are better off getting rid of that obd2 man its not as good as obd1 even if the motor is obd2 obd1 will run it fine and you wont need all the extra o2 sensor, and knock the jumpers arent always the best route either they dont tell you that they are direct fit to run some mods have to be done still

dpetro1

wait im confused, are you using an obd2 engine harness?

what 94eg8 was suggesting was to get an obd1 d15b7 because the plug matches your obd1 car and the mounting flange will match your y8

DUKE LADUKE

Yes, obd2 harness.

94EG8

OBD2A is like that. OBD2B uses one small plug (applies to '99 - '00 Civic CX/DX/LX/EX only) like the larger plug on OBD1 distributors.

Why are you running an OBD2 harness? Better yet what harness? Does the engine harness have 1 small plug or 1 large plug?

DUKE LADUKE

Anyone have that obd1 dizzy laying around ?? b7/b8

Vindicator9000

Yep. That's what my brother in law did when he swapped my y8 into his EG CX hatch.

It's the old 8pin/10pin problem. I ran into it when I swapped my gsr into my 2000 EX. I snipped the plugs and resoldered the gsr plug into the civic, but I can't for the life of me remember which wires went where.

DUKE LADUKE

Yea my car has the obd1 pins with the 7 pin clip and the 2 pin clip. Now I need this !!!!

ej1jose
