Hiiii, hopefully someone finds this thread useful as I convert to obd 1. I will update frequently with a lot of pictures but here’s a little info:
•1991 Ef hatch 290k-300k ish miles?
•D16y7 long block (from pull a part)
•mono tech jumper harness (obd0-obd1 eBay)
•d15b7 intake manifold
•knock off headers (no cats)
•p06 ecu
•d16y7 or d15b7 alternator (I will update on which one works, probably the b7)
•d15b7 distributor

*some background*: so my friend wanted to buy a beater one day because we were building his racecar (g35 sedan) and he needed a daily to commute to wherever.
he gave me two choices out of the cars he found.
either a manual camry or a Honda Civic.
obviously I went full fanboy when it was a decent looking Ef hatch and convinced him to buy it..........
500$ car just needed a “fuel pump” with 290k 300k on the clock but this car had been passed around more times than a high school cheerleader.
originally had a d15b2 dpfi in it but it ate through 2 sets of bearings in a span of a couple months before it seized up and died.
Went back to square one and pulled a d16y7 that was originally from a riced out autotragic mess from the junk yard but the motor was “fresh” enough so we ran it off dpfi for a couple months and that motor died by eating a bearing and trashing the bottom end again.
By this time we were done with the g35 and he wanted to swap a Y8 and complete the original plan to swap it to obd1 but after that mess he said **** the car because it’s cursed so I bought it off him and now I’m starting my own build with this shell.
I really really like Honda’s (done right) so I decided to not give up on this car and bring it back to life.

D16y7 and a d15b2 short block for parts

I Will take a picture with the engine in the car, i finished the swap around dinner time yesterday and I plan on doing a lot more things in the morning

 

Test fitting some stuff but all that’s left is to do wiring and throw the rest of the car together (still missing a few things)

 

The interior is fucked right now but It’s due for a deep clean, I had the whole swap sitting in the shell all winter
