hey guys

okay here is my question my homie took my p28 mugen clip ecu, and i guess he is waiting for his homie to get it for him for a cheaper price.i been waiting for over an month an a half , i am about to do my swap on my ek b16a, and he said he will give me his itr obd2 ecu.....does it make a differnce? n am i going to throw any check engine light?

 

Um... what year car is this engine going into and what generation engine is it, that will help us provide some answers

 

o sorry is a 97 civic dx hb and the b16 is the 1st gen....and i am using a gsr hydo tranny

 

oh, if you run an obd2 ecu you will deff get some check engine codes because the obd2 ecu will be looking for sensors that that engine doesn't have like a 2nd o2, a crank flucktuation sensor, nothing that will really hurt the engine, it will be drivable but an obd1 ecu would be needed to not have any codes.

 

o yea will it fit on a dx harness and yes i know i have to rewire the vtec

yes all obd2 civic plugs fit into obd2 ecus, but you are going to be throwing mad codes because you are putting a obd1 engine in an obd2 car, obd2 systems have more components than obd1.

 

but why doesnt the p2t ecu(2000 si) fit?

 

hey say waht do you know if i need an si L bracket even tho i brought some innovative motor mounts?

96-98 is obd2a and 99-00 is obd2b so how do they all fit. i dont think this guy knows what hes talking about.

is it a us or jdm itr ecu? u wont get any codes if u run the jdm itr ecu. it doesnt read crank sensor or knock i believe. if you use the first gen engine u need to change the injectors, distributor, and maybe the TB

This kid is putting a OBD1 engine in his OBD2 car, and you are telling him he will have no CEL's??? I don't think you know what you are talking about. I am done here help him all you want with your e-mechanic talk.

 

okay... you are trying to put a obd1 engine in your obd2 car and you want to use an obd2 itr ecu. first you will have to update the sensors from the b16a engine. so that the obd2 ecu can read them or you will have check engine lights. but it looks like you have a **** load of finding sensors and replacing them on the older engine. good luck

saywhat's right

if he puts a obd1 engine, get a obd2-&gt;obd1 harness and run the proper ecu, otherwise he will get cel's, and it'll run like ****
