Okay i have a 1997 Civic with a d15b vtec swap.

it is obd2 running a p2p ecu at the moment i would like to do a obd1 conversion , and run my p28 ecu.

i have the obd2 to obd1 conversion harness. and i plugged it in tonight and it started then died and wouldnt start again..

Is there anything else i need to do?

 

any one?

 

what year D15b swap. Because you probably need to do the IACV fix.

 

i dont know what year the motor is out of, but it went into a 97 civic

 

well check the year. It shoudl be stamped on the head.

 

96 is what the head says in the little circle

 

Can't be a 96 if its a 'd15b' only made em 92-95 bro

 

sry but they made them through 2000. There was a OBD2 3 Stage VTEC one.

 

well i will take a pic tom. i thought it said 96 thoa. will check again tom , and try to get a pic of it

 

ok i am almost positive that the numbers are a 96, in the circle, couldnt get a pic to come out right too dark, so could it be a 96?

 

yes, it can be a 96. Does it have a double VTEC Solenoid?

 

What models did they have the d15's in after 95?

 

d15b in Japan.

 

I take it that it never took off in the states.

 

nope. It came in the VTI in Japan. Here we had the EX with a Y8 and before that the Z6. So the D15B is the JDM Equivalent motor.

 

What distributor are you using? Is the OBD2 dizzy compatible with an OBD1 ECU?

 

Yes as long as you have a conversion harness to plug it in.

 

no its just single vtec selinoid

 

it has the obd2 dizzy with a p2p ecu on it right now, i am wanting to run a p28

 

that is very interesting. But its an OBD2 motor? What is the casting stamp on the head? Because the OBD2 JDM D15b had a double topped VTEC solenoid because it had 3 stage VTEC.

 

ig i will try to get pics once again. maybe use a drop light or something this time...

 

do you have a pic of d15 so i know exactly where to be looking for the numbers?

 

a d15b looks just like a regular Z6.
But I dont have a pic on hand of the double topped VTEC solenoid

 

there is the two pics

 

P2J is y8
