Hey guys i recently did a manual swap on my 96 ex civic... But the auto hardness and ecu is still on. Is not popping vtec and is runnin like crap and obviesly it has a check engine light on, and is wasting more gas.. I have a manual ecu but what should i do... I need help guys.

buster97

asking my buddy that just did a auto to standard ill get back to u in 5 mins


EDIT: he said u can not use anything from auto wireing/ecu must change hope it helps GL

LOLOLOL at the random guesses. You must a Manual ECU and Re-wire the automatic harness.

random guesses?? i just said he needs a standard ecu and wiring harness

BrandonR

You just said can't use anything auto/wiring or ecu must change hope that helps GL.
Kinda random guess sir. However you can use the auto harness, (and really it's easier too) and you CAN even use the auto ECU. You cut one joint on the ECU's circuit board to convert it to manual.

wtf is a hardness???

javifunksEK

which joint is it... And wouldnt it be better if i put the 1.6 vtec computer for the reasond the it has the right amount of fuel/air map and all the stuff, aposse to cutting the joint will it work the same or not...

just look at the link im go do it now.. Ill let u guys know how it when thanx guys much appriciated..

javifunksEK

ok the computer thats on the car now is a p2e i dont know if to perform the 99-00 iacv pin change or the 96-98 because when the guy sold me the car he said it was a swap..

BrandonR

Whats a swap? You said you have a manual ECU. Just go ahead and use that. I mentioned the auto ECU can be converted if you must. I know that for a fact on OBD-1, but not 100% sure on OBD-2. You should be running the ECU for a D16Y8, or whatever else (B16,B18, etc.) the ECU for that engine.

Basically all you need to do is re-wire the auto harness, and plug up the manual ECU (P2P) and your done. At least from what you say. Later, BR

how do i re-wire the auto harness.. becuase the p2e has 4 plugs and the p2p has 3 plugs so when i plug it in... it wont turn on the car... because one of the plugs cant get connected because the p2p is 3 plugs.

javifunksEK

MY thing here is that i have a p2e and i want to know if i can just plug in the p2p to the wireness of the p2e... Well ive plug it in before but doesnt turn on the car... What should i do..

And this bit taken from it
Intake Manifold and Throttle body: You need a y8 manual intake and for throttle body we used an LS throttle body. You could use any manual throttle body, i suggest y8 so you dont have to play with the map. Make sure you get a 2 wire IACV with the intake because if you dont have that you will throw a code and run like ***. We also got a new intake manifold (Y8, use that even if your using a y7 head Part #: 17105-P2F-A02

ECU: Unless your doing something else that involves boost or different setup other then stock you will use a manual y8 ecu (P2P) You could also get a jumper and get a chipped ECU. Most chipped ECU's (if not all) use 2 wire IACV so youll be fine.


So have you done this? Later, BR

im not sure if the intake manifold is manual or not.. I havent done my two wire iacv i will as i soon as i can get the sensor...Now if i do a two wire iacv will i be able to use the p2p. Cus as off right now i take off the p2e and the car wont turn on...
