the deal is, i found an obd-1 b16 head for a really good price but my car is obd-2 is there a way to convert just the head to obd-2 without changing the whole wiring of the car?

thanx in advance

 

Uhhhhhhh...... just run your OBDII distributor and intake manifold.

Edit: The intake manifold is the same, but the injectors, and one emissions sensor is different, might as well leave you manifold on the car, take the head off while the manifold is still in the car, bolt the new head in its place.

 

i juz read post from another web site and it says Alternator, Injectors, and Distributor have to be obd2 for the head to be obd2
can anyone confirm this?

 

OBDI PR3 head is EXACTLY the same as OBDII PR3 head.

The alternator is not part of the head, it's bolted to the block so that wouldn't even apply to the situation. The fact that those 3 parts should (not must) be OBD2 parts is correct.
What people have mentioned is that the OBD2 and OBD1 PR3 B16 heads are the same. The bolt-ons (intake manifold, distributor, injectors, etc.) are what makes them different but those are not typically considered part of the head. Once that stuff is unbolted and you have just the head, it's the same part.
As mentioned, all you need to do is swap just the head and then bolt your stock OBD2 distributor and complete intake manifold onto it. But what I'm wondering is why you are wanting to swap the head in the first place? If your old one is damaged and it needs replaced then that's understandable. If you are doing this with the assumption that you will see better gains and the OBD1 head is stock, then don't waste your time and $.

 

my situation is that i bought a jdm b16 block that im building and a 96-98 ex wiring harness so that i didnt have to wire for vtec. i needed a head to put on it, so i found an obd1 b16 head for cheap and i wanted to convert it to obd2 so that it will match with the engine harness, i was also gonna do a jumper harness to an obd1 ecu so that i could run some kind of engine management but i didnt know what was needed to make the head work with the harness

 

have adams do everything for ya
