trying to help my buddy out but his motor is a obd0 ls swap that he is trying to put into his 96 civc...wanted to find out how much of a difference is doing this swap compared to a obd1 swap, in regaurds to wiring and can i use the 99-00 si engine mounts? any help thanks (ive been using the odb1 into odb2 civic write up for a guidline but have ran into some bumps)

 

Are you going to try and make the motor obd2?

 

yes i would like to ...if possible

 

Check Rywire.com for the ecu jumper

 

Okay as far as the 99si motor mounts yeah you can use those but need to change the post mounts on the motor.

 

what would i change the post mounts to? the tranny mounts goes on fine the L mount is good, but the mount on the timing belt side doesnt go on smooth?

 

bump

 

you need a 94+ teg post mount

 

wouldn't that be an illegal swap? just funny

 

thanks ....with obd0 can i change it to odb2 thru the same way i do odb1 to odb2?

 

yea. just swap out the obd0 injectors and distributor for obd1/2 parts

 

the fan switch wiring will also have to be extended to the back of the block from the thermostat housing from your original motor. You'll also need to change from 3 wire to 2 wire IACV if his car is anything other than a 5 speed EX. Honestly if you are going to all that trouble it might be better to change to OBD1 instead of OBD2. You'll be dealing with less sensors (2nd O2, CKF which the LS motor you have doesn't even have, emissions pieces) and if he wants to tune it later it'll be easier.

 

thanks^^^ my buddy wants to swap it to odb2 for emission purposes plus he has all the odb2 pieces needed.....i wish he went odb1 muchhhh easier
