HX wire harness is wired for 5wire primary oxygen sensor

EX wire harness is wired for 4wire primary oxygen sensor

Rewiring it isnt that bad. I rewired mine to be 4wire. It would actually be so much easier if the HX wire harness if off the car (which I assume it would be if you are asking this question).

Timmay

doesnt sound to bad
could you post exactaly what wires you change?

specv5150

Here is how I did mine. I used the OBD1 5wire to 4wire write up and a Helms to re-wire mine

Tools needed:
Wire cutter/stripper
wiring
4-wire oxygen sensor and harness side donor plug
soldering gun (depending on **** you wanna get)
electrical tape/heat shrink/whatever else you want to use to cover that **** up)
helms/chiltons/haynes/ebay CD

Foremost I had to find out what wires did what on the 5 wire oxygen and the 4 wire oxygen. The follwoing thread helped me tremendously and would like to thank whomever wrote it
http://info.honda-tech.com/ind...ensor
Also the ebay CD with the service manual helped even more. I don't know if it is a scanned Helm's....don't ask don't tell but it worked great

I used the 4wire secondary oxygen sensor for my primary 4wire.

You need re wire 4 wires to make a 4wire run....duh

sensor ground - thermostat hosuing wires
oxygen sensor signal - D7 ECU pinout
heater control ground - A6 ECU pinout
12v switched - #4 fuel injector yel/blk wire

So what I did was:
1)cut 4 wire donor plug from my harness since that bitch wouldnt be used anymore
2)wired donor plug to the respective locations above.
-wht/red wire (colors will be different is you use a different donor plug...for instance I originally planned on using an OBD1 donor plug but decided against it and the wires were a different color) from secondary donor plug to white wire on where the stock 5 wire was located
-grn/blk wire from donor plug to A6 heater ground ECU pinout. I cut a couple inches from the ecu pin to tap for wiring
-sensor gorund to one of the thermostat hosuing wires
-12v switched to the #4 injector yel/blk wire
3)solder all wiring and wrap with electrical tape. Be sure to use shielded wires for the signal wiring. The only wire I didnt solder is the ground and is porbalby why I am throwing a CEL 41 But that will be disabled when I put my turbo basemap chip in the ECU.
4)connect ECU and OBD2A - OBD1 conversion harness
5)clear any codes and fire that bitch up.

Timmay

that link is dead

specv5150

you should be bale to find that write up by searching.

dwnthehatch just posted it for someone this wekk so it can be a few pages down

BTW you really dont need that link. All you need is what color wire does what. If you get the HX harness, and can get access to some sort of service manual, you can use the secondary oxygen sensor plug as your donor/new primary sensor plug. Trace the wires for the stock 5wire and what it corresponds to on the 4wire and splice that ****

yeah ive tried searching, but its kinda hard when you search for things under two leters and most ppl dont name it d16y5 to gsr

Timmay

up for more info

Timmay

monday bump

Timmay

more info needed please

Timmay

anyone else have info to share

trevorb05

are u doing a minime swap or what cause if u are im in the same boat as u cause i know pretty much the only difference between the two cars is the camshaft, vtec, ecu and first 02 sensor....that it i THINK lol

i have a 00 civic hx

Timmay

gsr swap into 96 dx

trevorb05

but that is all that i know im still doing some research to make sure everthing is done right ya know......let me know how your swap goes
but hey u might be able to help me out
what i hope to do...im gonna get a y8 head, get it p/p, and a ZEX/COMP CAMS HONDA D16Y8 VTECH SOHC CAMSHAFT #105300 i may also get some Omni Power high compression valves, i dont know yet. but im gonna run it with the stock springs and retainers, with my stock distributor, complete stock intake manafold(including injectors, fuel rail, etc.) all from my y5, and pretty much just changing just the head it self....and im alos gonna get a p2p ecu.......is this setup ok or will i run into some problems?....keep in mind that money is tight...please help!!!
and one more thing...will i run into any problems with the y8 ecu and my stock wiring on my y5?

Timmay

the y8 ecu will plug as long as its 99-00
you should do obd1 and get a p28

trevorb05

but i thought that 96-00 is obdII so it also will work not just 99-00 am i wrong?
