Ok long story short Obd1 jdm B16a in the 92 CX Hatch and need to know how to get the injectors hooked up to my original CX harness. I have done alot of research on this wap before i ordered the complete swap and nothing was posted about modifying injectors or anything that had to do with the injectors that come with the original jdm motor. How did u guys make this work? The other thing is the cv axles that came with the swap dont work either and have read that 00 civic si axles do work but will i need the midshaft from a 00 civic si also?

angryhillbilly

any way to put cx injector clips on b16 injectors?
and yes i believe b16 axles will do you justice. as well as the midshaft.

HondaPartsHero

if they're both OBD1 it plug right up, no mods

First.EG

if the axles dont work they might be from an ef you may want to check if
the motor is obd0 if you cant get the injectors to work also.

The thing is that i have a mechanic 3 hours away from where i live doing the swap and im going by what he updates me on the phone. Thats what i thought the injectors should be plug and play. Oh man they better have sent me OBD1 b16a instead of OBD0 cause i got this from jdmplanet for an obd1 full swap kit and im already getting enough reasons to believe that its not obd1. Im gona have to call the mechaninc today and ask him to take a pic to see cause as far as a know to tell really quick if its obd0 is if it says that MPFI on the throttlebody right?

But wait a minute i know for a fact that the motor i got is hydro tranny. Arent all obd0 jdm b16a cable tranny motors?

If the injectors are from a different year you could always just reuse your original injectors.

The b16a may be obd0 but the trans can always be swapped. If that's the case then the original halfshaft may still be attached to the longblock, which uses a different axle.

The original cx axles will not work. You will need 94-01 integra/99-00 civic si/94-97 del sol vtec axles if you have the hydro halfshaft.

Can't reuse the injectors, the cx injectors are only 180cc and the b16s are 240cc, it'll run lean.

If its OBD0 the plugs will be milky white, exhaust manifold will have 2 single wire O2 sensors and the intake manifold will say PGMFI on it.

Ok dont know if it really makes a difference on the injector clips but the original engine in my cx was a d15b8. I called the mechanic thats doin the swap today and he is tellin me that the injector clips on my cx are black and the clips on the jdm b16a are grey and the black clips from the cx are not plug and play on the b16a. Hopefully i can just have him clip the cables and interchange the black clips with the grey ones? Any input on this? Another thing is would it hurt the jdm b16 swap if i drive the car with the knock sensor unhooked? It will be a 3 hour drive back to my house and i just want to get the car in me drive way already so i can work on the last things on my own.

94EG8

That's wack, you should have grey injector clips on your CX, Black injector clips are OBD2, and that didn't start till '96 Maybe someone swapped in some Y7 injectors and clips and some point?

grunt111

Yeah previous owner must have done something to them thats why this has been killin me for like a week cause i know i did my research before i got my swap ordered so i guess they will just be removed and the grey ones will be tied in thanx for your help guys.

grunt111

Oh man this is getting harder than i thought. Went today to take a look at the progress of the swap and now the jdm dizzy does not plug directly with the car's original harness grey plug. Wasn't this part also plug and play? unless the previous owner of the hatch changed that too? shet man dizzies are not cheap either

HondaPartsHero

Are both the plugs gray? If so you can just swap internals over from your old dizzy to this one. If the new one is cream colored you'll need a new dizzy or rig your old dizzy to bolt on. Pics would help even if it is crappy cell phone pics

94EG8

What kind of a distributor plug does the car have? Single large grey plug? I get the feeling someone swapped an OBD2 engine in there at some point, pics would be a great help.

v8killaz

you can break the inner clips of the obd2 injectors to fin the obdI
ive done it several times
they are interchangeable with some modification

and yeah use axles from bseries 94-00 whatever


your mechanic should know this unless he hasnt worked on honda swaps
this is all basic stuff

94EG8

Most mechanics don't do engine swaps.

grunt111

Yeah i looked it up and the obd1 is 2 grey plugs i bet it was changed i'm havin somebody reverse that to obd1. Yeah i also found out today that the one that sent the complete swap sent the mid shaft cut in half like that is goin to do any good. I told the mechanic to go for 2000 civic si mid shaft and cv axles to make it make the match. I emailed the one that sent the motor to see if he is goin to do someting about the mid shaft. This hs been quite a nightmare.

v8killaz

yeah i know he should have went to a mechanic that does this stuff for a living. swapping engines and working hondas. he will have a plethora of honda parts and getting the right ones wont be a problem.
i know most shops wont do swaps thats why you find some street mechanic that has some reputation.

grunt111

Ok got the swap done now i just need to hook up the o2 sensor. Ok well the sensor is in the downpipe that that the motor came with but its missing the grey clip ant the end ,all there is is the 4 wires with the pins at the end of the sensor. I have the diagram for my 92-95 category ecu pin out from the this site but before i start running wires and connecting i want to make sure that there is no ground wire that i need to know about since i guess these sensors have a heating up set up. So run the 4 wires straight to ecu and that's it? or do i need to ground anything so i don't end up frying stuff?
