I'm in the process of building a race car. I bought an Integra shell for my B18B1 swap and since I’ll have a perfectly good integra shell sitting around and a Civic motor, I decided to put the D15B7 from the Civic into the Integra. I have two friends who have done similar swaps (OBD1 D series into Integras) and their cars are running fine. Mine, however, is not.
*****
The problem I'm having now is:
1.) When I turn the key to accessory, the fuel pump does not prime, and
2.) When I turn the key to start the car, I can hear the relay click, but the starter does not crank-- instead, the radiator fan starts.

The car did this once before, but I tried starting it over the course of a couple of days and eventually it cranked over VERY slowly out of the blue.
It ran for a while, perfectly fine—mind you, and then started behaving as mentioned above.

Here are some details around the swap:
Car is a '97 OBD2A Integra with manual transmission
Engine is out of a 93 Civic DX with manual transmission
I am using the OBD 1 ECU from the Civic with a jumper harness
I am using the OBD 2 engine harness and I have modified it
Why don't you just get another B series motor instead of using the D15? Integras are slow as **** even with a B18B1 and you're running a SOHC non-VTEC???

^This is the reason the Honda community is going to ****.
I wish I could pitch in and help, but I'm not quite sure about the solution to your problem. Hopefully someone in here will be able to though. I just came in here to say that a car's driving characteristics go far beyond just what motor is in it. I'm sure it will be fun to throw around a track even with a SOHC in it, depending on what kind of other components you're running on your car. Good luck!

Thanks bud. Gonna try and look at potential grounding issues as a friend of mine said sporadic behavior like this can be caused by forgetting to attach one or two ground wires. Then I'll check power harness to alternator.
D Series into Integra
