Default Swapping 94 civic w/OBD1 B18B with 96 civic w/OBD2 D16Y7...whats needed?

Before I get an earfull about not searching, "OBD1 OBD2 swap" and other relavent wordings aren't turning up much. Wisconsin also isn't littered with tuner shops like socal that I can just wander into and ask.


Here's the deal - I have a 94 HB with a 95 B18B (basic swap, no big mods) but I plan on getting a 96-98 HB and swap the motors between cars. I plan on either selling the EG/D16Y6 or using it for a D-series turbo project my friend and I are planning, and keeping & eventually boosting the EK/B18B afterwards. The d-series turbo project is mainly for learning - cheaper to blow a D16 than a B18. Based on what I know, my best guess is that I would need another OBD2 ECU for the EK/B18B and can probably get away with moving the D16 & ECU into the EG assuming I add the proper wires/sensors. If push comes to shove, the guy who did my swap originally could find me a ODB2 B18B and trade mine in for some cash since LS swaps are pretty big around here. I need to go the cheapest route since I have school, bills, a turbo project coming, a EK to buy, and a tranny to rebuild.

Anyways, assuming its doable, I would like to know what's all required for me to get this done as far as parts and modifications. General pricing would be nice too. Thanks.

Before you do this check with your state laws about motor swaps and emission laws. I am not a pro and there are a few thing that I may be corrected on but this should get you started.

1. obd-2a ls ecu
2. obd-2 ls dist.
3. Iacv plug needs to be cut off and replaced with a two wire Iacv plug. Connect the yelllow/black wire from the civic harness two the green/black wire on the two wire round plug. Then do the same with the Blue/Black wire to the black wire on the plug. The orange wire is not used.
4. Crank Fluckuation Sensor wires need to be color match from three down to two wires with the third wire not used.
5. 99 Civic Si Drivers side upper mount
6. 99 Civic Si Rear crossmember mount.
