hey everyone, my brother is loking to swap a 98 civic dx motor into his eg hatch. Ive been wondering a bit about it since its an obd2 motor and can i just use the stock engine harness off his current motor, put that on the newer motor and still run his PO6 ecu? or will i need an obd2-obd1 conversion harness? Anyone thats done this swap please help, thanks in advance.

or u can make your life a hell of a lot easier and just get an engine wire harness off of a y7 and scrap everything under your hood.

 

meh, i figure i will just swap his intake manifold off his current dx motor and put that on the y7 along with the obd1 wiring harness too. i figure that will be best idea

 

i take it thats alrite to do?

 

Swap y7 motor with the ecu and harness. THE easiest thing to do imo.

Just swap all the sensors off the OBD1 engine and put it on the OBD2 engine. That is by far the easiest. You can run the P06 ecu. But the only thing is the timing is alittle different, but it will run ok.

 

okay, sweet, thanks man

 

hey crasian, im just wondering if that quote you have from that kid trying to install a turbo, is that real or did you just make that up, caz if it is real, that is pretty messed up......jw

 

ive seen posts like that so im gonna say its real

 

haha yes its real, check this out https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1300926

 

geez, thats crazy

 

lol i know eh

 

that viet_tec dude in his sig is a troll he's made a couple posts like that.

crasian: if I had a working obd1 manifold at my disposal, and I could get a gasket cheaper than an obd2 harness [dunno what harnesses go for where you're at], I would just swap the IM and use your stock harness. the stock d16y7 intake manifold sucks and it would be better in the longrun to have swapped it, plus it'd be the cheaper way to get the car running IMO.

 

why dont u put a b series in and plus thats about as slow of a motor as the one all ready in the car
