why do people with a OBD2 car/motor get a "OBD-1 Conversion Harness"

To place an older, OBD-1 engine into a newer, OBD-2 vehicle. Makes it easier to run the ECU and all the proper harnesses without doing a hack job and installing Algerian Engineering.

 

bump

 

so your obd2 wires can plug into an obd1 ecu

Basically OBD2 ECU's are "unchippable" for lack of a better word. You get a OBD1 conversion harness to run a P28 or other OBD1 ECU to give you control

 

or say u have an obd1 b16, if u put that in an obd2 car u can use the 99-00si ecu n ur car will still read as n obd2 engine, n u may even be able to pass inspection

 

u might wana take ur zip code from below ur avatar, mfers dont play in jerz

 

in the same boat here...would the conversion affect smogging it in a year?

putting an older engine in a newer car will cause u to fail

if putting an older engine into a new car jus get the ecu for the gen of your car instead of converting back for example:
