he fellas, im gonna be doin my first swap on my own, i've had swaps before but i've always taken them to shops and what not, and im a bit confused on the "obd" matter, could anyone explain it a little bit better, it would be really helpful, thanks

info for planned swap:
car: 1993 civic coupe dx
motor: b18b (havent bought motor yet, not sure what year would be easiest)

 

b series swap into a EG is easy as pie... if you havent bought the motor yet, get obd1 since its just a straight drop in affair (as long as you use the SI rear motor mount)

If youre doing obd2 ,it gets a bit more complicated.. Just remember there are threads up top of the forum that contain all the frequently asked questions about doing these swaps. you can do an obd2 swap for your first one as long as you read alot of the info available here.

since youre dropping an LS just use the SI mount like i said and as long as its obd1 your whole harness will plug up. If you got any questions PM me. all the info you need is available by searching.

 

what year integras are obd1?? and is it cable or hydro tranny??

 

i would get an 94ls motor, they have hydro trans, and are obd1

 

thanks fellas

 

You can easily put a obd2 b18b1 in there too. Doesn't make any difference at all. Thats what i have in my 93 civic. You just need to use the obd1 integra ECU.

 

yeah, 94+ teg harness will plug and play in an EG, and ANY eg harness will plug and play into any 94+ LS motor, with the exeption of extending a few wires to reach the IAT sensor. other than getting the right ECU, and swapping the mounts, motor, tranny, and axles, its plug and play.

exactly, I think I didn't have to extend anything actually, I do remember having to move it around a little so it reached, but i dont think i cut it. I could have and forgot

i would reccomend a newer LS just because there is more of a chance that it will have less miles.

 

OBD-1 is from 92-95 model year
