Hey. There is this 96 dx hatch that I am thinking about buying. It has a 95 gsr swap. Since the swap is older than the car and the car is now obd1 instead of obd2, I highly doubt that it will pass PA inspections. My question is this: what would be the cheapest way to make it obd2 again so it would pass? Could I just wire an obd2 ecu and put in the additional o2 sensor etc? Or will that not work right? Do I need an obd2 distributor and stuff? Could I put an obd2 head(gsr or b16) with the obd2 ecu etc? Or am I better off not getting this car? I tried searching but didn't find anything useful. I also posted this in tech... Thanks.

kinda depends on how the swap was wired to begin with. if it's a stock 96 harness with added wires for vtec and knock, then it'll be pretty easy. just unplug the jumper harness to the obd1 ecu, plug in the obd2 ecu, and extend the wires for the secondary o2 sensory to the back of the cat and you should be done. some emissions stations aren't that strict and when they hook up the scanner and it doesn't work, they'll throw the car on the roller like an obd1 test session. hope this helps.

 

Thanks man, I'm supposed to look at the car again today, so I'll just ask about the wiring.
