I was wondering what kind of usdm car i can buy a thermostat from, for my buddys obdo b16? looking to buy a thermostat at a parts store like advanced auto, napa, salvo, etc.. But they dont carry "jdm b16 parts" lol what will work?

 

what about the thermo/fan switch too?

 

i'm sure the thermostat off of the '00 si would work.

 

you can get both parts from a 99-00 Civic Si with the b16a2

 

yup!

 

thanks you both

 

np

 

You will need to get it from a 90' Acura Integra (B18A1). The OBD-0 fan switch is different than the OBD-1 and OBD-2 counterparts.

Here is a good rule of thumb to go by. You should NEVER jump two OBD's when trying to get parts (especially electrical related items).

If you need motor related electrical parts or distributor parts use a 90' Integra.

If you need mechanical parts (like internal parts or gaskets) use a 95' Del Sol VTEC (B16A3).

This is all obvious and everyone should learn to know this and love it.

 

Well actually, I always use a 91' Integra...

 

well ive got 2 answers.. 99-00 si thermo switch which has one 2 wire connector.. and a 91 integra ls thermo switch which has 2 small single wire connectors.. the car is a 91 crx si which uses 2 small single wire connectors, but the jdm obdo b16 motor in the car has one 2 wire connector.. My question is, will and obd1 or obd2 switch work fine if we change over the connector, or will an 91 obd0 d series switch work? basically im wondering if the obd0 d series switch is going to screw in to the b16..

 

because it doesnt look like it will..
