Ok heres the problem i had an 89 wagovan traded for this 95 integra kinda a big mistake im a noob when it comes to hondas the teg has a b16a swap but it was done by some 11teen year olds it was running when i got it but not good i was told by a tech it was running in safe mode burning full rich ok onto the problem the wiring harness on the engine is all burnt and missing a ton of plugs it has a p30 ecu in it basically im trying to find out a good starting place on the wiring harness like whats a good car to maybe pull a OE wiring harness out of and make it work with the b16a unfortunatly there are not alot of b16a or a2 engines sitting around the junk yards here like i said im a noob so any help would be great the car currently wont start it cranks forever just wont turn over i made a mistake on this trade now i figure im gona have to eat **** and fix the car please help me thanks in advance .....oh sorry about the giant run on sentence

 

Bump anyone?

 

You can use an LS harness from 92-95 and add the wiring for VTEC and knock or GSR 92-95

 

Yeah start from scratch with a bone stock 94-95 harness so you know everything is right. Adding the necessary wires for vtec is much easier than trying to figure out what some idiot hacked up.

 

1 Rip out your wiring harness
2 Get an LS harness for a 94-95 or 92-95, not sure, id say stick with 94-95
3 Run 3 wires for vtec into your ecu

Even if you just put in a 94-95 harness, the car will run great, just no vtec. Ultimately you'd want to get a b16 ecu, I have a feeling your ecu is on a shitty tune, what does the ecu stamp say?

 

Ill get the ecu stamp and I figured out why its not starting it has no spark I hooked a spark tester to it tonight and nothing so my new question is what distributers will work with the b16a I tried looking for an ignitor oriellys has them for like 188 so I'm thinking junk yard will be cheaper also sorry for all the questions but it has a hard time starting in the morning when its cold I'm assuming its the coolant temp sensor that's below the vtec
Solenoid right? Cause its not plugged in

 

37820-p30-a00
440-302500
denshigiken AXM this is what's stamped on the ecu sticker

 

Me i get a obd1 gsr dizzy, like the others say find a Ls 92-95 manual engine harness then add vtec wires and that ecu is a JDM ecu from a sirII obd1 B16a if i'm not mistaken so thats the right ecu but it could have been opened then tuned with something who knows??. quote me on this i'm new to the honda game 2 lol but know some things.

 

It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if it was opened I just checked the local pull and pray and they have a94 ls hopefully its not cut up but the gsr dizzy will work ill see what I can find and ill keep an update on progress

 

Im relativley new to the forum and Im looking to do ls/vtec with a b16 head. Would the wiring and ECU setup he is running work for what i plan to do. My car is currently obd-1 and i am hoping to keep it that way. thanks

 

keep your wiring, just add wires for vtec and get a p28/p30/p72 ecu, and obd1 is your only option.

 

This is gona sound dumb but where is the igniter located at in my distributor so I know what I'm looking for? Is it the black box to the left of the rotor button?

 

When you lift off the rotor, and then the cover, you see two modules: one is the coil (the tall tower), the other smaller one is the ignitor. The ignitor has all the connections across the top that the wiring connects to (spade connectors).

 

Also called the ICM

 

Thanks alot the picture is super helpful is it common for the ignited on these to be exspensive or am I looking at the wrong car I was priceing igniters for a 2000 civic so with a b16a2 will other engines distributor icm work so I may possibly get one cheaper?

 

update on the integra i bought a brand new icm for a b18b1 and installed it yesturday on my lunch break the car starts now but its idleing at like 100rpm
like right above 0 and the engine shakes real bad i left it running for about 20 mins trying to see if it would warm up and idle higher but no dice so my question is would the icm from a b18 cause it to idle low?
