thanx</TD></TR></TABLE> it's doable, but such a pain, better off going to obd0 or saving up for obd1.

I know if you dig long enough you'll find the how tos.

dizzy injectors wiring etc, it's in faqs, IIRC the 92-00 forum has an awesome retro fitting wiring write up for obd2- obd0.

being the age of the car it's legal for you to install it as an obd0 motor.

Really best way imo is obd1.

 

cool thanks

 

Also, your Y8 tranny is hydro and your hatch has a cable. My friend was trying to do the exact same swap you are talking about and ended up ditching everything cause it wasn't worth it. But good luck.

 

actually im using the tranny outta my EF its just a manual d series 5 spd

and the one with the d16 is an automatic anyway

so even if you were to stick with obd-2, you'd need to buy the ecu and whatnot.

just convert it to obd-1. if you claim you cant afford it, dont play cars.

 

i already have the OBD2 ecu and im only temporarily broke, i just need to get the swap done so i have a vehicle
