Thanks so if I convert the motor 2 obd1 everything would be plug and play not need to wire up knock sensor and iab?

 

Plug everything in via your stock harness. Rewire the plug for the alternator. You can either buy a sandwich harness for the distributor if you're not comfortable with wiring....or do the distrbutor rewire yourself. Remember to solder the connections. If you're planning on using butt connectors and tape, just buy the conversion harness.

You'll need to make a knock sensor sub harness depending on what ECU you use. Don't break the knock sensor when you unplug it or plug it in. It's very easy to break.

You also need to wire the IAB if you want the IAB to work.

 

Yeah a lot depends on the ecu you'll use. Also if you go this method reuse your SI injectors for plug and play.

 

If you use an OBD2 integra engine harness the whole thing is plug and play, simply use an OBD1 ECU and wire knock back to the ECU if you're use an ECU that looks for a knock sensor. You will need to wire vtec from the solenoid to shock tower plugs if using an LS harness. If using a GS-R or ITR harness it's obviously already there.

 

Which OBD1 ECU looks for knock? I was not aware that there was one.

 

Most of the OBD1 vtec ECUs look for knock. P30, P61, P72, PR3, Some PW0s (the Euro ones don't), P13.

P28, P07 and Euro PW0 ECUs are the only ones I can think of right off that don't look for a knock sensor.

 

Oh dah VTEC ones y0! I never knew the PR3 looked for it. I never had a PR3 with a knock sensor

 

Listen to this guy!

 

Thanks alot guys so.... everything is plug and play with my chipped p28 and do I have to wire the knock sensor?

 

And if im planning to use the power steering and ac what do I need to take form the integra?

 

No need to wire the knock or IAB's with the P28.

 

Yes.

No, it wont look for one, it doesn't have the circuitry to operate the secondary butterflies in the intake so there's no point in wiring those either.

The brackets for the power steering pump. You need the A/C bracket from a '97 - '01 CR-V, everything else you reuse from the civic.
