Default OBD2 to OBD1 harness question

Can one of these harnesses be used to swap a OBD2 d-series motor to an OBD1 d-series car? Any known incompatibilities?

Seems like it should work, but wanted to check before shelling out cash for one.

Thanks.

When you say y8, are you referring to the EX motor?
R/g the virgin ecu
I am going to run the ecu stock.

ya the conversion harness is for people looking to run Hondata's p28 or uberdata on a obd-2 car.

to run a y8 in a 92-95 civic ex/si just use the stock ecu.

In other words:
The easiest way to use a '96-up(obd2) motor in your car is to run it off an obd1 ecu.

Using an obd2 ecu in your obd1 car is not as easy as just purchasing a jumper harness.
That just lets the obd2 ecu physically plug in.

You would still have to do all the wiring to actually convert the car over to obd2.

I see.

Are there any emission/inspection problems with running the wrong OBD computer with an engine?

if you use the p28 with the y8 in the obd1 car you will be fine, everything should plug up but you will have a knock sensor and a csf that wont be plugged in, and you will have to rewire the intake air temp (actually extend it) to plug into the intake
