I'm swapping in my B18C1 from my 97 GSR into my 98 EX and I ran into a problem. The crank sensor plug on my EX harness has a 3-Wire plug and my GSR has a plug only 2-wires. I have the female end that connects to the GSR crank sensor but I'm not sure if i need to do some rewiring or just do a CFK bypass trick. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

 

will the crank sensor fit from the ex? if so just put that sensor in the block... i dont see why it wouldent fit, there both honda

 

i used the cfk trick because my motor has no crank sensor (obd1 motor obd2 car) and it works fine... so unless you feel like repinning you could just do it this way take no time at all

incase you didn't find it http://technet.ff-squad.com/ckftrick.htm

 

since my motor has a crank sensor would i run into any problems if i just left the crank sensor disconnected and perform the cfk trick? the thing with obd1 motors is they don't have a crank sensor what so ever. so I'm just making sure I wont run into any problems if i go and do this. thanks for the inputs btw

 

so with the crank sensor unhooked will i run into any problems?

 

itll throw a cel..
do you have the engine harness from the gsr? depin the civic crank pos sensor connector wires and depin the gsr ones.. swap the gsr connector to the civic harness.. match the two wires.. and cut/tape the third to the harness.. its unneeded..

 

just run the bypass trick...it does work

 

just swap on the 2 pin plug from your GSR harness, disregard the black wire and just match the colors

 

yeah i have a gsr harness. i think im gonna depin the plug and match the colors. havin a crank would probably be better then by-passing it. thanks for the help guys i appreciate it.

 

Just match the blue and white wires. Disregard the last wire.
