I picked up a y8 for my 1992 hatch, and I'm new to the swaping.

The hatch use to have a OBD1 b16 in it, and so that is what the harness was made for. So I took it out of the car and now I'm trying to attach it to my d16y8 to install it in the hatch. However some of the plugs are diffrent, the fuel injector plugs, dizzy, and a few others seem to be diffrent.

Am I crazy or is this true? If so what hoops am I going to have to jump though to get this harness together, to work for the civic?

I took some photo's to help with my case, H-T swap pro's please help!

This is the alternator plug, the large one is obd1 the smaller obd2.


Fule injector pugs, obd1 is gray and obd2 is blue.




And a garage shot, everyone likes those

 

Any SOHC wiring harness ( Obv with VTEC) would work fine, for example, My good friend is running a D16Y7(obd2) in his CX hatch (obd1), using the factory CX harness. All the plugs matched up fine.

As for the plugs being different, Im not 100% sure on this, but there may be differences in SOHC harness's, vs DOHC harnesses, dont take me 100% on that, im not totally sure on that.

 

So should I cut the obd1 plugs that don't fit and replace them with obd2?

 

I'd swap over all the obd1 components instead of hack up a wiring harness. Just reuse the injectors that were on the b16 and find an obd1 d series dizzy.

So then I <U>would</U> be buying a OBD1, alt, injectors, dizzy.... god damn then I mine as well just buy a z6

Come on guys, I need some more info there has to be a way to do this.

 

Buyying the correct harness is probably your only option, unless you can find someone local that is a wiz at re-wiring harnesses and doing OBD conversions

 

i have a d16y8 in my 93 ex 2dr.....i reused my OBD1 fuel rail and injectors.....only mod to the harness was the dizzy, where i have to use ODBII plugs with my ODBI plugs together

 

Bump for real information.

 

MALUBAWLA is correct and this will be easiest also.

Ok? Thanks for the help

What about the alternator plug? They are way diffrent, how did you get around that Malubawla?

 

I have a d16y8 in my 1995 coupe. I just used my obd1 harness with the obd 1 alternator.

yeah i used my orignal OBDI starter and alt
prices for obd1 SOHC stuff are very cheap!!
alt.......$40-60
starter.....$30-50
OBD1 wire harness NON VTEC if needed.....$50-70
Custom vtec wire harnes.....$25

Does the motor have a starter and alt? If it does, i would custom make a harness since it seems like you have all the plugs?
