using clear english with punctuation is the first step to getting good, helpful responces in any forum.


excuse me while I get down from this soapbox.




ok, you have an OBD2b civic with a trashed OBD2a "franken-D16." you want to keep the VTEC head to swap onto a running OBD1 D15. you need to know how to do this and what, if any wiring or converting will be involved. correct?


my recommendation is to save yourself the trouble and just install the D15B7 as is. there are some simple mods to make the current engine harness work with the OBD1 engine. a quick search should get the details for you on that. an ECU conversion harness will let you run the P06 that goes with the D15. easy peasy.
