im gonna be turboing my accord soon and i want to convert to obd1 for ease of tuning (not me taking it to a shop). i went to phearable.net and looked around, but the more i looked the more confused i got. i know i need the conversion harness, but thats all i know (sad isnt it?). also do i need to convert the injectors to obd1 with conversion clips or what? what about a 2.5 bar or 4 bar map sensor? i will be building the engine to hold around 10 pounds and it is my dd so i want to get this **** right the first time.

 

Jumper harness and ECU are all you need. If you're going turbo, chances are you'll end up changing the injectors anyway, but you can use either injectors; OBDI or OBDII, but if you switch to OBDI injectors, you'll have to change the injector plugs as well because they are different.

 

you will also need to swap over to a 2 wire obd1 iac valve. pm phearable thats what I did for the last month just to buy something to tune with yesterday. he's a real helpfull guy.

 

Yeah, if you don't do this, it idles like crap. I had to build an adapter plate to accomplish this. You can also purchase a F22 intake manifold too.

I'm not too sure if the time has changed but back in the days (2 years ago), looking for an okay base map for the f23 was next to nothing.

 

blacktraxx makes an iacv adapter that fits you can also make the adapter yourself one fairly easily as stated before.

Just got hondata s300 through phearable. It should be in the mail soon he is providing me a base map with the system. I have been talking to him for a while about this so it should work flawlessly like his other basemaps.

 

good stuff. another question...............im a lazy sob so what if i get an aem fic? will that give my tuner enough tunability to avoid detonating my engine?

 

get the fic and not do the conversion, just to clarify.
