I have a 93 DX Hatch and the head gasket is blown and the head is warped. I'm getting a D16Y8 motor from a 98 Civic EX from a friend and I was wondering how easy is the swap and what I will need, will I have any problems having an OBDI and going to an ODBII. And also if anyone knows of a write up or anything that shows step by step for the swap. I've searched but came up with nothing. Also my car is automatic. And I thought about B series but I'm a little low on funds.

 

I would recommend staying OBD I and just gettin a conversion harness, D swaps are the easiest of all the honda engines, use the SEARCH buttom to check for a writeup thats my guess.

 

this dude said it should fit right in.. with the same tranny..

it'll drop right in but make sure you he gives you his tranny too or find a y8 tranny! But a OBDI conversion harness to an OBDII. Good luck!

 

i have it in my with the obd1-2 harness. --> p28 ecu I would say if you had the Chilton manual and you never have done it before and just followed what it said, it can be done very easily.

 

I do have a manual but I'm not sure in its the Chilton's one. So where can I get an OBDII to OBDI harness? And roughly how much would it be?
