i have a 99 civic hatch. what im wondering is would it be easier to get a 99-00 b16 vs. a 92-95 b16?

thanks for the help......

 

if you don't have strict smog rules like CA just go with a 92-95 obd1 b16. offers more tuning capabilities.

 

if you chose to go with an obd1 swap you will also need the obd2b to obd1 conversion harness for the ECU and the 99-00 Civic Si driver side motor mount and also the 99-00 Civic SI rear T-bracket, also the 99-00 Civic SI throttle cable.

 

Would change to obd1. Alot of ppl wishes they would have changed thier's because the easy tuning caps. All obd-1's can be tuned with ample amounts of systems. Obd-2... Not any that i've heard of, but im sure theres one or two besides AEM. $$$ Hondata can be picked up for just a few hundred depends on what you want..

 

so would i save some money by going with the obd1 motor?

 

i think it would actually cost about the same after all the conversion harness and ecu stuff.

 

thats kind of what i was afraid of.


thanks for the information tho.

 

find out if ur even alowed to do an obd1 setup in an obd2 vehicle. in nj ur not allowed to have an engine that is older than the car.

 

im pretty sure thats the same way in texas but there is always a way around that.

jou just have to know ppl.

 

hell, here in cali people don't follow the law!
