Sorry, I dont have a yahoo messenger account, but If ANYONE has any b18a1 obd0, or b18b1 obd1 parts, just give me an email at stojicboy@hotmail.com. So I do need a obd0 b18a1 distributor then. How easy was it for you guys to do all the wiring? I am using my stock harness, and ecu. I found a pretty awesome website that has a artical about all the wiring for the b18 in a ef. http://ef-honda.com/ben/ Thanks for the help, David

Ok, so I just got a b18a1 distributor, and the plugs are different! I thought they would be the same as and ef engine harness plugs. What do I have to do to make the a1 dizzy work?
It depends on which ef you start with. If you have a DX then you will want both sides of the distributor plug so that you can repin the engine harness side. Otherwise you could use swap to the old style DX plug and run the extra two wires separately.
it also depends which B18A1 dizzy you bought. the 90-91 b18a is obd0 (white plugs) and the 92-93 b18a is obd1 (grey plugs).

Lets just put it this way. If you were going to put a b18b1 in your ef, what kind of distributor would you use. What would be easiest? Also, what kind of ecu would you guys recommend that I use? obd1, or obd0

lets start off by going in step.
What kind of car do you have?
Is it DPFI or MPFI
Do you already have the B18 in the car
Do you plan on boosting anytime soon?

the easy way is to keep it obd0. so get an obd0 ls dizzy and a pr4 ecu. if you got the obd0 dizzy and it wont plug in either your car is dpfi or you got an obd1 dizzy. like some one said obd0 has round yelowish plugs obd1 is squareish grey plugs. if your car is still dpfi search dpfi to mpfi.
