i have a quick question. obviously i cant put in a obd1 motor into my ef hatch. wiring harness is the big problem since my ef is the straight base model with 2 injectors and all tht old ****. my question is if i get an obd1 ecu and the chase bays harness(since they said it plugs into obd1 clips) would i be straight to put an obd1 motor into my car. thanks for the help guys and any other info or issues i might run into just let me know.

 

Save yourself a ton of money and pm either Clipsed or crx_si-r. Both can make a very nice harness for you at a fraction of the cost of a chasebays unit. Spend wisely bro.

 

yea i know what your sayin. i was just wondering if this way would be good. just drop in and plug and play ya know

 

the chase bays harness your talking about, is NOT a direct 100% Plug n Play. i would say more of a 90% plug n play. you still need to do a lil bit of wiring at the ecu connectors for non-motor related functions.

but to answer your question, yes getting this style harness will eliminate the need for DPFi (2 injectors) to MPFI (4 injectors).

 

thank you sir. but whatelse would i have to do as you stated

 

just the wiring at the ecu. also some of the harnesses that they offer do not include the alternator charge wire and starter wires. so if you go with those you would have to wire those in. makes it a bit easier if you specify which harness your looking at.

 

putting an obd1 motor in an ef is simple.. you use the stock wiring harness and add 4 wires to convert to mpfi. plenty of writeups on this. ive done it 4 times now...then lengthen the fan switch wiring, add some wiring for the injectors, buy a obd1 jumper harness. seems tho your not much into electrical which not alot of ppl are

 

yea u bassically hit the nail on the head lol. my friends do my wiring for me most of the time. evedything else im good with but when it come to wiring i aint so good.

 

i think you can get custom things done to it. apparentlly they call you to specify everything after you order it

 

yea thats me..the guy that can wire your engine..ive even had to show a friend how to seperate a balljoint from the knuckle and explain wtf a balljoint was lol

 

haha you gotta start somewhere right. like i said im good with whatever but the wiring thing just aint me ya dig lol. but its all good cuz my boy get pretty good with wiring. i actually know a few dif people that if i ever ran into a big wiring issue they could prob help me out. my whole thing with thiong chase bays this is it looks good, looks reliable and for a person like me(not so wire savy) pretty simple.

 

any more info my ppllllllllllll

 

What other info did u need? I thought I covered what you were asking about the harness?
