help on how to switch obd2 to obd1 b16a
im a swap a b16a obd2 into a eg coupe. right now it has a d16z6 can i use the same harness or do i need a jumper. also can i use the d16 ecu or it wont be as good. or can i just get the whole harness and put it in.
the other thing is does the shift linkage fit on the b16 or does it need a different one.

you CAN use the stock harness but there are some things thatt need to be wired in.
and u have to get si shift linkage, the d series is too weak
you can also get an obd2 gsr harness and plug in a obd1 b16 ecu
it works!

Its not weak, it just doesn't fit. You can use both a '94 - '01 integra linkage, or a '99 - '00 Civic Si linkage.

Now, onto the connector issues I mentioned earlier. The connectors for the distributor, alternator and injectors all need to be addressed. There are about 3 ways to do this, some are better than others.
Method 1
-Cut OBD2 connectors off a junk harness and splice them onto the OBD1 harness.
-Very crude, but it does work fine.
Method 2
-Reuse your original wiring harness
-Reuse your D16Z6 injectors
-Swap the voltage regulator out of the old D-series alternator into the B-series alternator.
-Swap the CYP/CKP/TDC sensor from the old D-series distributor into the B-series distributor housing.
-No real downside to this method other than you no longer have a complete D16Z6 swap to sell.
Method 3
-Use a '96 - '99 Integra (you can use an '00 - '01 harness but you will need to wire in the tach signal wire), or '96 - '97 Del Sol Vtec engine harness, run the vtec wiring if using an RS/LS/GS harness. If using a GS-R, ITR or Del Sol Vtec harness the whole thing is plug and play.
-Method 3 is arguably the best way to do this swap, the only downsides being having to purchase another engine harness, and the availability of said harness.
yes, except for the Si harness, the OBD2 Si's ('99 - '00 Si EM1) use a completely incompatible 1 piece harness. Again to reiterate what I said in my previous post '96 - '99 GS-R, ITR and '96 - '97 Del Sol Vtec are all 100% plug and play.
