I have a 96 b18c, and am putting it into a 93 hatch. looks like i have to swap the jdm distributor connector with the usdm d15 connector. the wires in the jdm connector look like they are bachwards in respect to the usdm connector, is this correct?

HUH?

You probably need this:

 

Thanks a lot for the reply and info. But my problem is the connector on my jdm engine has one big connector while my d15 car harness has two. i have to istall the d15 distributor connector onto the wires coming out of the jdm distributor. any tips

 

Print the diagram I post out, walk outside. Do what it says to do (this color wire goes to this color wire), connect them, and solder them.

Bam done.

Oh use the OBD1 (two plugs) connectors for easy swap for a later dizzy.

 

These are the colors of the wires coming out of my jdm distributor. tan,tan/teal,lt.blue/teal,yellow/teal,white,white/teal,lt.blue/yellow,black/yellow,and dark blue .

There is no "teal" or "tan"

It will be "light" or "dark" *insert color*

This a wiring diagram for a 96 GSR. The color of wires are the same for USDM and JDM.

 

Thanks again for the help. what about re-pinning the alternator connector and hooking up the vtec,knock sensor and iab. what is iab?

IABs (or secondary butterflies) are only in dual runner intake manifolds (h-series, B18c1/4 (GSR). You have two runners in the actual intake manifold (read: dual runners). They have short and long. The longer runner are made for low-RPM to help with torque and low-end "pep". The short runners are designed for higher RPM. They give you better power or "pull". These style intake manifolds provide both low and high powerband(s).

Now, how do they open or close and how are they controlled?
Easy, you have a small black vacuum canister on the underside of the intake manifold. It have a solenoid that controls the vacuum to the diagram (to open the IABs) via electronically. The IABs are CLOSED with vacuum applied (aka, no trigger from the ECU to open). When the ECU triggers the solenoid (pre-set in the ECU for a certain RPM), the IABs get the vacuum taken away and open allowing the shorter runner to be used in higher RPM.

I hope that helped you. Further questions can be answered by the search function at the top right of the IE window.

 

Thank you very much for you patience and help. it is GREATLY APPRECIATED. have a great thanksgiving and thanks again.
