Pics of progress up tomorrow...
I think I'll make another "Swap" thread...

Single's coming out this weekend and I'm picking up a transmission :D

Question Honda-Tech:
Using a D16y7 (( obd2a )) engine harness to plug up to a JDM obd2 LS:

The factory's plastic covers and tape prevent some of the connections from reaching their designated location i.e. fuel injector connectors and a couple other unknown plugs...

Should I just cut and modify, then wrap with electric tape ?
I'm stumped xD

94EG8

You should be able to take the plastic piece that goes around the injector wires and bolts to the fuel rail off the JDM engine and put it on your Y7, extend wires where needed (Cut JDM harnesses are a great source for correct colored wire of the right gauge) Any time you have to splice anything use solder and shrink tubing, try to make splices away from plugs.

JdmCoupe91

Aww...
I need to cut a solder ? =[

Time to get a soldering gun ._.

I don't ever recall specifically doing a B-series swap into a '96 - '00 Civic, but I have done several in '92 - '95s, The only thing I recall having to extend was the IAT wiring and the O2 sensor wiring.

JdmCoupe91

Well... Like...
I know they'll reach if I cut out the factory plastics and shizz...
It plugs right up.

But all the tape and plastics prevent that...

Any suggestions ?

94EG8

It really doesn't make much difference, if you want it to look like it came from the factory you can take the loom off the wire a ways back, extend the wiring, reloom and use the plastic stuff from the JDM harness. Simply removing the plastic is fine too, it just wont look as neat.

JdmCoupe91

Yea...
I asked around on b20vtec.

A suggestion was made that I cut// solder some wire from the JDM harness to compensate for the extensions needed to be made...
I'll figure something out and post progress...

Trial and Error here I come xD

JdmCoupe91

So far I haven't had to cut// splice any of the wires...
All I did was remove the factory e-tape and plastic covers and make the proper arrangement for most of the connectors to reach their corresponding location(s).

Haven't plugged EVERYTHING up yet...
But injectors, alternator, distributor, MAP, TPS, and IACV have all been plugged up.
Plan on using the plastic covers from the cut JDM harness.
Correct me if I've done anything wrong guys.

JdmCoupe91

Oh... Do I need to do this if I'm re-using my DX harness ?

i did this swap in my old del its not to bad i just had a hard time finding a obd1 block

JdmCoupe91

Lol...
Just trying to keep everything obd2 bro.

Hopefully I'm on the right path so far.

94EG8

The IACV stuff yes, but I thought you had already done it? Knock and vtec don't have to be wired since LS engines don't have either.

JdmCoupe91

Ooohh so that's that extra 2-wire plug ?
*Nub Moment*

I believe one plugged into the thermostat and there's another just like it
(( IACV if I'm not wrong ))

And I won't be able to use my stock ECU for this right ?

JdmCoupe91

Ok main question do I have to covnert my IACV (( 3plug to 2plug ))

._.

94EG8

If its a 2 wire plug with a single wire going to it, its for the knock sensor the LS engine doesn't have.

Correct, you'll need an OBD2A LS ECU (works perfectly and should comply with any local emissions laws) or OBD1 LS ECU (works perfectly, will not pass emissions in many areas) and finally OBD1 chipped and tuned ECU (generally runs best, costs the most and doesn't pass emissions in most areas)

Yes, simply use the plug on the cut JDM harness that came with the engine. (cut JDM harnesses are a great source of connectors and wire for doing engine swaps)

JdmCoupe91

Kk thanks... Gonna go do that now and post later.

hondacivicek

OK IM DOING A GSR OBD1 SWAP IN MY 97 EK LX I NEED HELP ON THE PLUGS.

94EG8

You should create a new thread.

JdmCoupe91

^This.
Lmfaoo.

Just picked up a tranny today and did the IACV plug conversion last night.
No shrink wrap so e-tape ftw o_o

Pics:
(( Sorry for the crappy phone pics ))

TwoFacedCustoms

AH...go get heat shrink...do it riiiiiight.

It's like 2 bucks for a pack at radio shack...it would look so much cleaner and last alot longer.....

Nice progress though.

JdmCoupe91

^Lmao.

Wil do.
Leaving it taped for now but I'll heat wrap most of the harness before
I drop that bad boy in.

JdmCoupe91

Bump.

Another question:
00 Si "post mount" = Tbracket (( rear mounting bracket )) ??
