I just did a B17A1 swap in my 93 SI Del Sol and have a few questions that i want to clarify.

1. Is the injector on the B17A peak-hold or saturated?
2. Can I use my stock p28 ECU to start the engine?
3. Is the B17A intake manifold/TB interchangeable with B16/B18C5?

thanks for quick reply

actually the injectors on a B17a saturated and also if you use the stock B17a intake man you can't use a OBd1 style tbody as those have a FITV on it. you could however use a 96-teg one as those don't use a FITV. you can use the P28 to start the car.

Thank you....btw is where a fan switch on the B17A? because I have a fan switch plug but I can't find a fan switch on the thermostat housing

smart monkey

it is actually on the back of the block. it has two prongs sticking out. if you want to do it on the thermostat housing you need to get a housing with the sensor on it.

The thermostat switch should be on the back of the block as 2 male connectors - looks like the oil sending unit except with 2 connectors instead of 1.

Yes you can start the engine with the P28. You can also have the ECU chipped with DOHC VTEC specs to run the motor.

Yes you can use the B16A or ITR intake manifolds.

Thanks everyone for the quick reply

since my motor is in the car, it hard to look for the thermostat switch behind the block. Is it on the alternator side or intake side?
btw: would any b-series thermostat housing interchangable?
thanks

smart monkey

the switch is more on the drivers side. near the oil filter. it is the one with the two wires and it covered by a rubber boot or sleeve. you can swap out other bseries thermostat housings but the ls one is the matching one. the 94-gsr is one not to use.

nevamind

OK so LS thermostat housing is the best candinate, and when I look at the fan switch I not too sure if the person who had the motor before had swap out the B17 fan switch for a newer fan switch that had OBD1 plug. There is one sensor there that I can plug the fan harness to, and it right next to the oil filter.
