Icon2 New to the forums but i need help swapping my ls into my crx

ok i have a 90 crx si but the guys that i got it off of changed it from obd0 to obd1 so under the hood i currently have obd1 single cam vtec wiring with a p28 ecu.
i recently bought a b18b1 with all obd0 plugs, i have axels, shift linkage, a obd0 engine harness,and a pr6 ecu, a ls hydro tranny , the mounts and the t bracket.
now my question is how can in any way get the wiring ready to drop this in , by changing the plugs or anything , and now how does the clutch line hook up to this tranny? let me know

first of all what the hell are you talking about?
OBD1 single cam vtec wiring, im assuming your saying you have the harness out of 92-95 civic (Si or EX model) in your car. im not saying it cant be done, but its very tricky to do this the right way.
P28 is for SOHC and not a DOHC, which is what you currently have.
PR6? what they hell is that? did you mean PR4?


if the harness is working fine, leave it be. you dont have to bother with switching any plugs (aside from converting your obd1 o2 sensor to a single wire). all plugs will plug into their respective sensors.

if your car is running fine with the harness you have now, leave it alone. you wont have to do any splicing. you will just have a few extra wires/sensors left over.

as long as you have an obd0 ecu, distributor and o2 sensor your set. you will of course need to modify your distributor plugs to match the obd0 distributor. your ecu portion, im assuming an ecu jumper was used, will just plug in. it would be easier for us to tell what your working with if you posted some pictures.

converting backwards is fairly simple, depending of course on the condition of your harness and what was done to it.

Master wiring guy? I don't think he knows what he is talking about. Obd2 wiring harnesses are completely different than obd1, already for a civic.

Tell you what, txt me some pics n I'll see if I can help
