Hello, I swapped in a d15b vtec in my 88 civic dx. I got a new harness and ecu from rywire. Everything is cool but Im a little confused about the firewall mounted map sensor. When I got my new motor it has its own map sensor mounted on the throttle body. I dont see any place to put those little tiny hoses from the wall mounted map sensor on the throttle body. So my question is can I simply detach the connector to the wall mounted sensor and connect it to the throttle body one instead? Or do I need to get a different throttle body for use of the wall mounted sensor? If anyone has a d15b or d16z6 or any motor for that matter I guess, help me out please! I did the swap myself and this is the only thing I'm stuck on.

 

You can just connect the harness to the throttle body one, remove the wall mounted one and be done with it.

 

Alright Ill do that then, thats what I thought I could do but I wasn't sure, plus its much easier this way. Much Thanks!

yep, same thing I did on my '89 DX

 

is it just plug and play or do I need to get the map sensor plug from other harness or are they the same connector?

 

same connector, but you may have to extend the wires, unless you can free up a little length behind the firewall
