if you pick up the wire conversion kit for the ecu, you shouldn't have any problems. here's a link:

as for the difference. yes there is a difference. obd1 ecu's are alot easier to work with and tune.

IMO, obd2 are crap. they have alot more sensors, which means alot more money in repair and alot more headaches when trouble shooting.

 

Yes, there are differences.

Umm, your welcome?

 

search for a H2B setup!!!

 

i also wanted to add on. is the H22a swap worth doing in my car. because i can get everything but the motor mounts. for about 1600 tranny and a complete motor. but i was just wondering if it was going to make a difference. from what i have right now which is a d16y8. thanks.

 

You will have to splice on your OBD2 plugs for stuff. I think the oil pump, and distributor. And you will need to get a coversion harness and an OBD1 ECU to get it to run properly. This is all I can think of though. The splicing might not be a big deal though since you are going to have to extend a lot of your wires anyway.

 

if u boost the D.. maybe not.
not sure but i think u will get 200hp out of the H and 210-220out of the D if tuned right!!

a d16y8 is a very good d-series motor...but it is still only a 1.6L single-cam.

the h22a is a 2.2L dual-cam. It has alot more power and alot more potential than a d-series.

 

Bottom line is H has 2.2l, D has 1.6l. Its much more worth your time to invest in the H, given you have the time and money for it.

 

let me ask you something thin.

is it more worth getting an h22a swap, and trying to boost it.
or boost a d series?

 

i invest in boosting the d for the fact that they are easy to tune......h may have more power but lot more headaches....thats in my opinion....

This is somewhat accurate. It would be easier to boost the D, because they are cheap and easy to fix for the most part, and for the fact that you could play around with it and learn. With the right time and parts, you can get about 200hp from a turbo D16. For around the same price, you can get an H22, and have around that power, but remember its a full swap, so it really depends on what kind of time you have.
