Default Wiring tango

I'm doing a OBD-1 B18b1 swap into a what appears to be an 88 that currently has a D16Y7. Vin says ED8 which means this car originally had a 1.5L.


I do not want to do OBD-0 because I already have an OBD-1 GSR engine harness and injectors.

What I want to do exactly is use these junction connectors here with the GSR OBD-1 harness by just re pinning them, and yes I'll be using and re pinning ecu connectors also.



I've downloaded several CRX service manuals and none show the model that I'm working on and they dont match the 1.5L Harness colors where can I get this info?

That's a **** load of work because you have to deal with both sides(the main harness on the driver side also).

I forgot what diagram I used but took me awhile to gather all the information; I pretty much just followed the wires or looked up the colors. I ended up just making a driver side "conversion harness", then cut main harness from a EG EX(from engine connectors to ECU, cutting out the stock one), then just soldiering in the corresponding wires that were left on the main harness.

thats what i did when i did my b16 swap. i used the jdm harness because the dx harness was trash. i spent a week tracing wire and depinning-repinning, and or soldering-heatshrinking everything. in the end i was a lot happier.

i used the honda shop manual and the b16 suppliment for mine.

get a obd1 engine harness, and use a obd1 jumper harness. the jumper hearness will have leads that come off that have knock, o2, v-attack, etc.

You should go to rywire.com and let them do it for you. It may cost some money but atleast youll know its done right. Im doing a d15b vtec swap. I used to have a d15b2 which was obd0 and dpfi. The d15b vtec is obd1 and mpfi. You basically send them both wiring harnesses from each engine and they mix them together so to speak to make one wiring harness for your new motor. I would go to rywire.com

Welp since the ED8 service manual tells me little about what junction it goes to accurately enough I :
Cut the D15's harness up. I'll get back here with some questions for sure.
