OBD2 F22 conversion to OBD1
I have a '97 Accord 5-spd VTEC and will be adding a custom turbo kit to it. I would like to convert my motor to OBD-1. Has anyone done this successfully and what is involved ? Any downfalls to it ? I have a fully loaded accord and would hate to lose any functionality....

what i was told was that the parts you'll need is ODD1(distributor, injectors, ecu,....and altenator?)
I'm not sure about the wiring if the harness i spoke with blownhatch and he said i should contack kenji for info on that.

Re: OBD2 F22 conversion to OBD1 (Escobar)
all you need is get the adapter harness from hondata to convert your obdII to obdI. Also you will need a 94-95 obdI manual ecu. Those are the major parts. You might need other little odds and ends.

if your just going from obd2 ecu to an obd1 ecu
i can sell you a conversion harness for 175 and all you do is plug up your ecu and thats it.

Re: OBD2 F22 conversion to OBD1 (KTeller8)
its a conversion harness and new ecu
thats it
the harness will do all the work for you and youll need the new ecu

I appreciate your reply, however I think you are wrong in saying that all I need to do is swap ECU's.
Can someone with experience on this project enlighten us ??
Thanks in advance.

Maybe the people here are smart enough not to convert back. Pretty pointless to do so.

Re: OBD2 F22 conversion to OBD1 (carolinaACCORD)
Pretty much what I meant.
Hondata doesnt have near the capability that the EMS has, but its the same price if you throw in the conversion and all the headaches.
They need to lower their prices or come up with a system that doesnt require the conversion to OBDI.

can't think of any downfalls at all... Skunk2 offers an ECU conversion harness... "This conversion harness offers a pain free alternative for owners of 1996-2001 Honda/Acura vehicles hindered by the factory OBDII ECU. This conversion harness, along with an OBDI ECU, will convert the vehicle to OBDI. Simply plug one side of the harness into the OBDI ECU, and the other side to the factory engine harness. No cutting or soldering is needed..." Application includes 96-99 Accords as well as 00-01 Accords... MSRP is $265.63 but i'm sure you can find a deal on it somewhere... try one of the dealers on honda-tech or maybe groupbuycenter... now you just need to find an OBDI ECU for cheap...

Re: OBD2 F22 conversion to OBD1 (ratherbewalking)
Yea I did this swap to my car about a week ago and it didnt go so well. I bought the Ecu and the jumper and plugged it all in and the car wouldnt even start. Finally i got it to start and then it ran like ****. Someone was saying how the timing or something was different. I even heard of the crank angle sensor being different. Any ideas?

Re: OBD2 F22 conversion to OBD1 (accordexchange)
I'm the friend that (Ratherbewalking) was talking about. I have a 97 Accord LX. And I bought his 94 Accord LX ECU along with a jumper. Did not run right at all. Did not even idol without me holding the gas down a bit. So then I tried plugging in other ECU's like off a civic DX and a Teg-LS. They both idoled fine but of course they are going to make my car run lean. I even tried a h23 ECU. That worked at idol also but made my car a lil rich and brought up the check engine light. Oh well. Oh and the ECU that I got from the 94 Accord LX was not bad, we plugged it in my friends Integra and it idoled fine. Anyone have a clue to what was wrong?

Re: OBD2 F22 conversion to OBD1 (EuRoBrO)
best bit is to contact the guys that made it
the company that makes my harnesses for me. have only had one problem. and they send out a new one and emailed the customer back and forth, till it was fixed. even gave a partical refund for the R&D side of it

Re: OBD2 F22 conversion to OBD1 (accordexchange)
Other ECU's did work fine. The only thing was that they were smaller displacements so they did not give me enough fuel. The only one that ran like total *** was the 94 Accord LX.
