im putting a odb1 b18 in a 98 hatch, wat is the easiest way to wire the engine ive been told to use the civic harness n ive also been told to use the integra harness can anyone help?

 

You will need to run the civic harness. For less hassle i would change your distributor, alternator, and injectors to obd2 so you wont have to cut any of your wires on your harness

 

the integra harness splits after it goes through the firewall, i was told i only need to wire a couple of the wires on the split to get the car to run if i use the whole integra harness???

i know if i use the odb2 harness i have to change some of the sensor plugs etc.. but im trying to find a diagram so i can wire the harness onto the integra plug, so i can use the integra computer. im wondering if there is a diagram so i dont have to buy a conversion harness

 

i already wired the dizzy n injectors n all the sensors for the odb2 harness. harness is pretty much all attached to the motor, i just dont have a conversion harness to use the integra computer??

 

If you are using the obd2 harness and the integra obd1 ecu then all you will need is a obd2>obd1 jumper harness

 

i wanna wire it myself lol would rather learn how to do it myself, then buy the conversion harness

 

You have a lot of learning to do. The 2 piece engine harness that breaks at the shock tower in the 94-01 integras,92-95 civics do not exist in 96-00 civics. The engine harnesses in the 96-00 civics are one piece. You will have to reuse the original engine harness and extend a few plugs. For the swap simplify, you will use a obd2 distributor, fuel injectors and alternator for the b18. You will also have to do a 3 wire to 2 wire iacv conversion. In order for the ecu to work, you will need a obd2a to obd1 jumper harness.

 

Well the reason why this will not work. Obd2a ecu connectors are different from obd1 ecu connectors. The conversion/jumper harness is a must.

 

so its impossible to make your own jumper harness??

 

It is but you need a spare obd2 ecu to take the connector from and then you need the obd1 ecu connectors from the interior of a 94-95 integra or a 94-95 civic. I rather pay 30 - 60 bucks then to make one. I have made one before, is not worth the time.

 

i have all the connectors just need a diagram n i would have to order a conversion harness, have asked a couple shops n they say i gotta order it online, so who knows how long that would take to get it or if i even get it lol so id rather just make it myself n not waste the time n money waiting for one not to get here

 

anyone know where to find a diagram???
