I'm running an external CDI ignition setup in my vehicle that bypasses the internal ICM and coil.

Unfortunately, the CYP sensor in my distributor housing has failed and I'm seeking a new one.

What model vehicles are compatible? I know that the 97-01 GSR is the same as my 99-00 Civic Si but these two are never in the junk yards.

Are there any other vehicles that will work? OBD2b vtec

Can i pull one from an OBD2 LS Integra or even a CRV?

Or am I better off buying a new $60 ebay distributor since I wont be using the coil, icm, rotor or cap

So for reference, since the b18/b20 use the same distributor, you would have to modify the distributor for it to mount properly. The car will run with an LS or b20 distributor.

Here's a good list of the distributors and motors they work on. NOTE: This list only provides DIRECT FITMENTS, and will not list distributors that will work with modification.

I'm not sure if you've trouble shooted the CYP issue, or not.

From RonJ: Check the CYP sensor resistance - spec is 350-700 Ohms. Also check the two CYP wires for a short or open

Yep i've done the troubleshoot

Looks like I'm pretty much limited to a b16/gsr distributor unless I want to run a janky leaking setup

 

obd2 b16/gsr/type r. But remember the caps are different between b16 and gsr/type r distributors.

 

Unfortunately so .

Unless you're comfortable with rebuilding. I believe you may be able to use internals from an LS/B20 distributor.

Edit: The only thing i'm not able to verify is if the sensors/internals and or CYP will be a direct bolt up into the B16 distributor. If someone can confirm... that would be great!

 

SI 99-00 = TD-81

GS-R = TD-86/87

Same harness and bolt pattern, different cap and rotor.

 

You can use the CKP/CYP/TDC sensors from any OBD2 B-series distributor (except '99 - '01 CR-V as they don't have quite the same pins, even then if you jam them in there they will work) Even a '96 - '98 D-series distributor has the same sensors (Except HX)

 

You could also use an OBD1 DOHC VTEC distributor with an adapter harness from a Del Sol VTEC or 92-95 GSR.

 

Great info here!!
