If you swap a 97 or 98 b18c into a 97 civic..which is OBD-2 will you throw a check engine automaticly? if all sesnors are connected i should be fine correct?? just need some quik advice. thanks

 

im pretty sure that 97 civics are also obd2. My 98 is...

 

96-up are OBDII. It was a law passed. All cars are obd2 in the United States if its the same as or newer than 96

 

im aware its obd-II but will i throw a check engine light if i do a b18c swap into a 97 civic? if all sesnors connect?

 

OBD0 -1991, ODB1 1992-1995, OBD2 1996- You shouldn't throw a check engine light if everything is hooked up properly and the sensors are all good. However, when doing an engine swap, there is a lot more involved and many things can go wrong(especially wiring). Who gives a damn anyways, it's just a check engine light

 

in NY we have new emission laws just wanted to see quick if im gonna throw a check.

if everthing is done correctly, then it shouldn't throw a CEL for anything.

 

If you do a good job you shouldnt have an CEL... Hell I wouldnt be satisfied with my swap if I ended up with a CEL.

I replaced my motor with a B18C last week and I have no CEL, first time swapping, did it all myself with the help of honda-tech.com

 

thanks for the info...just wanted to check up on things thanks
