But I guess I just suck. So here it is-

I have a 93 civic SI

I'm looking at buying a D16Y8 from a 98

I have an SI harness, P28 ECU and dizzy's available from a 93 SI or 95 LX

Can I just plug this **** in and go? Do I need to wire the knock sensor since I would be running OBD1? Which dizzy should I use? Would I need to chip, reflash the ECU or anything?

Thanks a lot for any information you might have.

MonkeyMagic

use the 93 si dizzy, the harness will plug up to everything but the injectors, you won't need a knock sensor

use the injectors from your stock motor

that is about it man.

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.

I did read on another thread that the Z6 dizzy won't fit the Y8 head and that the fuel maps were different on the Y8 ECU as opposed to the P28.

Can anyone clarify?

Yeah I just did a D16y8 swap on my 92 hatchie and well to answer your question about the dizzy not matching up with the bolt holes on your head then your correct you will need to use the D16y8 dizzy. Next rewire your EG dizzy harness wires to the one pulg dizzy set-up that is found on the 96-00 civic engine harness. I bought a dizzy at auto zone and it had all the colors that matched off my Eg harness so I sodered and shrink wrapped them one by one and worked like a charm. Hope that helps I have the same set-up.

im doing the same thing and ran into the same problem....FG2 u said all the wires matched up...so there shouldnt be any extra wire rite...?i think imma just depin the dizzy wires on the distributor and put it in the egplugs.....or visversa...

D15B7/D15B8 Distributor is the one to use. However for anyone who wants to know you can swap the CYP/CKP/TDC sensors from ANY OBD1 D or B-series distributor into ANY OBD2 D or B-series distributor case and vice versa to create the distributor you need with the parts you have. Depining unfortunately doesn't work, the pins look the same, but they are slightly different and wont snap into the plug shell when you try to swap them.

killakalipoph

would all three bolts that hold the distributor bolt up....i tried a distributor that is a non vtec....and obd1 but i could barely get 2 bolts on it...

94EG8

the non vtec distributors are supposed to be the ones that fit the Y series heads from everything i've read. Regardless if you have both of the distributors mentioned in the original post one of them will fit.

killakalipoph

ummm would a obd2 non vtec distributor work? i can get the y8 distributor its just i would have to pay for it...this sucks...i got 3 different distributor but dun think none of them would work..hahahhh

94EG8

So far as I know the OBD2 D-series distributors are all the same. You will need to use OBD1 CYP/CKP/TDC sensors though unless you buy a conversion harness.

iamthefollower

as 94EG8 was saying just take out everything in the obd1 case with plugs and all, and place everything in the obd2 casing...

killakalipoph

so u guys are saying i can use the obd2 dx distributor shell and the obd1 ex internals and it would work...?

killakalipoph

imma give this a shot tomorrow....thanks for the help

Yep, I'd keep the OBD2 Shaft and bearing assembly too being as its newer though.
