I just got my car back from some unfortunate circumstances. I need help putting it back together. i know nothing about these cars and i need to find out what motor is in it and what i need to make it run and drive. its a rhd eg6 the car was stolen and gone for a year and a half until it was recovered and i got it back in its current condition.

 

It is a B16A .... What happens when you try to turn it over? It not being able to run could be a lot of things i will need more info

 

OP where do you live and why is the car RHD?

 

Also add car information to your first post.

i have not tried to turn it over because its missing a distributor and a battery.it has a sticker on it that says it was rebuilt so i'm hoping its ok. i was gonna get those and try to connect everything i could before trying to start it. I live in the states and the car was imported back in the 90's.

 

I would put the distributor on and the battery first.... Make sure everything is hooked up and if you run into problems after that id be glad to help

 

yea thats the plan but i need a hand finding out what distributor to buy and i was hoping to find some of those plugs homes to connect back to before starting

 

Should we assume that the car had a different engine it prior to being stolen? Give us more background about the car.

 

when i bought it it had a b16 but i never checked or modified it because it ran and drove just fine. this car was all original from japan and i was told it was originally a 92 model.

 

The distributor should be reltively easy to find ... Even a simple google search for b16a distributor should be what you need ... As far if its obd1 or obd2 distributor would matter on the year...
Also someone correct me if wrong buy you might be able to use a regular civic dizzy because i believe they are interchangable

 

i did that already i just need to find out if i need an obd 1 or 2 type.

 

Wow never saw a guy steal a car then modify it. But then again those aftermarket parts were probably stolen as well.


Sorry about your loss. And glad you gained it back.

I would recommend to try to find a B16a dizzy, the jdm b16s come with 10 more hp and using a usdm dizzy would not be effiecent, might work but up top you'll get some bogging.

 

Is the original ECU still there or was it stolen as well? If still there, what's the ECU code?

 

there is a computer tell me what im looking for and ill get you the info. Should i get an obd 1 or 2?

 

There should be a label glued on the ECU. Post a picture. It's likely OBD1, though you need to verify.

this was the only label on the ecu the rest was empty

 

The stock OBD1 P06 ECU is designed to run an OBD1 D15B7 engine, not a B16 engine, so the ECU is not stock for your engine or car. However, a chip can be plugged into the P06 to program it to run other engines, like yours. Remove the top from the ECU and post pictures of the inside. Somebody will be able to tell you whether it is chipped and how to figure out whether the chip is specifically programmed to run your JDM B16A engine.

 

this is what it looks like inside the computer

 

ok thanks for he help so far. what i am getting from this so far is that i should get a obd1 dizzy and a p30 computer?

 

ok what pictures can i get to help you?

 

Can I get some assistance here please. I'm ready to order some parts. I'm going to order a p30 computer a obd1 dizzy and a radiator. Does this sound about right?
