i have a 89crx si and planing to put an 96 ls/vtec engine into it do u thing it would be better to convert the car to obdII so that the engine would plug in. then convert to a obdI ecu or just stick with an odbII ecu and how would i go about doing either one

thanks for the help

OBD1 !!!

 

obd1 all the way.

 

r u saying that i should try to find a obdI ls and convert it to that or us my 96 ls obdII and convert that to obdI

thanks

 

OBD2 converted to OBD1, OBD1 is da bomb for tuning.

 

OBD1 is best.. as mentioned..
You will use your stock vehicle harness, you will NOT change your engine harness.
You will however, change plugs, and extend certain wires.

We try to make it as simple as possible. If you choose the Optional Modification Option, or stick with OBD0 Injectors, it will be a plug and play item.

DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING TO OBD2.
Your distributor can be OBD2 and function with a OBD1 ECU just fine.

 

I didn't say to change anything to obd2, am I getting yelled at or being misinterpreted?

 

i can convert my car to obdI and still us a obdII engine with just some mods to the harness and an obdI ecu correct me if im wrong

thanks for all the input

 

Correct.

 

one last question can rywire do this and make it plug and play if so how much and what ecu do i need for it the Engine is a 96 ls and im converting it to vtec

thanks for all the help its much Appreciated

 

Rywire can do it plug and play, but you can also DIY, just a matter of how valuable your time is. Running a chipped p28 is prolly your best bet on obd1 lsvtec.

 

how would i go about doing it my self would i have to just take the plugs off the ls harness thats not on my stock harness and just add them on

thanks

 

Chop the obd1 plugs with some wires out of a car in the junkyard, and find a burnt up obd2 ecu (I could get you one) and then take the plugs off there. Then solder all the corresponding wires together and you'll have a plug and play harness. Search around, there are plenty of pinouts and diys for that kinda stuff.

 

thanks for all your help you cleared up everything for me i cant thank u enough
