I have a 96 civic cx and iam swapping in a JDM B16A which is a 92 motor and it is a obd1 and i am using my obd2 96ex wire harness and i am having problems with the obd1 injectors it wont fit so should i rewire??next is my alternator is different plug what should i do??next is my distrubutor plug is different should i get a GSR one of a 96-98 OBD2 and some of the plugs are hanging and has no where to plug in like there is no map sensor what to do plz help ?

Thank you people

 

hey i just did dropped a b16 into my 97 ex coupe. for the injectors you can use the clips of off a 92-95 civic wiring harness since that is obd1. acutally it would be easiet if you just got a whole engine harness form a 92-95 civic ex or si. you will also run into a problem with your ecu. you will either have to get a 92-95 interior wiring harness(plug ins for ecu) or use a 96 to 98 gsr ecu. for the map sensor you can use your stock one. hope this helps ya out. payce. if you got any other questions you can email me.

Thanks but anyone has done this swap before feel free to ad a post i need some more info

THanks

 

i have a 97 civic dx w/ a 95 b16a2, i used my stock dx harness and added some wires for Vtec, i'm also using a skunk2 obd2-obd1 harness, i used a p28 ECU with skunk2 chip.

 

did u have any problems with anything or rewiring, now my biggest problem is when i tried to drop the motor in everything hits like the pully and alternator like everything hits. i dont no whats going on its so freaken hard it was easy in my EG why is it so hard for EK i dont no what to use for the rear mounts and sides, iam trying to use the sohc mounts and it was hitting my frame of the car plz help?

 

i would highly disregard what this guy said. if u listened to this it would make your life more miserable w/ that 92-95 harness.

 

?

 

at first i had a couple of codes( 14, 41 and 22) the car ran like ****, and now its all
fixed. no more check engine light. it idles fine and runs awesome. anyways my friend used my stock dx harness and ran a wire for my vtec. also you have 2 o2 sensors. you'll only need to use the primary. then i got a skunk obd1-obd2 convertion harness($250). youre also going to move pin a14 to a12 on the stock harness, to eliminate code 14(IAC valve). this is all i know coz while my friend did the wiring on the motor, i was crashed out. hope this helps.

 

get out the saudering gun. But, if you have time, you can carefully remove the housing from the obd 1 and swap it with the obd2
