Im sure this has been covered and ive searched for a step by step instructional, or just anything that will help me complete my project but, i seem to be stuck on what mounts to use and what ECU to use/wiring harness, or just anything i need to know about the wiring part to get up and running, so if anyone has some input please help!! my motor is being built right and i want this to be a clean and easy swap ( not that i wont come across some things that will be a hassle) i just need some help people its my first swap!

 

Use EM1 (1999-00 Civic si) mounts, as for the wiring just get a p75 ecu (obd 2 LS) and it just plugs right up and start it.

 

what about the wiring harness its OBD 1 on the motor(the B18) and the car is OBD 2 do i just use the OBD 1 harness ? or is that possibal?

 

Use an OBDI engine harness. Life will be easier.

 

what im confused about is what runs from the motor to the ECU

like do i use the OBD1 harness that fits my B18a ?

and then after that what does it run to ? i doubt it will tie in with the plug leading back to the ecu ?


to narrow it down how will i hook up the new OBD1 harness to my existing wiring on my EK (97 civic EX)

 

Please disregard what other people have said besides the mounts, that's partially true.

Use the harness that came with your car. you will need to only extend a few plugs like o2 sensor. you cannot use an obd1 civic or integra harness because those engine harnesses do not have the ECU plugs that go all the way through the firewall.

As for mounts, you need the driver side EM1 bracket and block mount, rear EM1 "L" bracket (i believe) and a 94+ b series front tranny mount. the top tranny is stock civic.

It is the same as swapping any bseries motor in your car except for vtec. search!!!

 

so my D16 wiring harness will hook right up to all the sensors on the b18B1 head ?

the b18b head is obd1 (if im not mistaken ) and my cars obd2 how would that work ?

and what about using hondata ECU to tune with

 

oh yea and its gonna be NON VTEC

 

go to the FAQ section for you car, scoll down to motor swaps and there is a link to a detailed obd2 to obd1 motor swap thread. you will find out every thing you need to know. I just completed a similar swap but my car is a 98 ex coupe and I swaped in a jdm obd1 b16. most people will tell you its hard and just get a obd2 motor but its really simple, i did my in less than a week and it was my first swap. so good luck to you

 

ive searched .. you have a link that i can get to something like that, i cant seem to find anything that im looking for

 

here is the link, hope it works.
