ok im not new to this site but its been awhile since ive been on here ok so heres the details-
i have a 99 civic ex (obd2b) i currently have a OBD1 b18b1 in it installed all plugs in and ready for startup this is what i did
since its a obd1 engine i simply had a spare b16 motor with shot pistons rods etc...i mean complete...i took off the ALT, FUEL INJECTORS, FUEL RAIL, AND BOUGHT A OBD2 DIZZY FROM A 96 teggy so the big plug would plug right in...now is this all that i need to finish the swap motor wise....because i just ordered the obd2b to obd1 jump harness and i have a p72 obd1 ecu i know it will throw a check engine light for vtec...but do i need to bypass CKF or o2 sensors? or anything? please help...i know abou the motors but very bad with obd ****.....and wiring etc...

No CKF or 2nd 02 on OBD1. You will throw an engine light for knock and VTEC.

will it run right though and is this all i need to finish it?

Michael Nguyen

any help would work....99 ek very clean just want this baby to fire up...and btw would it be smarter to start the car with the full exhaust system hooked up?

HondaPartsHero

It should but will have the check engine codes.
