are u going to remain obd1 or obd2

 

obd1

 

wutsa the difference if i went obd1 or obd2

 

ANY1?????????????

 

obd 1 - better for tuning aspect

u will need:
obd1 dist.
obd1 ecu.
and if its from a 96+civic(most likley)then motor mounts too

True to that, and if u have a 95 or lower model chassis (it's ODB1) you'll need a ODB II to ODB I conversion harness (add onto that list)

 

yah i been searching around for a few days now, another thing i couldnt find
is and obd1 ecu ,p28? thanks alot bro

 

p28 is obd1 so if u have one then u dont need the harness conversion or the obd1 ecu since u have it.

 

yah i have a 92 hatch, doesnt have the engine harness..which one do i get then to swapp in a d16y8 and is there a website i can get it from? also i was wondering .. my friend is gonna give me the stock engine harness that came out of a 92 hatch also can i just use that harness for the d16y8?

 

i wanna do this swapp as easy as prosible , i seen people do some ghetto re wiring and stuff lol i wanna do it without any ghetto wiring haha thanks

 

for the wiring u can use ur friends stock wiring harness and add wires for vtec. i forgot what site had this info(ill try to remember)a good site for swaps would be hondaswap.com

 

alright cool yah if u can remember that site let me kno im gonna go check out that hondaswap site right now thanks for the help man

 

DUH i just told u the site i coudnt remember

and remember puff,puff, pass dont expletive up the rotation

 

lol ight

if anyone else has somemore info let me know !!!

 

It would be alot easier if you stuck with an obd1 motor since it is going into an obd1 chasis. If you absolutely must go with the y8, I suggesst using your existing harness and converting the motor over to obd1. If you really want a thorough explanation pm me.

 

i have a d16y8 ..i want a motor thats sohc vtec tho which motors are sohc vtec that are obd1?

 

do any eg hatch's come with sohc vtec , what about the si?

 

so do you think it would be better the use a d15b motor with a stock harness from a 95 civic hatch si. since its obd1 ?

 

d16z6 is the obd1 form of the y8.(basically) It is SOHC VTEC. It came in the ex coupes and the si hatches.

i have a 95 cx hatch and i put in the OBD2 d16y7 with no problems and im running a p08 ecu with the stock cx wiring harness Hasport mounts and an si tranny. should have no problems may have a CEL for a while since some plugs dont plug into the motor from the harness.
